Abstract
THE importance of space and facility requirements for elementary and secondary schools has been minimized, to some extent, in the planning phase of schoolhouse construction. This aspect of planning needs to be studied constantly in order that the optimum advantages may be derived from the educational environment of our remodeled or new school buildings. The requirements of space and facilities vary with curriculums, but there are certain features among the activities within the different types of schools which are amenable to standardization. Due to the somewhat unspecialized nature of the work conducted within the elementary school, the treatment of the problem of interior space and facility requirements in the elementary school is quite general in this chapter. This is in contrast to the more specific nature of the information advanced in treating the specialized requirements of the secondary school. This approach to the subject of space and facility requirements for both the elementary and secondary school is in no way inconsistent inasmuch as the specialized requirements of the secondaryand elementary-school buildings are similar in many respects. Pertinent information on the size, dimensions, and facility requirements for the various activities of the elementary and secondary school have been reviewed. The proximity of these areas has been treated so that an overview of the more recent trends in space relationships can be shown. Illustrations of functional layouts for these areas provide the application of sizes and dimensions recommended.
