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.
