Design Matters: How School Environment Affects Children.

Hebert, Elizabeth A.

Educational Leadership, v56 n1 p69-70 Sep 1998

Built in 1971, Crow Island School, in Winnetka, Illinois, is a prize-winning facility that has provided generations of children with windowed classrooms, skylights, adjacent workrooms, courtyard access, and spacious hallways.
