Lackney, Jeffery A.; Moore, Gary T. – 1994
This paper describes findings of a study that integrated design patterns to illustrate prototypical school designs. The present work is part of a more comprehensive study conducted on the impact of school facilities on educational performance. The paper focuses on the third part of the study, which developed 27 design patterns to create integrated…

Improvement of Elementary School Deisgns Through Simulation of Educational Activities. Final Report.
Bregar, William S. – 1973
A method was developed for doing a computer simulation of elementary school activities for different school organizations, with traditional and multiunit schools being observed for significant factors relating to the use of space. Analysis of the collected data showed that group size varied significantly as a function of school program and…
