Capital project evaluation framework
A Post Occupancy Evaluation Resource for Schools
This framework provides schools with an easy-to-use self-guided evaluation process for collecting data, evaluating performance, and reporting on the effectiveness of their built assets to meet their strategic intent, as projects are funded and delivered. The framework has been developed to encourage and facilitate the active participation of schools in the POE process.
The framework will be available for download mid 2025
The value of a Post Occupancy Evaluation
Ensuring a school's buildings and facilities achieve their intended educational role requires more than careful planning, good design and quality construction. It requires ongoing assessment to understand how well facilities are supporting teaching and learning objectives and the well-being of students and staff in everyday use. By adopting Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) process schools can evaluate and continuously refine their environments to ensure facilities are not only well-constructed but also responsive to evolving educational and community needs.
POE can also help identify where investments generate tangible value and help illustrate how spending on school buildings and infrastructure directly supports educational success

School leadership teams can use POE to:
- Evaluate educational impact
- Understand user experience & satisfaction
- Assess building performance
- Identify areas for improvement
- Support evidence-based decision-making
