(RALEIGH) -- The National Association of REALTORS (NAR) along with the REALTOR Foundation of the Triangle provided a total of $2,000 to Heritage Middle School, winner of the Annual School of the Future.  Four separate awards, totaling $2,000 were donated to the school.

 

The National Association of REALTORS' Annual School of the Future encourages students to work in teams to plan and design schools that will improve the learning environment and the facility's energy efficiency, be sensitive to the environment and an integral part of the surrounding community.

 

Each student team is required to submit a project model made from recycled materials, a presentation and narrative description of the planning process and rationale behind project. Finalists, including Heritage Middle School, received a trip to Washington, D.C. to present their project to the national design jury. The School of the Future Design Competition is part of School Building Week sponsored by NAR and the Council of Educational Facility Planners International, and more than 35 other associations and private companies.

 

Heritage Middle School won First Place in the Southeast Region and a check for $500 from NAR and $500 from the REALTOR Foundation of the Triangle.  After they received the National Award of Merit, another check for $1,000 was issued from NAR as well as $1,000 from the Foundation.

 

The National Association of REALTORS encourages children to look to the future by considering the environment in their future plans. NAR built the first "Green" office building in the District of Columbia in 2006.
