Abstract:

New schools buildings have evolved along with urban sprawl, adopting a shopping mall format of a large building, over a thousand students, and a large parking lot, all sitting on forty acres. Educators and parents feel such schools have a different effect on students than smaller neighborhood ones. Harmon contrasts Raleigh's Underwood School, built in 1926 on Glenwood Avenue, with McDougle School, built in 1996 near Carrboro.
