Future Ready Facilities Master Planning & Ed Specs: An Interactive Web-Based Format

ABSTRACT: 

For the past 25 years, districts have been working to transform outdated facilities to provide students and teachers with learning environments to support future ready learning thus empowering students to learn in different modalities simultaneously. This workshop will unveil techniques for a holistic planning process in which all stakeholders contribute meaningfully to the shaping of Master Plans and Educational Specifications. At Culver City Unified School District, this process led to the creation of fully interactive, web-based, digital master plans and Ed Specs linked to them which reflected their ethos and vision. The case study of CCUSD’s new web-based Master Plans and Ed Specs will illustrate how to create a truly living document that allows unprecedented access to easily digestible content which has historically resided in binders on a shelf in the Facilities Office.
