Educational Specifications



The Educational Specifications are intended for use as a planning guide by architects and others responsible for developing physical facilities of the School District. The general concept embodied in the specifications is to provide general and adequate details for proposed spaces related to the construction, renovation or remodeling of a school plant site, while leaving ample flexibility for creativity and options in designs by the architects. Educational specifications prepared for a facility shall include, but not be limited to, the following: Philosophy and Goals; Facility List by Area; General Considerations; General Security Considerations; Site Development; Traffic Control; Facility Space Summary; and Student Projected Population as provided in the District's Five (5) Year Plan.
Specifications for the various program areas for the facility shall include a common listing of informational categories within each of the program areas. Specific information relative to each particular program area for the facility will be included under various headings as follows: Program Philosophy; Program Goals; Program Activities; Organizational Nomenclature; Innovations, Experimental Ideas, Other Planned Uses; Justification for Variance from SREF requirements; Program Facilities List; Program Furniture and Equipment; Special Consideration; and Spatial Relationships.
