SchoolBuild: From Idea to Construction
Published: October 24, 2017
The dedicated professionals who run charter schools are more typically committed educators than real estate experts, but high-quality building space is essential to the students’ educational experience. This mismatch of need and expertise can leave charter school administrators in a difficult spot, but LISC has created a new tool to walk people through the intricacies of educational facility development.
SchoolBuild, a new interactive, online tool, is packed with information about every stage of the process. The detailed SchoolBuild guide includes informative articles, links to resources like financial templates, a project cost calculator and a state-by-state map of available charter school funding options. Users can begin at Step 1 to learn how to get started thinking about their projects, or can skip ahead to more advanced steps that match where they are in the process. Explore the stages of development:
