Earthman and Carol S. Cash  \nABSTRACT  \nMany school systems in the United States face the prospect of renovating existing buildings rather than constructing new facilities because of budgetary limitations and constraints. The least disruption to the educational process when a building is scheduled for renovation is to move the student body to a vacant building. This option is not available to the vast majority of school systems and the student body must remain in the building while the renovation takes place. Students are moved from space to space in the building as renovation takes place. Obviously the renovation process is a disruption to the educational process. Some research substantiates this assertion (Maxwell, 1996). She found that the student achievement scores dropped during the period of renovation in both the third and sixth grade mathematics and reading scores. The student scores increased when the students returned to newly renovated buildings. There is some recent research, however, that indicates student performance during the renovation process is not as disrupted as previously thought. Mayo (2010), Norman (2014), and Thompson (2014) investigated the influence a renovation had upon student achievement while enrolled in a building during a renovation. They compared student scores during three time periods –pre-renovation, during the renovation and post renovation. All of the researchers found there was no significant difference in student scores during all three phases of the renovation process. Additional research (Wheeler, 2014) suggests that teachers may be doing something to keep student performance at a high level during a disruption of the educational program. In Wheeler’s study of teacher reaction to such a disruption, teachers suggested that close collaboration, focusing upon the necessary elements of the curriculum, increased use of technology, and collaboration of faculty to provide resources for alternative activities in the classroom might help keep students on task and perform better. Such activates on the part of the faculty might ease the disruption of a renovation and maintain student progress.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nSchool systems throughout the United States face the need to renovate existing buildings that have reached the age when improvements to the building are needed. The National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) estimated that 53% of all school buildings in the country need major repairs, renovation, or modernization (Alexander & Lewis, 2014) . This includes the renovation of the major systems of the school building such as HVAC, Lighting, Electrical, and Plumbing systems. Improvements in all of these systems are normally included in a renovation or modernization project.  \nThe NCES also stated that the average number of years since the construction of the main instructional building in the local school system is 44 years (Alexander & Lewis, 2014) . This means that many of the school buildings are in that stage of life where major improvements are needed. During the lifetime of these buildings many have not had a major renovation, which makes these buildings more of a concern to educators.  \nEven as school buildings age, the buildings apparently serve a vibrant community containing a significant student population. Thus these schools are needed in the community to accommodate the student population. The alternative of constructing new facilities or finding different educational spaces is apparently not open to school authorities.  \nIn addition, the condition of these school buildings is such that they need some sort of renovation or modernization. A school building that is of this age would most certainly be a prime example of a building in need of major improvement. Aging schools normally do not contain the building elements necessary for a proper learning physical environment to serve today’s students (Earthman, 2013) .
