INTRODUCTION

This report covers the School Design Project which was our project
for the Fourth semester Design Studio Class. Before the designing of our
individual Schools, we worked together in groups and studied our given site. We
researched and gathered information relevant to our project as the part of
literature review. We also studied numerous National Schools (Pre-
schools/Primary Schools) as well as International Schools to closely analyze
already built school buildings. Hence the comparison of the standard
requirements of a building with the case study buildings gave us further
knowledge about how we should consider various factors to design an educational
building.

We then studied our given site for school designing, located at Vijaypur,
Dharan, with regard to the various factors that could impact or make a difference
in the designing of our school. Thus, this report also informs about the Design
Process with reference to the site constraints locality, environmental factors and
sustainability. It includes designing of a primary school to higher secondary
school.

Then, we did further study on what is Concept and how we can use a
concept to create an effective design in our school buildings.

After gathering all this information we began our individual design process
starting from the concept generation phase. Thus, this report was made to keep
records of all our researches that were done within this design project.

 The contents of the various research conducted for designing the school
have been divided into four parts for the easy and proper collection and
recording of data, they are as follows:-

LITERATURE REVIEW

INTRODUCTION TO LITERATURE REVIEW

A literature review, also called as literature study discusses in particular

the published information of a subject area within a certain time period. It can
either be just a simple summary of the sources or it might give a new
interpretation of old materials combined with the old interpretation. It can be
considered as a text written by someone to consider the critical points of current
knowledge including substantive findings.

School

A School is a building or an institution designed for the teaching of students

under the direction of teachers. Similarly, a primary school is a school in which

2
the children receive primary/elementary education within the age group of 5-11
years and pre-primary education within the age group 1-5.

A School is also an organized space purposed for teaching and learning,

meaning to say that school does not only refer to the building consisting of
classrooms where students study but it is as a whole the summation of various
component parts that make a functional.

These parts can be listed out as follows:-

TEACHING / LEARNING AREAS OTHER AREAS

Classrooms Staff & Administration
Laboratory Cafeteria
Libraries Storage
Multi-purpose Hall Circulation
Extra Curricular Activity rooms Ancillary Space
Computer Lab School Yard
Auditorium Athletic field
Audio/ Visual Room Teachers Staff Room
Music Room Assembly Hall

Components of School

On the basis of the qualitative and quantitative considerations made in a

design, the various components of a school can also be categorized in the
following manner:-

1) ANTHROPOMETRY

(HUMAN PROPORTION)

Anthropometry simply means "measurement of a human body". The

word ‘anthropometry’ is derived from the Greek words: - ‘anthros’ means man,
and 'metron' meaning measure. It refers to the measurement of the human
individual which measures all physical aspects of your body. Simple
measurements include height and width. Thus, it is the systematic collection and
correlation of measurements of the human body. Given below are some examples
of human dimensions.

4
 The following Figure (1) gives the dimensions of a Childs’ body along with
the necessary clearances as they do not have the same proportions as an adult
human being.

Standards"
The above figure gives the dimensions of an adult human being along with
the necessary clearances.

1) FURNITURE DIMENSIONS

There is a wide variety of furniture that can be used in the various types of
spaces in a School,for eg- benches and tables are used in classrooms and
bookshelves are used in libraries. The following table lists out the various types

5
of furnitures used according to the type of room along with their dimensions and
few examples.

 Figure 6 shows the dimensions of bookshelves of varying heights, which
may be used in a classroom or in libraries etc.

1) Other Furniture

Apart from the benches and chairs used by students in a classroom there
are many other furniture that are also important in a school such as bookshelves,
security lockers, cupboards and counters used in science labs and libraries etc.

1) Playground furniture

Not only the classroom designing, but the designing of various spaces
existing in a school such as the playground is also important. Thus using sources

12
such as the Neufert, and Time Saver Standards books, various types of
playground elements were studied which are shown in the figures below.

