Jurney, Douglas M. – School Business Affairs, 1979
A preengineered building has the advantages of factory production and computerized quality control. Insulation efficiency and a roofing system that enables the entire roof membrane to react a full two inches to any temperature-induced movement are two of the innovations of preengineered building research. (Author/MLF)

Department of Education and Science, London (England). – 1968
The coordination of the building components of educational facilities is discussed. The resulting components will be used for a wide range of building types in addition to schools and the recommendation should therefore be seen as part of a widespread move toward establishing a national British 'pool' of dimensionally related components. The two…

Kohn, Sherwood – 1970
Structural, functional and design features are described for the Montessori School building of Stamford, Connecticut. Emphasis is given to the utilization of a precast concrete building system and the flexibility of the early learning center spaces. The report is heavily illustrated with photographs. (FS)

Halsall, R. – 1969
The history, advantages, and disadvantages of component building systems are discussed. Application of the scientific method to the building industry forecasts the use of prefabrication and on-site erection of factory-made subsystems of buildings. Educational facilities in the United States, Canada, and England have made use of many different…

Department of Education and Science, London (England). – 1964
Increasing pressure on the building industry and competition for its resources has caused many authorities to make more extensive use of factory-made components for their school building projects in both conventional and system building. A common dimensional controlling discipline has been developed to aid architects and administrators in school…
