A series of mathematical models is given for translating a college or university's educational philosophy and its operating levels into physical facility requirements. The models exhibit the required number of units of instructional facilities, by function and capacity; the number of professional faculty and graduate teaching assistants; the units…

This report outlines the steps for planning educational facilities for elementary and secondary schools. Three major steps are identified regarding the school building program, and the various phases involved in each step are analyzed in detail. Several charts and information forms for use in planning educational facilities are included. (FS)

Specifications are outlined for elementary school organization and administration, personnel, curriculum, buildings, and grounds. Organization and administration requirements are established in terms of administration assignments, secretarial services, library services, special education aide, custodial services, length of school terms, pupil…

Campus facilities for students who wish to pursue an academic degree but cannot attend the campus offering the degree present a challenge to the institution. This paper discusses the design of physical facilities after only a brief discussion of instructional techniques and passing reference to the formidable problems of transition from…

A mathematical model is developed for the expansion of facilities at different campuses of the University of California for a given sequence of enrollment forecasts. Based on total projected enrollments for the University system, the model computes a minimum total cost expansion program, i.e., the stages at which to expand existing campuses or to…

Following a discussion of what day care licensing isn't and what it is, a study of day care licensing is presented. The study's objectives were to: describe licensing requirements, state licensing procedures, and licensing steps required of applicants in each of the 50 states; identify those factors that facilitate or inhibit the day care…

Part 1 of a two-part article describes the comprehensive planning process being used in White Plains to improve the educational program as well as the facilities. (Author/MLF)

The design of vocational laboratories must reflect four major design criteria: (1) work flow and activity relationships; (2) equipment size and orientation requirements; (3) mechanical system requirements; and (4) requirements related to supervision, safety, and control. (Author)

A roofing project of any substantial size should involve an architect, an engineer, or a roof consultant. Careful planning and design, diligent construction, and quality inspection, offer owners a quality roof job. (MLF)

A roof management program protects the capital investment of a new roof. Steps to create a program are (1) assemble roof information files, (2) implement a roof inspection program with periodic inspection, and (3) establish maintenance scheduling and implementation. (MLF)

Two mutually supporting computer programs for scheduling final examinations are described. One checks quickly for conflicts in course combinations for examination times, and the other generates a complete, conflict-free exam schedule with appropriate room sizes and types. (MSE)

Outlines the components involved in more accurate long-range facilities planning. Describes the ways three school districts accomplished their facilities planning. (MD)

Five authorities discuss the advantages of school carpeting and the relative merits of carpet cushioning versus glued down carpeting. (MLF)

Hofstra University attempted to set up a laundry service and failed due to transporationn costs, lack of storage space, linen losses and inventory problems. (PG)
