In this complex era, there is an important question about school design: How can science guide us in creating regenerative, healthy spaces for learning? Creating the Regenerative School showcases a commitment to embracing new knowledge, and constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible in educational design. This book highlights examples that demonstrate that exploration, delving into the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in the quest to create sustainable, regenerative places of learning that not only adapt to change but actively contribute to the well-being of individuals and the planet. 

Case studies were evaluated on five metrics:

• Net-Zero Energy/Carbon Strategies
• Healthy, Regenerative Building Attributes
• Utilization of Evidence Based Informed Design
• Occupant Satisfaction
• Post Occupancy Data

The case studies will be supplemented will essays from leading subject matter experts addressing topics ranging from:

• Evidence Based Design
• Occupant Health
• Net Zero Energy
• Net Zero Carbon
• Designing for Resilience in the face of Climate Change
• Best Practices in Designing for Safety and Security 
• Biophilic Design
• Pathways to Advocacy

Extensive research, communications, interviews data analysis were utilized in compiling the book with the mission to share knowledge and insights that are vital to creating healthy, regenerative ECE-12 learning environments in all manner of contexts. Outcomes for each project will be profiled in the form of post occupancy data, certifications received, and client perspectives.
