Kirkeby, Inge Mette
(Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, Programme on Educational Building, Paris (France). , Feb 2002)
This paper describes the Nordic “School of Tomorrow” network of educational buildings. It is commonly agreed among the Nordic countries that no one optimal school exists, but that there are many suitable architectural answers. The Network, established in 2000, meets once a year to exchange and discuss knowledge, experience, and ideas concerning school buildings and to collect knowledge in special fields. Members are Denmark, The Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Aland. The Network has made a list of urgent research topics related to educational facilities, and is planning ways to promote and support research in educational facilities issues. As an example of how one Nordic country is trying to increase knowledge about good schools, the paper describes the Danish initiative “Rum Form Funktion,” which is an alliance among the Ministry of Education, Danish National Research and Education Buildings, and Danish Building and Urban Research. One of the initiative’s projects has been supporting architectural competitions for school design. 4p.

http://schoolstudio.engr.wisc.edu/poe.html
Lackney, Jeffery A.
(Paper presented at the Environmental Design Research Association, EDRA 32, Edinburgh, Scotland. , Jul 05, 2001)
Over the past decade, thousands of new school buildings and renovations have been planned, designed, and constructed in the United States. Of these, only a small fraction will ever be evaluated against the educational needs of students and teachers. This paper reflects on the state of post-occupancy evaluation (POE) in the practice of educational facility design in the United States within the context of the "School Construction News/Design Share Awards 2000" program. One of the objectives of this program is to encourage and publicize nationally the value of conducting POEs. The paper provides a description and a comparative analysis of the methods used in each POE, a summary of jury comments, and recommendations for the refinement of the awards program in promoting the POE. 30p.
