BuildBPS: Facilities and Educational Data for Boston Public Schools

BuildBPS compiles vast amounts of data and allows for ongoing analyses that can be used to guide and inform decisions related to school building investments. An assessment team of architects and educational planners visited all of Boston Public Schools’ buildings, collecting and organizing information on the physical condition of each building and their educational suitability to the programs offered within. Beyond the general information about each school building, the data is organized in the following four categories: Facility Assessment– Building, Facility Assessment–Site, Educational Facility Effectiveness: Learning Environments, and Educational Facility Effectiveness: Spaces. This dataset will be updated on a yearly basis to reflect changes as renovations and upgrades occur.
