Building Schools With Multiple Purposes

What was once an effort by a few Johnny Appleseeds in the planning world to marry school and community resources has recently exploded into a full-scale movement to plan and build schools with multiple purposes. And the collaboration does not stop with schools: City police stations, abandoned public buildings, even state parking garages serve as great resources for local communities looking for innovative, cost-effective solutions for a variety of needs, from athletic facilities to public markets to public health centers.
