Rezab, Donald James – 1970
The purpose of this study was to assess the present state of building systems, to analyze projects currently being developed, and to predict future advances in systems. "Building system" is used to designate a minimum of three major subsystems designed to fit and function together without the necessity of onsite cutting or other extensive…

National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa (Ontario). Div. of Building Research. – 1968
One hundred different topics related to the technical aspects of building design and construction are discussed. The major areas of discussion are--(1) the effects of climate on building materials, (2) site and soil analysis, (3) acoustical and thermal design considerations, (4) fire and building design, (5) structural analysis and design, and (6)…

Ontario Dept. of Education, Toronto. School Planning and Building Research Section. – 1971
This report surveys various ways that physical flexibility (immediate and long term) may be incorporated into the design and construction of college buildings. Because flexibility should encompass every subsystem of construction within a building, this publication draws attention to the wide range of elements that must be considered within modular…

Nagakura, Yasuhiko; Moronuki, Mikio – 1986
When designing schools, one should assign space for athletic fields, arrange halls so that traffic will not disturb classrooms, separate grade levels, provide playgrounds exclusively for younger children, and provide lighting and ventilation. Unit plans should be designed so that all educational and domestic activities can be executed in the…

Denny, Lowell L. – Constru Prod Technol, 1970
Descriptors: Building Design, Building Systems, Classroom Design, Modular Building Design
Building Systems Information Clearinghouse, Menlo Park, CA. – 1971
This document attempts to provide a "state of the art" study of the application of building systems to construction with emphasis on educational facilities. Although directed primarily at the architect and the building team, this material can also be useful to those who contemplate using building systems. Building systems are considered part of a…

Baas, Alan M. – 1972
This paper reviews briefly the literature concerned with the use of modular components in the construction of educational facilities. Fourteen of the documents reviewed have previously been cited in RIE. The essence of the material found in the reviewed literature is organized into and discussed under the topics (1) modular components and…
