New Report Names Top States for K-12 School Design and Construction

Design and construction firms on both coasts will be happy to see the results of ZweigWhite's “2005-2008 K-12 School Market for Design & Construction Firms” report. The study reveals that California and Florida have two of the fastest-growing K-12 construction markets. California has the largest K-12 enrollment in the United States, and in 2004 the state passed a school bond measure that includes $10 billion for repairing, modernizing, and building K-12 schools. By the year 2010, a class-size cap in Florida will increase the need for additional facilities. However, markets in other states also begin to look good when percentage enrollment increases are considered.
