Facilities Matter—The Salk Institute

“In the 1950s, Dr. Jonas Salk was working on a cure for ... polio in a dark and gloomy basement laboratory in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Progress was slow and to clear his thoughts, Salk departed for Assisi, Italy, where he spent time in a 13th-century monastery, ambling amongst its pilasters and secluded courtyards. Unexpectedly, Salk found himself inundated with new perceptions, including the one that would lead to the discovery of his successful polio vaccine (Anthes, 2009). He strongly believed that his inspiration had come from the contemplative setting inspired by the architecture in

• Assisi. (emphasis added)

Wikipedia.org

“Salk directed Kahn (the architect) to create spacious, unobstructed laboratory spaces that could be adapted to the ever-changing needs of

• science. The building materials had to be simple,

strong, durable, and as maintenance-free as possible”.

Learning Outcomes

– Gain an understanding of how the built environment supports student achievement and staff recruitment, retention and satisfaction – What are the features of a high quality school facility. – See how the design of schools has changed – How can educators and parents help influence the design and redesign of schools

“There has been a slow but steady increase of research on the impact of public school facilities on educational achievement and community

rigor of the research.”

THE RESEARCH— ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Improving a school’s “Overall Compliance Rating” to meet health and safety standards can lead to a 36-point increase in California Academic Performance Index scores.

Buckley, Schneider, Shang, 2004

Students who receive instruction in buildings with good environmental conditions can earn test scores that are 5-17 percent higher than scores for students in substandard buildings.

Earthman, 2002

THE RESEARCH— Acoustics and Noise

Many studies have shown that speech intelligibility affects student learning

• utcomes. Student reading performance at

schools in the regular flight path up to 20% lower in reading tests compared to children in another nearby school that was not in the flight path

Evans and Maxwell, 1997

Several studies looked at background noise level and speech intelligibility and its effect

THE RESEARCH— ATTENDANCE, SUSPENSION AND EXPULSIONS

Poor quality facilities related to higher suspension rates (2- 9%), lower attendance rates in middle and high school (2-3%),

Boes and Shaw, 2005:

In schools with poor facilities students attended less days on average and had lower grades

THE RESEARCH— TEACHER RETENTION

Survey of 835 teachers in DC Public Schools: Approximately 5% more likely to stay in a building in "A" condition vs. "F" condition

Buckely, Schneider and Shang, 2005:

A number of factors are predictors of teacher turnover including large class size and facilities

THE RESEARCH-- DAYLIGHTING

Studies indicate that student performance is improved by an even distribution of daylight, an expansive view, and limited glare and thermal heat gain. One study found 20 percent faster student progress on math and 26 percent faster progress in reading compared with students in classrooms with less exposure to daylight.
