Abstract
Description
The state of Delaware has experienced a continuous increase in its population. As a result, there has been an upsurge in the demand for public services, including infrastructure and roadways and new school construction. The Institute for Public Administration (IPA) at the University of Delaware has been conducting an ongoing study regarding the process by which schools determine when there is a need for a new building or major capital improvement, how school sites are selected, what design standards are in place, and how construction-related issues are addressed.
