The District Administration Office is one of more than 21 district facilities that will be evaluated as part of this study.
"By evaluating demographic characteristics of individual neighborhoods, we can make better decisions about some of these schools whose neighborhoods have all but disappeared," said Vern McKissick.
McKissick Associates is a family-owned firm providing architectural and design services with specialization in educational facility design & planning, historic preservation and sustainable "green" design.

McKissick Associates has been retained by the Scranton School District to provide master planning and demographic analysis in the Lackawanna County school district.
The project will involve preparation to update conditions and conducting a curriculum assessment of more than two million square feet of space housing the Scranton School District's 15,000 pupils in grades K-12. According to Vern L. McKissick, III, AIA, the study effort will particularly emphasize reconfiguration, replacement or realignment of the District's thirteen elementary schools.
"Our firm will utilize its proven Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies to analyze current and future growth patterns in the City of Scranton as they affect attendance areas for each school," McKissick explained. "McKissick Associates' efforts are intended to re-shape the direction of the District's proposed $60 million building program."
McKissick Associates' GIS technology was also recently retained for a similar study in the Elizabethtown School District where the entire district will be mapped to determine district growth and future needs. The Scranton project will be the first comprehensive study of its type in the northeastern Pennsylvania metropolitan area that has a population of 625,000.
