Overview
From July 2008 through April 2009, the State College Area School District undertook a process to develop a facility master plan that addresses the school facilities in the district. Four factors that create the facility master plan are student enrollment, building condition, educational framework, and costs.
Planning Process
The planning process is developed with extensive community involvement, and focused on developing a facility plan that will meet the school facility needs for the 21st Century. The Facilities Master Planning Steering Committee was formed as an advisory group to guide the process, and is representative of different areas and interest groups within the school district. DeJONG, and educational facilities planning firm, was hired to facilitate the planning process, and to assist the Board of School Directors to make the most appropriate decisions regarding school facilities.
