Based on data obtained in earlier phases of a comprehensive planning study, this report presents--(1) the development of a space projection model responsive to unique institutional requirements, and (2) a forecast of the aggregate academic space needs of higher education in Indiana for a given future enrollment level. The scope of the study and a…

Present school plant problems of the Monroe County School system in Florida are reported in this document. The survey which revealed these problems also stimulated projection of building needs through 1970-71. Factors taken into consideration were school size, temporary buildings, portable buildings, pupil stations, desirable pupil capacity,…

A review is presented of the assistance program from 1946 to 1965 for local school districts in Mississippi. School district program needs were determined by a citizen's council, a legislature study committee, an educational finance committee and a legislative report in public education. These groups examined existing school plant facilities and…

This document relates specifically to the problem of requesting, justifying, and receiving state general funds and construction bond dollars as required by the 13 community colleges in Oregon. The problem is to determine a method of distribution of state general fund dollars and construction bond dollars that will meet the currently projected…

Examines the options available to colleges and universities needing to modernize their science facilities, many of which were built in the late 1950s and the 1960s. Looks at science building designs common to that era and the nature of modernization problems, and considers four possible courses of action: minor renovations; extensive renovations;…

The construction of new schools is a complex task requiring a great deal of executive direction that is most successfully attained if the executive function resides permanently in one individual. Data were collected through observation of schools in 6 school districts (photographs and films); document analysis (newspapers and other media, and…

This handbook suggests safety guidelines for public playground equipment and describes various surfaces used under the equipment and possible injuries resulting from falls. The handbook is intended for use mainly by manufacturers, installers, school and park officials, and others interested in technical criteria for public playground equipment.…

GUIDELINES WERE ESTABLISHED TO ASSIST IN THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF ADEQUATE FACILITIES FOR SHORT-TERM RESEARCH GRANT PROGRAMS. FUNCTIONAL CRITERIA WERRE DEVELOPED FROM THE ANALYSES OF COST STUDIES AND A SURGE SPACE STUDY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. ALTERNATIVES WERE SUGGESTED FOR THE PROVISION, PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS, SITE LOCATION,…

IN ORDER TO DEVELOP A PHYSICAL PLANT PROGRAM WHICH WOULD REMEDY THE PRESENT DEFICIENCIES OF THE EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AT WILSON COLLEGE AND SIMULTANEOUSLY INDICATE THE IMPLICATIONS OF HIGHER ENROLLMENT LEVELS, A PLANNING PROJECT USING A CONSULTANT FIRM WAS INSTITUTED. THE AREAS OF INVESTIGATION PRESENTED IN THE ANALYSIS WERE AS FOLLOWS--(1)…

THIS PAPER IS A REPORT ON A RESEARCH PROJECT UNDERTAKEN TO DEVELOP A COMPUTER PROGRAM WHICH WOULD PROVIDE PERIOD-BY-PERIOD ESTIMATES OF FUTURE LAND, BUILDING, AND STAFF REQUIREMENTS UNDER VARIOUS ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE CHARACTER OF THE STUDENT BODY, EDUCATIONAL POLICIES, LEVEL OF RESEARCH ACTIVITY, LEVEL OF SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY, AND CHARACTER…

CASE STUDIES OF CAMPUS PLANNING AND INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN TEN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION WERE COMPILED DURING THE DECADE OF 1950-1959.

This discussion of fire research emphasizes test procedures and architectural element performance. Measurement and simulation of fire conditions establish "fire load" specifications, structural influences, and corridor surface lining data. Topics studied include--(1) fire endurance of building elements, (2) material flammability, (3)…

Ventilation systems for factory safety demand careful planning. The increased heat loads and new processes of industry have introduced complex ventilation problems in--(1) ventilation supply, (2) duct work design, (3) space requirements, (4) hood face velocities, (5) discharge stacks, and (6) building eddies. This article describes and diagrams…
