Details the dramatic changes in school lighting. Describes how lighting will be more closely integrated into the "smart" school building of tomorrow and how lighting systems will evolve with schools as technology changes. Claims that direct/indirect lighting systems will serve computer users as well as reduce energy and maintenance costs. (RJM)

Discusses how modern schools require specific lighting systems to accommodate computers and other technologies. Describes special needs for direct and indirect lighting when considering visual display terminals and projectors, and the kind of lighting system best suited for distance learning. Offers ideas on classrooms' physical layout. (RJM)

This compilation is a survey of the literature pertinent to the design of lighting for educational facilities. The contents are selected to be an overview of the topic while maintaining a technical level comprehensible to the layman concerned with school planning and design. The general subject areas are--(1) the visual and lighted environment as…

The Robert Hutchings Goddard Library of Clark University is designed to provide fixed functions rather than interchangeable space with two separate but dependable structures. It conceals a three-story "box of books and provides 137,000 square feet of reading, study, and book-stack space. (WM)

New design opportunities afforded by modern high-intensity light sources, and the many ways of integrating package air-conditioners with the design of buildings, are discussed. A guide to unitary air-conditioners and heat pumps is included. (RK)

This bibliography has been produced as part of a research program attempting to develop a new approach to building environment and service systems design using computer-aided design techniques. As such it not only classifies available literature on the service systems themselves, but also contains sections on the application of computers and…

Various factors of the classroom environment that can contribute to a more complete learning atmosphere are explored. The author presents a review of certain research findings that may serve as guidelines in the development of an environmentally coordinated classroom. The importance of providing a classroom which promotes a multisensory approach…

Performance criteria for the physical facilities of universities are reviewed to establish an understanding of the principles, policies and requirements that form the basis for an organized approach to building and site planning, development, design and construction. Guidelines are given emphasizing the designer's responsibility to analyze the…
