Book Description
Evidence has accumulated that shows that the quality of indoor environments can affect the health and productivity of adults and children. One consequence is that a movement has emerged to promote the design of schools that have fewer adverse environmental effects. To examine the potential of such design for improving education, several private organizations asked the NRC to review and assess the health and productivity benefits of green schools. This report provides an analysis of the complexity of making such a determination; and an assessment of the potential human health and performance benefits of improvements in the building envelope, indoor air quality, lighting, and acoustical quality. The report also presents an assessment of the overall building condition and student achievement, and offers an analysis of and recommendations for planning and maintaining green schools including research considerations.

This path breaking book describes in detail the nature and dimensions of education's dramatic reversal and the reasons behind it. It examines the new role of strategic planning and the resulting changes in the role of professors, trustees, and college presidents. It describes how colleges and universities can introduce the latest planning and management methods for their own benefit.
