Master Planning Your Facilities:
Identifying the Need,
Planting the Seed
U
ndertaking a district-wide facilities mas-
ter plan is often an overwhelming task for
public school districts. I know, I’ve been in
your shoes. Before I joined DLR Group I served
as Director of Facilities and Plant Planning, and
I personally led capital projects, facility master
planning, and facility operations and mainte-
nance at multiple school districts in Minnesota.
