We asked out a few of our employees about what are the school trends in construction, this was their answer…   💡Owners are carefully balancing budgets, contemplating 'wants vs needs,' and maximizing every dollar for features in their buildings. Each district's unique priorities shape the materials, designs, and systems they embrace.   🏗️Excitingly, there's a surge in projects at Vocational Schools like Apollo, Vantage, and Millstream, fueled by state investments in expanding programs.   🤝Steven M. Schroeder and Brent D. Stechschulte highlight the varied project ideas—some districts know precisely what they want, while others seek guidance. Touchstone, drawing from its wealth of experience, ensures districts achieve both aesthetic appeal and functionality within their budgets. It's a dynamic journey in school construction!   #SchoolBuildingTrends #ConstructionInsights

PUSHING THE ENVELOPE I would like to pile on the congratulations to the project team, but with a Building Science twist: Not only did they receive the 2024 MCA Choice Award, they also achieved a Whole Building Air Tightness test result of 0.015CFM50/SF!!! For a point of reference, the Phuis airtightness requirement is 0.060 CFM50/SF. - 285,000 square feet building footprint - 423,000 square feet exterior enclosure surface area If you want the equivalent value at 75pascals, the power law conversion would be 0.019CFM75/SF. If you’re stuck in your ways and want to turn this into a less sensible metric, the average building height of 34 feet would give you 0.04ACH50 Multipoint table and chart in the comments below.

More than 59 percent of main instructional buildings were built prior to 2000. So much has changed in safer school design since then. As schools renovate existing buildings, they can improve the level of safety and security on campus by updating their locking hardware. In his latest blog for Building Design + Construction, Ken Cook, Director of National School Safety and Advocacy for Allegion, states visual indication trims that are backwards compatible not only support school safety but can also be cost-efficient for retrofits.
