New School Buildings
Colorado is leading the way in the movement to build high performance schools, often called “green” schools. The people and legislature of Colorado believe that all new schools should be built to the highest standards. Our students, faculty and staff deserve schools that are:
- Healthy
- Comfortable
- Energy efficient
- Reduce operating costs
- Conserve water and important natural resources
- Improve student performance and teacher retention
