Does the school system build multi-story schools?
CategoriesDepartment |
Yes, WCPSS builds multi-story schools, where appropriate, as another money-saving measure. Due to rapid development within the county and the scarcity of open land, the school system will continue developing plans for multi-story buildings on limited sites. There are some restrictions, however, because building codes require all kindergarten and first-grade students be housed on the ground floor and have direct exits to the outdoors from all spaces they use, including classrooms, media centers and cafeterias. Due to these restrictions, some elementary schools are one-story buildings or have one-story wings.
