TEACHER SURVEY

FUNCTIONALNEEDS

"Rooms should be more common areas that are open and accessible. Then testing areas that can be set aside when quiet is required. Look at how businesses are developing workspaces for collaboration."

"The best thing a facility could do is create an office-type area per subject group so that teachers are more compelled to collaborate while working during prep time and before/after school."

"Space for collaboration or space for cross curricular projects."
