“School construction is once again a major player in the economy of the United States. More than $14 billion worth of school construction – including new buildings – was put in place in 2014, a five percent increase over the previous year and the fourth year in a row that spending for school construction has increased.” – P. Abramson
The following table provides a profile, on a national basis, of new school in 2014. The figures shown in this table are based on reports from 80 elementary schools, 40 middle school and 112 high schools either completed in 2014 or substantially finished and scheduled to open early in 2015 (see page 23).
