For those districts that require a more complete analysis, TASA offers Comprehensive School Facility Studies. Before a district can effectively estimate facility needs, a program of space utilization must be developed. This is just as important for renovation projects as for new buildings. TASA consultants can serve as expert facilitators in working with district staff and community groups in the development of an overall strategic plan that examines and aligns the building needs of the district. Knowledgeable and thorough preplanning is essential when developing special facilities.
TASA consultants are prepared to bring together the proper expertise to ensure a successful project.
