THIRD FLOOR

On the third floor will be found: five recitation rooms, physics laboratory, chemistry laboratory, lecture room, bookkeeping room, stenography room, music room, art room, rest room for men teachers, and office for high school societies. Boys' and girls' toilets are found on each floor.

3. What changes would you recommend in the physical education layout based on the program you propose?

4. Compare the locker facilities for boys and girls. What changes would you recommend?

5. Should the school board yield to the community demand for maximum seating capacity for school basketball games? Discuss the elements involved.

6. What results have been secured from the kind of physical education program you propose? What evidence is available? 7. Comment on the natural lighting and the location of the gymnasium.

8. Are the accessory spaces well located with reference to the gymnasium floors? If not, what criticisms have you?

9. Determine the acreage of this site. Is it sufficient? Is it too large? Explain.

10. As superintendent of schools, what would be the recommendation which you would like to see the Board of Education adopt?

PROBLEM 80

PLANNING THE BIOLOGY FACILITIES FOR A HIGH

SCHOOL

Problem: A high school to accommodate 600 students is being planned in Eaton, N. K. The science instructors have been asked to coöperate in the planning of the science rooms.

These instructors have submitted Diagram 1 as the layout for the biology classes.

Assignment

1. As superintendent of schools, what questions would you raise concerning this layout?

2. What type of layout would you propose and defend? 3. What would the equipment in the layout cost?

4. Can economies be effected?

5. Bearing in mind that every reduction in the cubature of construction is desirable, what savings can you propose?

PROBLEM 81

EQUIPMENT OF A COOKING LABORATORY

Problem: Superintendent Mason, in the city of Peabody, N. K., has been having a series of conferences with his teaching staff and his architect in the planning of a new high school building to accommodate 1,200 boys and girls. It has been decided to place a cooking laboratory in this building to care for the cooking courses for the girls of the ninth and tenth grades. What should be the size of this cooking laboratory and what should be its equipment?

In Diagram 1 will be found the final layout of this cooking laboratory as it has been proposed by the superintendent as a result of his conferences. The equipment consists of two parts, unit kitchen equipment and range and table equipment.

Assignment

1. What are the faults of this equipment, as planned? 2. Is too much space being given to this laboratory? 3. What sizes of classes can be taught in such laboratories? 4. What is the advantage of the unit kitchen over the other type of equipment suggested in this layout?

5. Are storage facilities adequate?

6. Is the dining room an essential part of this equipment? 7. At a cost of 35 cents per public foot, estimate the cost of this room.

8. If you were to change this equipment in any way, what are the suggestions which you would make?

9. What are the disadvantages of having the cooking laboratory in the main school building, as contrasted with its location in a separate household arts structure?
