AIA Issues Statement on School Safety

AIA has issued a release, "Where We Stand: School Design and Student Safety," on their ongoing commitment to school safety. They plan to dedicate resources and expertise through leading efforts at the local, state and federal levels of government to update school design guidelines; supporting collaborative and continuing education to achieve safe school design; striving to make safe school design eligible for federal grants; and establishing a federal clearinghouse on school design. 

Click HERE to read more about how AIA plans to dedicate their resources and expertise.

As part of this commitment to school safety, AIA and its members are launching a variety of initiatives to help address violence in schools through design (read more about these initiatives). They will focus on two goals:

1. Making architectural and design services for schools an allowable use of funds within existing federal funding and grants; and
2. Establishing a federal clearinghouse of resources on school design best practices for school officials, architects and other design professionals to keep them informed.