Figure 12: Various Playground elements and their dimensions, Source- Ernst and
Peter Neufert, Architects’ Data, Third Edition
The above figures give us an example of the different types of play
elements that can be used a children’s playground.

13
1) SPACE PLANNING:-

Space Planning can be referred to the proper division and zoning of the
various spaces existing inside the school premises. There are certain
considerations to be made and pre-requisites to be followed in order to properly
design a school. They are as given below.

Some basic design considerations to be made for planning the spaces in

a school for the given requirements are as follows:-

School Entrance and External Circulation

The access to the site should be prominent, easy to find and clearly
visible.

Visitors should be able to find the reception area without difficulty.

Space and Area Requirements

Programmed (Teaching Area) = 60 %

Classrooms

Laboratories

Workshops

Library

Non-Programmed (Non-Teaching Areas) = 40%

Staff and administration accomodation:- 5m x 4m < 500 students

Toilets ratio :- 1:19, 1 W/c per 19 students, 2 urinals per 1 W/c

Catering facilities:- Dining, kitchen, store, pantry, canteen, etc.

Ancillary spaces:- Storage for maintenance, cleaners, papers, etc.

14
 Circulations and partitions:- corridors, stairs, foyers, etc.

Teacher Student Ratio

20 children of 3-5 years = 1 Teacher + 1Part time

50 children of 5-8 years = 2 Teachers

40 children = 1 Teacher + 1 Floating Teacher

1 teacher = 34 children

2 teachers = 68 children

3 teachers = 102 children

children

19
 According to a source found during the research on designing of a classroom
keeping in mind a child’s psychology and requirements, it was concluded that the
classrooms need not only be a place for teaching the children in a strict manner
but can also be designed in such a way that a child can plkay as well as study in
a classroom designed in such an interesting manner as shown in the figures below.

1) Psychological Considerations

Psychological considerations refer to the state of a childs mind or the

impacts on a child created by the surrounding environment he/she is in. The
architectural design of any space can directly or indirectly make an impact on the
child’s mind in various ways, some of which are explained below.

24
1) Child Psychology

Require a Homelike and colorful environment

Maximum use of safe materials (Plastic, timber etc)

ORANGE EXCITEMENT, HAPPINESS, COMFORT, -SOFTER TONES ARE
BEST FOR BABIES
YELLOW MAKES KIDS CRY
GREEN REFRESHING
BLUE PROMOTES BABIES REST, PEACEFUL, CALM
NEUTRAL GOOD NURSERY CHOICE, RELAXING
BLACK DEPRESSING

1) Other Design Considerations

As an educational instiotution it is very important to provide proper light

and ventilation systems in a room which is used by a certain number of
population. Designing a room which does not meet this requirement may result
in the discomfort and inadequacy of proper facilities required for a child’s

25
 proper develeopment which is also the purpose of a school design. The light
and ventilation inside the room is directly proportional to the area of window.

1) LIGHTING

Light reflectance value

For floor= 20 – 30 %

For wall = 40 - 60 %

For furniture = 40 – 50 %

Primary teaching wall = 45 – 50 %

300 lux on per working area

The figure below shows an example of windows designed to allow

ventilation as well as light.inside the room.

Building Orientation

Figure
In addition to complementing the overall features of the site and
satisfying the requirements

of access and spatial relationships between buildings the arrangement of the

houses on the site plan should have an orientation based on the path of the sun.
This allows to produce a design that gives the optimum levels of sunlight in
specific parts of the dwelling at certain times of the day.

The following table gives us an idea on how to design the orientation of various
living spaces required in a residential school.

Sustainability Factors and Green Design Features

Green Design refers to the design of some parts or the whole of a building
taking into account the factors that help to reduce the negative impacts of the
building on its natural surrounding environment or that make use of techniques
that maximize the energy efficiency of a building. Energy efficient buildings an
be defined as buildings that are designed to provide a significant reduction of the

29
energy need for heating and cooling, independently of the energy and of the
equipments that will be chosen to heat or cool the building.

