Book excerpt: Excerpt from Design for a City School Building The class room is the fundamental unit of the school-house design. In American practice it is distinguished on the one hand from the recitation room, which has only chairs or settees for the pupils and is used, as its name implies, only for reci tations (or sometimes also for lectures and dictation exercises), and on the other from the general study room, which is found more frequently in Europe than With us, and in which a number of class es, aggregating a hundred or two of pupils, spend the assigned hours of study between recitations. The normal American class room accommodates from 30 to 50 (or rarely up to 60) pupils as fixed desks. In some special or private schools the number in a class room is as low as 25; but economy of administration makes b it desirable that the number should not fall below 30 to 35, while efficiency demands that it should not greatly or often ex esed 40. Each pupil has a desk, and the total floor area should not be less than 18 square feet per pupil, with at least 216 cu bic feet as the minimum cubic volume per pupil. Twenty square feet and 260 feet, respectively, are better figures for all ex cept the lower grades attended by small children. A slightly oh long room, with the teacher's desk at one end, is the best shape. Thus for a 40-desk class room in an upper grade grammar school.

Book Synopsis Planning Secondary School Buildings (Classic Reprint) by : Nickolaus Louis Engelhardt
Download or read book Planning Secondary School Buildings (Classic Reprint) written by Nickolaus Louis Engelhardt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Planning Secondary School Buildings In this volume, the authors have endeavored to envisage the secondary school of the future. It will not be a standardized school. American communities will continue to plan and build to meet their local requirements. The school building will be planned to make the curriculum work. It will offer expanded opportunities for learning. It will serve, not a limited number of special minds, but will advance the individual interests of the various types of youth. It will make provision for learning the social arts as well as for growing in physical health and emotional stability. It will be the educational focus of its community serving youth and adults alike. It will become a superior educational and inspirational center for all American youth. This volume has been long in preparation. During three decades many of the Engelhardt students in school administration in Teachers College, Columbia University, participated in discussions and conferences, the results of which appear in these chapters. Architects, with whom the authors have been associated as educational consultants, have raised issues and offered suggestions that have been incorporated here for school building improvement. During the five year period, 1942-1947, N. L. Engelhardt, Sr., as Associate Superintendent of Schools of New York City in charge of'the Division of Housing and Business Administration, supervised the preparation of the New York City Manual of School Planning, modification of which has been included in several chapters. Scores of individuals contributed to the development of this manual. School board members and superintendents of schools and their staffs, who have frequently made valuable contributions to the planning of school buildings in association with the authors as educational consultants, will find many of their ideas incorporated here. Several sections of Volume VII, Planning Guides for San Francisco's School Buildings, prepared by the authors as a part of the twelve volume school building survey report of that city in 1948 have also been modified or expanded for inclusion in various chapters of this book. In their surveys of the school plant of cities in all parts of the United States, the authors have discovered unusually excellent characteristics of high school buildings, recording of which here has been felt worthwhile for future planners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School Buildings The popularity of "High School Buildings, Volume I," which is now practically out of print, has encouraged the compiler to present this second collection of illustrations and sketch plans of American secondary schoolhouses. Even in so short a period as six years, since the earlier book appeared, there have been large changes in American secondary education and these have been reflected accurately in the design and construction of buildings. The high school has entirely outgrown its academic limitations and traditions and has broadened its influence and its curriculum. Thus, the industrial arts and household arts are no longer "basement subjects;" the natural sciences are now taught in a way to require diversified laboratories; the physical care of students has been extended to necessitate very complete gymnasia and lunch rooms; and the movement for the "wider use" of the school plant by adults has become a fixed fact which school authorities have recognized thru better auditorium and night school facilities. The high school building of the present day is far more inclusive and complicated in the number and type of activities which it serves, and the structures illustrated in the following pages bear out this statement. A departure has been made from the earlier book in the shape of text matter. This consists of articles which appeared originally in the School Board Journal and which aroused considerable attention as statements of fundamental principles in the field of high school architecture. The hearty thanks of the compiler and publishers are hereby expressed to each of the architects and engineers represented in the book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern American School Buildings: Being a Treatise Upon, and Designs for the Construction of School Buildings The preparation of this work has been fragmentary in the extreme; the several subjects have been treated at intervals, usually wide apart, extending over a period of twenty