School Building Surveying: A Support Tool for School Building Registry Office

On the national territory, the school building situation appears patchy, with very different situations in several respects, the most important of which is related to structural safety, to possessing the correct certification for fire prevention or hygiene. In fact, many schools were built before the 1970s and require very costly interventions; not only that, but in the meantime, teaching has changed, and it is not always possible or convenient to intervene on these buildings. From the ongoing dialogue with the Department of Education, Educational Policies and School Building of ANCI and with theDepartment of School Education of Legambiente, what emerges is the importance of substantiating the survey on the quality of school buildings, now in its 19th edition, continues to show a clear gap between north and south of our country. School Building Registry Office, through the portal of Ministry of Education, University and Research, started a transparency operation on the data concerning the health state of school buildings present on the national territory. However, it is necessary to define an effective control system and a decision-making process for the identification of priorities. This paper presents a due diligence tool developed with the aim of supporting the School Building Registry Office in the collection and processing of data.
