The SCA is committed to delivering designs for safe, attractive and environmentally sound public schools by consistently eliciting the highest standards of quality and performance from staff and consultants alike. Design services for capital projects funded by the Department of Education's Five-Year Capital Plan are provided by both In-House Architects and Engineers, and by consultant design firms. These professional services are provided during scope, design and construction. Design services are managed by the SCA's Architecture & Engineering Department. All capital projects must adhere to available technical standards developed by the SCA to ensure quality, cost effectiveness, constructibility and sustainability. These standards include: Design Requirements, Standard Specifications, Standard Details and Room Planning Standards. Compliance with the NYC Green Schools Guide ensures that the stringent sustainability goals of NYC Local Law 32/16 are met.
