Dr. Earthman’s book, Planning Educational Facilities, represents a classic example of excellence in school facility publications. With his distinguished scholarship and practical experience, Dr. Earthman leads readers in a step-by-step approach to educational facility planning. Dr. Earthman discusses educational facility issues based on the perspectives of school board members, school superintendents, school district and site administrators. Concerns of the designers, the contractors, and the occupants are also significantly addressed. This book particularly stresses the sustainability of school buildings and their life expectancy.
School building maintenance, operation, and safety are the special concerns
Earthman emphasizes in the planning process. Planning Educational Facilities is a book school administrators involved in facility planning must read.
