“Etude pour les constructeurs” 1950 Fernand Leger

We follow the construction spend rate of the US education industry; using the US Census Bureau Construction Spending figures released the first day of every month.  We encourage our colleagues in the education facilities industry to respond to Census Bureau-retained data gathering contractors in order to contribute to the accuracy of the report.

The Impact of E-Waste / Student Art Guide

Certain requirements must be met for recycling to be economically feasible and environmentally effective. These include an adequate source of recyclates, a system to extract those recyclates from the waste stream, a nearby factory capable of reprocessing the recyclates, and a potential demand for the recycled products. These last two requirements are often overlooked—without both an industrial market for production using the collected materials and a consumer market for the manufactured goods, recycling is incomplete and in fact only “collection”.

Today at 11 AM/E we examine the state of best practice literature – including government regulations — that apply to education communities.

Today at 15:00 UTC we drill into the technical specifics that contribute to the safety and sustainability of spaces used for the teaching, practice and display of the fine arts.  These occupancies are typically at greater risk than classrooms because they usually contain volatile fluids for artistic painting or biologic specimen preservation, kilns for pottery, fabrics and related machinery for teaching fashion design and practice.
