In addition to their public display, all of this year's entries have been entered in IASB's School Design Data File, a service developed by IASB and the Service Associates for use by member school districts and their architectural firms. The file is a detailed computer database of nearly 350 projects dating back to 1995.
The database is available to school officials and their architects as a repository for ideas and insights into current school design. Information provided by the designing architect can be searched using a wide variety of variables including location, type and purpose of the building, design features, size and grade levels served.
Requests for searches can contact the IASB Communications Department at 217/528-9688, ext. 1105, or by e-mailing your query to jnelson@iasb.com.