This can be achieved through the following elements:

bioclimatic architecture: shape and orientation of the building, solar

protections, passive solar systems

high performing building envelope: thorough insulation, high

performing glazing and windows, air-sealed construction, avoidance of
thermal bridges

high performance controlled ventilation: mechanical insulation, heat

recovery

Only when the building has been designed to minimise the energy loss, it
makes sense to start looking at the energy source (including renewable energy)
and at the heating and cooling equipments.

Green design features of a building can be listed out as following the idea of
Green roof,
Solid waste management,
Ground water recharge,
Rainwater harvesting etc.

Green roof

A green roof or living roof is a roof of a building that is partially or

completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium, planted over
a waterproofing membrane. It may also include additional layers such as a root
barrier and drainage and irrigation systems. Rooftop ponds are another form of
green roofs which are used to treat greywater.

Green roofs serve several purposes for a building, such as

absorbing rainwater, providing insulation, creating a habitat for wildlife,

30
increasing benevolence and decreasing stress of the people around the roof by
providing a more aesthetically pleasing landscape, and helping to lower urban
air temperatures and mitigate the heat island effect.

Figure 30:- Example of a Green Roof building

Figure 31:- Nanyang Technical University, Singapore, Source –

Inhabitat.com

There are two types of green roofs: intensive roofs, which are thicker, with
a minimum depth of 12.8 cm, and can support a wider variety of plants but are
heavier and require more maintenance, and extensive roofs, which are shallow,
ranging in depth from 2 cm to 12.7 cm, lighter than intensive green roofs, and
require minimal maintenance.

31
Figure 32:- Green Roof System

Figure 33:- Various Layers of aGreen Roof System

Rainwater Harvesting

32
 Rainwater harvesting is the process in which rainwater is collected when it
falls on the earth, stored and utilized at a later point. For eg, it can be purified to
make it into drinking water, used for daily applications and even utilized in large
scale industries. In short, Rainwater harvesting is a process or technique of
collecting, filtering, storing and using rainwater for irrigation and for various
other purposes.

The best thing about rainwater is that it is free from pollutants as well as
salts, minerals, and other natural and man-made contaminants. In areas where
there is excess rainfall, the surplus rainwater can be used to recharge ground water
through artificial recharge techniques.

The process of rainwater harvesting can be clearly explained through the

following diagrams:

Figure 34:- Rainwater Harvesting Process

33
 Figure 35:- Detail explanation of Rainwater harvesting process

Ground Water Recharge

Groundwater recharge or deep drainage or deep percolation is

a hydrologic process where water moves downward from surface
water to groundwater. This process usually occurs in the vadose zone below
plant roots and is often expressed as a flux to the water table surface. Recharge
occurs both naturally (through the water cycle) and through anthropogenic
processes (i.e., "artificial groundwater recharge"), where rainwater and
or reclaimed water is routed to the subsurface.

34
 Figure 36:- Natural Ground water recharge process
Processes

Groundwater is recharged naturally by rain and to a smaller extent by

surface water (rivers and lakes). Recharge may be impeded somewhat by human
activities including paving, development, or logging. These activities can result
in loss of topsoil resulting in reduced water infiltration, enhanced surface
runoff and reduction in recharge. Use of groundwater, especially for irrigation,
may also lower the water tables. Groundwater recharge is an important process
for sustainable groundwater management, since the volume-rate abstracted from
an aquifer in the long term should be less than or equal to the volume-rate that is
recharged.
Recharge can help move excess salts that accumulate in the root zone to
deeper soil layers, or into the groundwater system. Tree roots increase
water saturation into groundwater reducing water runoff. Flooding temporarily
increases river bed permeability by moving clay soils downstream, and this
increases aquifer recharge.
