Planning and Designing Illinois Public School Facilities: An Ethnographic Study of the Process

The study investigates the factors influencing decision making in public school planning and design, and how those factors rank in importance. The study takes the approach that architects, superintendents, and principals view the role of facilities differentially based on individual professional orientation. It assumes that educational objectives of designers and managers differ, and as a result, educational settings may not properly serve the needs of users.
