The MSBA has issued a new project advisory: Project Advisory 35. This advisory provides information on a new page that was created to support districts and educators in the exploration of concepts and options for proposed projects, the Educational Facility Planning page. The MSBA recognizes the importance of Educational Planning, especially as it relates to the effective planning, design, and construction of adaptable school facilities. Educational Planning will help inform school designs that are responsive to current teaching and learning practices, while providing flexibility to accommodate future changes in learning environments and educational delivery methods during the useful life of a school facility.
