PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Architecture for Humanity is partnering with NCB Capital to create a step-by-step guide for charter schools seeking to integrate green elements into their school facilities. The guide will be a supplement to NCB’s charter school guide, The Answer Key: How to Plan, Develop, and Finance Your Charter School Facility.
The project is part of a comprehensive initiative led by NCB Capital Impact to ensure that charter schools have every opportunity to take part in the green revolution. The focus is on assisting charter schools serving low-income communities because they suffer disproportionately from polluted environments and have limited access to resources. For charter schools to operate quality schools in healthy, cost-effective buildings, they need access to affordable green technical assistance and financing options.
This publication will provide charter schools with tailored tools, budgets, and available resources on green development and facility upgrades. The document will be web-based and hosted on the Open Architecture Network.
