Public K-12 school infrastructure in the United States received a D+ on ASCE's 2017 Infrastructure Report Card. This poor performance is a significant issue for communities on a daily basis, but it particularly affects periods of special need, such as when natural disasters strike. School buildings are often used as emergency shelters during or after natural disasters, and buildings that can function optimally before, during, and after these events are important for communities' long-term health and resilience. Examples of school districts striving to make their schools multifunctional can be found around the country. |
