Case Study: DC Public Schools

READ

In 2018, Andrea Swiatocha, facilities manager at DC Public Schools (DCPS), worked with DCPS leadership to implement the use of the LEED Health Process pilot credit (Integrative Process for Health Promotion) to guide school modernization projects throughout the DCPS portfolio. By applying the health process at a portfolio scale, DCPS was able to identify and work with members of their internal Facilities, Health Services, Health & P.E., and Food & Nutrition teams to promote student, staff, and community population health through the design, construction, and operations of multiple schools undergoing modernization.

This case study describes the initial four schools impacted by this portfolio-wide commitment to health promotion.
