Firstfloor K-12 Solutions Releases White Paper Titled “Some Children Are Still Left Behind”

RALEIGH, N.C. – Robbie Ferris, president and CEO of Firstfloor K-12 Solutions, LLC (www.firstfloor.biz) and SFL+a Architects (www.sfla.biz), has announced the firm’s formal release of a white paper addressing the local, regional and nationwide need for sustainable, adaptable and cost-effective public school facilities. The paper, authored by Ferris, is intended to serve as an informational guide for those involved in the critical decision-making effort of when and how to replace aging, deteriorating K-12 public school buildings. Ferris addresses the sub-par conditions in many of today’s schools and poses high-performance, multiple-use, green educational facilities as a formidable solution. The proposed solution is environmentally friendly, as well as drastically cost-effective through capital lease financing, in which both the developer and school system are responsible for the building costs.

The white paper is now available for download at www.sfla-architects.com/Content/Uploads/sfla/News/Some%20Children%20are%20Still%20Left%20Behind.pdf.

“We are pleased to announce the formal release of our white paper focused on creating high-performance, sustainable K-12 educational buildings,” said Ferris. “This paper demonstrates our firms’ continued commitment to championing the best interests of schools systems, students and faculty, regardless of their size or location.”
