35th Annual Official Education Construction Report

May 1, 2009 12:00 PM, By Joe Agron (jagron@asumag.com)

Spending on construction by the nation's education institutions increased in 2008.

Methodology: Arriving at the results

Results for the 35^th annual Official Education Construction Report were compiled via a detailed questionnaire sent to chief business officials at the nation's school districts and colleges, asking about construction completed during the past year and construction planned to be completed in the next three years.

Administrators that completed or planned construction during this timeframe were then asked to provide a variety of details on the amount being spent, the type of construction being done (new, addition or modernization), and the expected completion date. All respondents involved with new and retrofit construction were asked to provide additional information on each project. Follow-up correspondence was made to clarify some data. Responses were separated by institution type, region of the country and institution size, and projected across the education universe.
