"The Quality of School Facilities and their Maintenance": This report by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs (BMUK) on the quality of school buildings, facility management and maintenance is available here. The report summarises an international conference held in September 1998 in Austria. The 60 participants -- school building users, decision-makers and representatives from the building sector -- shared experiences from their countries and examined the influence of the built environment on student performance.
