McGuffey, C. W. (1974).

This monograph describes the basic conceptual background, the content, and the processes for a systematized approach to the evaluation of educational facilities. The system, Model for the Evaluation of Educational Buildings (MEEB), focuses on a process that compares existing educational buildings in terms of a set of standards, and provides for an analysis in terms of the discrepancies between "what exists" and "what should be."

Both schools needed to be rebuilt after they were struck by the May 2011 tornado that devastated the Joplin community and killed 161 people.
