K., a sixth junior high school building has been proposed by the educational authorities. Rapid progress has been made in the development of the junior high school in this city. Considerable standardization has been secured in the planning of the necessary buildings. It is desired that the sixth building be superior to all the others. The basement, first floor, second floor, and third floor plans are reproduced in Diagrams 1, 2, 3, and 4. The room spaces are designated according to use, and in many instances the space sizes are designated. Assignment 1. Estimate the capacity of this building. What are the factors determining the optimum enrollment in such building? 2. What are the distinctive advantages of this plan? 3. What are your criticisms of the general layout? 4. Using the room numbers as given on the plans, make a complete study of the plan indicating all criticisms which you would offer. 5. Can the educational advantages be made available in this building which, according to junior high school authorities, are desirable? 6. Can the stairway provisions be improved? 7. Be critical with respect to the location and characteristics of the administrative quarters. 8. How could the unfinished rooms in the basement be used? 9. Compare the cost of the "bicycle" facilities provided with other possible arrangements. |
