PROBLEM 84

INDUSTRIAL ARTS SHOPS

Problem: In the city of Olsen, N. K., a new high school building has been built, The shops included in this building were the woodworking shop, forge room, lathe room, and mechanical drawing room. These were located in the basement.

The floor plans and a reproduction of a photograph of the building as it appears on the site are shown in Diagrams 1, 2, and 3 and Illustration I. The high school is a four-year high school with a comprehensive curriculum intended to meet the varying needs of students. The city is an industrial community.

Assignment

1. As superintendent of schools responsible for the planning of a high school building, what steps would you take to determine the sizes of spaces for the industrial arts shops?

2. Do these shops require as much natural lighting as classrooms? Is a basement which is as far below ground as indicated in this elevation a satisfactory location?

3. Assuming that the cost of construction of this building is approximately 35 cents a cubic foot, is it a good administrative policy to include the shops in the main structure?

4. Do you consider it desirable to teach the shop work under conditions which imitate the local industrial situation? If so, how would you plan these shops?

5. Discuss the desirability of including a forge room among the shops.

6. What is meant by a lathe room?

7. If you were planning the industrial arts shops for this school, what changes would you make in the provisions included in this building? Give the reasons for these changes.
