EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR BUILDING
The Superintendent and his/her staff, with the help of consultants, citizen advisory groups, and the Board of Directors, shall prepare educational specifications that will be used by the architect in planning the building. Educational specifications will be formulated in such a way that they will aid and abet the teaching and learning that will take place in the building that is planned.
The educational specifications should provide the architect with an inventory of program requirements, a statement of functional program relationships, a definition of the number and character of classrooms, a description of needed specialized instructional facilities, the educational requirements for such areas as library, outside activity sites, gymnasium, cafeteria, auditorium, administrative suite, teacher and student service facilities, and public service or community service facilities, as well as any other pertinent information that will help the architect visualize what is expected of the proposed new building, building additions, or renovation.
