PROBLEM 27

THE FINAL SET OF PRELIMINARY SKETCHES FOR A NEW SCHOOL BUILDING

Problem: The Board of Education of Dermond, N. K., has authorized the architect to develop plans for a new community school to house children from the kindergarten through the senior year of high school. The superintendent and the architect have spent considerable time in discussing the needs of the school system. The architect has presented plans from time to time which have been corrected by consultation with the superintendent and Board members. At last night's Board meeting, the architect presented his final preliminary sketches and asked for authorization to proceed with his working drawings. What are the obligations which the Board of Education assumes in authorizing this step?

Dermond is a rapidly growing community, due to the development of three industries which have started recently an important reconstruction of their plants in this community. The population is fluctuating greatly at present on account of poor housing of educational facilities. The industrial companies will pay about 60 per cent of the taxes in the school district, and they are highly interested in the establishment of proper housing facilities for the families having representatives engaged in their plants. These companies have also indicated their desire to develop superior community conditions, and have contributed to the erection of community buildings of various kinds.

The school building for which the architect is submitting plans will be located upon a site consisting of approximately 13 acres of land, part of which has been donated to the community by one of the industrial companies. The building will be adjacent to playground and athletic fields which will also be available for full community use.
