PREFACE This revised document has been updated to include recent legislative changes. The State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF) is written for a wide range of users--the superintendents in the small school districts who manage all district programs, including facilities; individuals involved in multiple aspects of facilities programs in the large school districts; Florida colleges;1 universities; and individuals in the private sector. SREF is organized by the sequence of steps required in the facilities processes and covers definition of terms, property acquisition/disposal, finance, lease and lease-purchase, historic buildings, program development, professional services, inspection services, design standards and inspection standards.
1The Constitution of the State of Florida identifies the state's public education agencies as public school districts, community college districts and the state university system; various Florida Statutes use the terms "Florida colleges," "community college," and "junior college" for postsecondary institutions that are not universities. Chapter 2011-5, Laws of Florida, substitutes the term "Florida College System institution" for the terms "Florida college," "community college," and "junior college" where those terms appear in the Florida K-20 Education Code." In order to be consistent with the legislative mandate, all SREF references will use the term "Florida colleges" when referring to the "Florida College System institutions," which refers to the postsecondary schools commonly known as community colleges.
