COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course deals with the problems and practices by which school buildings in general, and technology education facilities in particular, are planned for construction or renovation.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Based on lectures, assignments, and field trips the student should be able to:

1. Prepare a set of educational specifications for a school technology education laboratory.
2. Understand the process of enrollment projection as a means of determining future facility requirements.
3. Evaluate spatial relationships in building construction.
4. Design an efficient laboratory facility based on material flow and student traffic patterns.
5. Identify services and responsibilities of the architect.
6. Understand the value of community impact to the planning of a new facility.
7. Identify design constraints imposed by location of utilities when considering cost factors.
8. Relate the implications of the Ohio Industrial Safety Commission and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) to the industrial technology and practical arts laboratory.
