California faces the unenviable task of building hundreds of
new schools to relieve overcrowded classrooms and serve a growing
student population. To accomplish this mission, NSBN promotes the
concept of designing smaller school facilities that can build upon
and accommodate existing
community land and facilities to save on the time, money, land,
and other resources used to duplicate functions elsewhere.
