Does the school system reuse school building designs?

Yes, as one method to limit costs, WCPSS reuses school building designs, called "prototypes." Reusing designs typically saves between $300,000 and $500,000 in design costs, while allowing for design improvements and modifications. The school system has employed this cost-saving strategy for many years, and in fact, over half of Wake's school buildings are repeated designs.
