EDUCATIONAL CONSULTING Purpose

In order to state the needs of an educational institution and to relate a facility more closely to the
educational program, communities, schools, and colleges increasingly use an educational consultant as a
primary member of the planning team. A school planning project, whether for a new building or for a
master plan for an institution, should be used not only to construct a good facility but to provide a
setting for effective restudy of educational programs and to allow a time for examining new perspectives
of learning. With close personal contact between a consultant with wide experience and a faculty that
must search its collective soul before the concrete is poured, a prime time is created for real in-service
education. The operative word is real.
