 DESIGN
GUIDELINES
A well-designed school building improves student
performance and creates a lasting impression on
the community about the value of education. It
accomplishes this by taking into account
ergonomics, anthropometries, thermal comfort,
illumination, ventilation, acoustics, color, and
compliance with regulations.
