School Facilities Condition Inventory

During the December 2005 Special Session, the legislature appropriated funds to conduct a facilities condition inventory.  This study is administered by Architecture and Engineering Division of the Department of Administration in two phases.

Phase 1 is a brief survey completed by each school district in 2006.  The survey asked for basic information on the school buildings in each district.  This information has been compiled and will be used as baseline data for Phase 2.

Phase 2, beginning December 2007, is an on-site assessment of all K-12 school facilities and their associated support structures in Montana.  These assessments will be conducted at each school site by the DLR Group in addition to various local architecture and engineering firms. 

The final report of Phase II assessment results will be presented to the State Legislature by June 30, 2008, and copies will be available to all school districts.