years; they have, as a rule, been taken up at moments when the machinery of the office was practically at a standstill, or when some special problem or incident had brought forcibly to my mind the need of radical reforms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American School Building Standards The present work is offered to the public in the belief that there is still great need for the dissemination of reliable information regarding correct design and construction in public school buildings in this country, and that "every little helps." The author makes no claim of originality for most of the matter contained in the work, unless it be as regards arrangement and selection. He has drawn freely upon all the well known modern works upon the subjects treated, modifying conclusions as experience and the most recent authorities approve. The controlling motive has been to so condense and standardize the best present day practice as to produce a compact handbook for ready reference, eliminating both the historical and purely aesthetic phases of the subject, for the sake of utility. The author acknowledges help received from, and opinions influenced by, publications of The Boston Schoolhouse Commission, Mr. Edmund M. Wheelright, Prof. A. D. F. Hamlin of Columbia University, Mr. Warren R. Briggs, Mr. M. C. Huyett, Prof. Rolla C. Carpenter of Cornell University, Prof. S. H. Wood-bridge of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mr. R. Clipston Sturgis, Mr. W. B. Ittner and others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Illustrations of the Principles of Schools Architecture In 1842, George B. Emerson, Esq, in Part Second of the School and Schoolmaster, devoted a chapter to The School-house, inwhich sound and practical views Of the location, size and ventilation and warming of edifices for school purposes, are presented and illustrated by appropriate cuts. A copy of this valuable work was presented to each of the school districts in the State of New York, and each of the districts in Massachusetts. In 1846, Nathan Bishop, Esq., Superintendent of Public 'schools in the City Of Providence, published a Report on the School-houses of that city, with numerous wood-cuts illustrative of the peculiarities of the furniture and internal arrangements of the buildings devoted to each grade of school. These houses were constructed after an examination of the latest improvements which had been introduced in the School-houses of Boston, Salem, and other large cities and villages in Massachusetts, and have been much consulted by committees and build ers as models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Toward Better School Design The material for this book has been gleaned largely from three sources: (1) research findings of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station, (2) experience of the author as a practitioner, and (3) experience of leading architects and educators whose great contributions made this book possible. The book offers no total solu tions or complete plans. These were intentionally left out. Solutions are relatively unimportant because they apply to only a few situations. What is important is a methodology to be applied in each planning situation to make every new school a better school. The readers will note that this book has not been organized into grade grouping classifications such as elementary schools and high schools. But is there really a difference in the approach to planning elementary schools and high schools? The author's experience has been that there is no difference between planning problems on the two levels which is important enough to require a distinction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Book of Designs for School Houses, and Suggestions as to Obtaining Plans, and How to Heat and Ventilate School Buildings And here comes in the place where School Boards, unless they consult a competent architect, are certain to get misled in determining what heating apparatus they will use, for remember I have explained that to ventilate successfully requires a large volume of warm air. It is seldom that a fur nace can be found that will furnish this air in sufficient quan tity to both heat and ventilate. A heating engineer may pro vide just the amount of heat and volume of air to heat the room to the proper temperature, and still twice this amount may, and probably will, be necessary to heat and venti late the room, for however well the rooms may be provided with ventilating apparatus, they will not ventilate if they do not have capacity to furnish the requisite quantity of warm air and keep it passing through the room in a proper manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Town and Country School Buildings: A Collection of Plans and Designs for Schools of Various Sizes, Graded and Ungraded, With Descriptions of Construction, of Sanitary Arrangements, Light, Heat, and Ventilation To prevent surface water, rains, and melting snow from accumu lating under and around a building it is necessary that the surface of the ground should slope rapidly away from it in all directions. In a small, if not in a large way, every school-house should be set on a hill, not only that its light may shine, but that the children's feet may be dry. If they must choose between clean hands and dry feet, let them have the dry feet. In a level country where there are no natural hills, a hill must be made. It is not a serious fault to set a building upon stone or wooden posts if close economy requires it, leaving the space underneath entirely open. The most obvious objections to this are the ugly appearance of the building perched upon stilts, and the diffi culty of keeping warm in cold weather. It will also be necessary to protect the ground underneath from the marble-pits and other earth-works of the small boys, by a paving of concrete, bricks, or cobble-stones. It would be more satisfactory to set a strong wooden lattice between the posts, which may be rough and cheap, but should be very substantial, and put together with screws in stead of nails.
