Design Considerations for Schools
#1

Natural Light - Rooms should be designed such that the Natural Day Light is sufficient and there is minimum dependency on artificial lighting. Glare must be avoided. Windows for
teaching spaces should be horizontal. 

Natural Ventilation - Ventilation should be by means of permanent wall vents and windows with opening sections. Vents should contain baffles for noise, wind and rain.

Windows should be double glazed, easy to clean and maintain,and have high and low level opening sashes. 

Windows should be positioned such that sashes must be easy to operate with natural ventilation and an adequate level of safety.

Doors should be easy to Operate. The door, frame, and opening mechanism to should be designed so as to protect against injury to fingers, etc. A glazed viewing panel in the door from all rooms to the corridors should be provided for the benefit of small children.

Acoustic conditions in schools should facilitate clear communication of speech between teacher and student, and between students without interfering with study activities.

Floor finishes must safe, hardwearing, non-slippery, chemically resistant, durable, resistant to wear & easily cleaned.  The Health and Safety implications of the selected flooring should be considered.
