Why Develop a Master Facility Plan? …educators see a high performance school as a school where students excel in their studies. The physical facility and educational outcomes, such as teacher productivity and test scores, certainly are linked… Nearly 90 percent of school leaders see a direct link between quality of school facilities and student performance. School Planning and Management (2011)

Temperature and Student Performance Temperatures at the warm end of the comfort zone tend to increase adverse health symptoms, while temperatures at the cool end of the comfort zone tend to reduce symptoms. Similarly, individuals perceive the quality of indoor air to be better when humidity is at the low end of the comfort zone. Environmental Protection AgencyInstitute of Medicine.

Reinvest in Marshall Schools’ Facilities? How What Why
Older Buildings…Facilities Perspective Buildings built in the early years of this century - or before - frequently were built for a life span of 100 years, while more modem buildings, particularly those built after 1980, were designed to have a life span of only 20 to 30 years. Engineered Systems “Not Making the Grade” by Joanna K Turpin April 1998
Older Buildings…Educational Perspective Building age is an amorphous concept and should not itself be used as an indicator of a facility's impact on student performance. Many schools built as civic monuments in the 1920s and 1930s still provide, with some modernization, excellent learning environments; many newer schools built in the cost-conscious 1960s and 1970s do not. “Do School Facilities Affect Academic Outcomes?” by Mark Scheider National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities November , 2002
