Provided in this section are space programs for Elementary, Middle, High, and Adult Schools. The space programs identify the square footages that are used in the proposed master plans and are used in determining area takeoffs for the cost estimates.

The purpose of the space programs provide a guideline and a basis for the master plan assumptions used in the proposed project recommendations for new construction and reconfiguration. The programs are based on an assumed school size in order to determine the recommended size of the core spaces such as the Administration, Library, Multi-Purpose Room and other student support spaces.

These programs are to be used as a guideline and may not be typical for each school. The square footages shown within the diagrams are net areas only. Circulation and support square footage factors will need to be added in to determine gross area. For more specific proposed site projects, refer to the individual schools’ proposed plans and the cost estimates. The areas in the cost estimate include circulation and support square footage factors (gross areas) calculated for the specific scheme presented in the proposed plan.

One of the main purposes of this Educational Specification document is to describe clearly and concisely the various learning activities in each space, the spatial relationships and special features to support these activities. The categories listed to the right are used to described each of the space program components.
