| Abstract: |
This report provides a survey of existing policies and procedures for Massachusetts school planning and construction processes; and explains systems building as a set of procedures, the most important of which procedures are market aggregation and component prebidding. The importance of systems building in reducing construction costs and improving school facilities in Massachusetts is also discussed. The study recommends the creation of a Statewide corporation to oversee and finance school construction throughout the State while insuring continued local participation in educational planning and design.
