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.

Accessibility - Design spaces to meet the specific needs of students, teachers, and administrative staff
with disabilities.
Design for future flexibility, which enables spaces to be easily modified.

Aesthetics - The importance of the physical appearance of a public school should not be minimized. A
school building that is attractive and responds to and is consistent with the design and context of the
neighborhood, builds a sense of pride and ownership among students, teachers, and the community. The
exterior should complement the neighborhood and reflect the community's values. The interior should
enhance the learning process.

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

Flexibility - Flexible facilities offer small school communities more ways to support their unique
educational programs, especially over time. School themes, curricula, enrollments, etc. will most likely
change over time to reflect the changing needs and interests of students, teachers, and communities.

Privacy -  It is good to have an independent access to each class.

resources efficiently.
