How to select an Architect, from the "Wisconsin School News"
A school district's architect can make board members look like heroes or goats. And an architect can directly affect a school district's educational program - positively or negatively - for 50 years or more! For these reasons-and many others- there can be little doubt that selecting an archtect ranks as one of the most important decisions a school board has to make.
Before you decide what architectural firm your school district will hire, develop some decision-making criteria. Give the list to every architectural firm that will submit on your project, an tell all of them that you will use the criteria in making your decision.
