School Planning and Management, 2015
In a sense, flooring grounds school building designs — pun intended.
Put another way, “flooring is used as a design element. And it’s an important design element.” That’s the view of Mt. Lebanon (Pa.) School District’s Cissy Bowman, the district’s communications director. Bowman and Rick Marciniak, the district project manager, recently led School Planning & Management on a tour of the renovated and expanded Mt. Lebanon High School complex. A $109-million project, slated for completion in December 2015, is unifying and rejuvenating this building, which has had various sections added since it opened in 1928. The LEED equivalent result will provide an efficient, technologically advanced learning environment, district officials point out.
