SCHOOL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

THE SCHOOL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

The School Design Philosophy embodies the important principles to be addressed in school design and development. The objective is: To develop the school into a physical environment that is conducive to learning and play, one that provides one that serves as the platform for the child to aspire towards his goal. stimuli for the childs mental and physical growth, and

1.1

The objective can be translated in the form of efficient provisions or in the form of interesting design. In whatever form, the objective should foster in the designer the need to: Know the User Examine the Function Encourage Flexibility Ensure Maintainability Respond to the Climate Understand the Site

2.0 2.1

The User Understanding the profile and needs of the user, with respect to the following, is important in any building design. The user is defined by the following terms: Age group primary, secondary or junior college students Gender all-girls, all-boys or co-educational History as a school, whether it has an established past or an identity Specialty whether the school has niche areas or offers special programmes in art, music, life sciences etc Population small capacity, big capacity, single or doublesession Disability needs full handicapped, basic handicapped, visual handicapped etc.

2.2

While the Age Group and Population will affect the scale of the building and building image. The other factors also help to determine other special

components, the other four factors may contribute towards architectural language provisions required by the school.

1.1-2

SCHOOL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

One aspect of function that school designs ought to achieve is spatial efficiency. Spaces must be planned with clearly assigned functions. The operations within the room and the need for particular operations must be addressed and well-catered

3.2

The school ought to also be efficient in its use of resources such as water and energy. Double-volume air conditioning of facilities should be avoided. Corridors and walkways ought to be sufficiently daylit to minimize dependence on artificial lighting. Lux levels provided are to be suitable for rooms of different usages. Excessive water features, like fountains, are discouraged, in view of the need to conserve water and electricity consumption.

3.3

User safety and comfort is another essential component of functional design. User comfort encompasses factors such as general acoustic treatment, vision care and good ventilation, while user safety includes easy supervision, easy movement, good ergonomics and careful detailing.

3.4

Another crucial function of school design is to provide stimulus for the childs creative development and encourage his appreciation of nature and the outdoors.

4.0 4.1

Flexibility In designing the learning environment, there must be a conscious effort by architects to keep up with the dynamic changes in teaching pedagogy. Flexibility would prepare the school organization to adjust to new conditions and demands.

4.2

It has been widely acknowledged that one important consideration to addressing such dynamics is through employing flexibility in design.

4.3

Some ways to achieve flexibility would be to ensure sufficient space and to demarcate appropriate plots for expansion; to cater for multi-purpose and multisize usage of rooms and to encourage sharing of facilities and integrated learning.

SCHOOL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Maintainability It is necessary to ensure durability and hardiness of areas that are prone to weathering, wear and tear and vandalism. This aspect of maintainability should be roofing, metal and ironmongery, carpentry or sanitary fittings, among others. captured in the technical specifications and drawings for all types of works, such as

5.2

It is also critical to ensure that the design and assembly of all building and spatial components cater for easy access for maintenance, cleaning, repair and replacement. This would include discouraging the extensive use of certain

materials, e.g. glass; or discouraging certain building design, e.g. curved roofs, curved structures; and avoiding certain building elements, e.g. roof gutters which can cause ponding and lead to mosquito breeding.

5.3

The cost effectiveness of the design component, as seen from its life period, also needs to be considered.

6.0 6.1

The Climate It is important for architects designing schools to consider Singapores tropical climate, especially since 85% of the schools built-up areas are naturally ventilated.

6.2

Some of the ways to address the heat and humidity of the tropical climate include: To orientate the front elevation of the buildings in the Northtransmission devices South direction to minimize direct solar light and heat To provide effective roof overhangs to function as sunshading To introduce more balconies, single loaded corridors cross ventilation

VOL.

1.1-4

SCHOOL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

The site bears topographical features (land form and levels) and a physical

boundary (shape, orientation, frontage). The site also has critical relationship with its neighbours (surrounding buildings, traffic conditions and other users). These serve as pointers that can be used to establish the following:

7.1

Zoning within the site whether the buildings grouped together have compatible uses where the quieter facilities should be located compared with the surrounding where the noisier activities should be housed

7.2

How the buildings should be laid out in terms of massing and height whether the arrangement obstructs the neighbouring building whether it blends in with the general surrounding whether it affects areas reserved for future expansion

7.3

The appropriate location of green spaces and covered spaces

7.4

The orientation of the building blocks in relation to the climate

Conclusion The encapsulation of all the above as a set of design philosophy serves to guide all parties in the process of planning, detailing, choice of architectural style and image for the school building. adequate facilities to meet educational needs in the best possible way.

Overview of the Flexible School Infrastructure (FLEX SI)

1.1

The FlexSI Concept The Flexible School Infrastructure (FlexSI) was conceptualised to allow our school leaders more autonomy on the design of their schools, and to create flexible learning spaces and facilities that are sufficiently adaptable in order to support new pedagogies that will better engage our students in learning.

1.2

Objective The new framework will allow primary and secondary schools to design their building infrastructure so that it is sufficiently flexible to adapt to varying as schools embark on new developments in pedagogy. Design Concepts for Functional Flexibility The FlexSI framework proposes for school infrastructure to be designed to achieve the following: a) b) c) Modular Flexibility for Classroom Sizes / Dimensions Facilities with Adaptable Multiple Usages Design of External Areas as Learning Spaces classroom capacities, multiple functionalities and cater for future expansions

However, there will be some trade-offs in installing foldable walls for this flexibility (compared cost, durability and noise insulation. b) Another possibility is to use mobile partition screens within the classroom space. The screens can be moved around to form enclosures for small group discussions, for independent learning. c) or to isolate students who need to take private tests; or

Facilities with Adaptable Multiple Usages

2.4

Schools wanting to use a facility for multiple functions can consider the use of flexible mechanisms with features such as folding, sliding, tilting and rotating to enhance the facilitys flexibility in space, lighting, display and storage capabilities. Furniture and equipment that can be stacked, modified or wheeled can also be incorporated so that the room can be used for multiple functions such as training, projects, quizzes and competitions. One possibility is to have mobile canteen tables so that they can be folded and wheeled away, making the Appendix 2 for examples. canteen space available for group or other activities. See

FlexSI proposals that would result in significant recurrent costs are to be carefully considered and schools have to ensure their sustainability within their existing recurrent votes. E.g. the provision of air-conditioning to facilities to make them possible for multiple usages would incur substantial running costs.

3.12

Designs under the FlexSI concept must not be ostentatious and any aesthetic embellishments to the intended proposal must be excluded.

FlexSI Design Provisions The design provisions details the various facilities to be provided under FlexSI and what the school can decide on in the design of their schools. It consists of 4 main groups as listed below: a) b) c) Group 1 - Essential Area Group 2 - School White Area (SWA) Group 3 - FAVE Space (Flexible, Adaptable and VErsatile) d) Group 4 - Others

4.1

The Essential Area lists the basic essential facilities that the school

must have to fulfil its basic instructional capabilities. The facilities are provided to address basic teaching and learning pedagogical requirements. It places minimum limits on the size and number of units of each facility.

The FAVE concept makes use of excess areas that can be aggregated to become useful spaces, and which can remain flexible and available for future expansion needs that the school might not yet envisage. FAVE Spaces can be identified from the schools circulation areas.

FAVE Space (Group 3)

SITE PLANNING

2.7

Site Orientation The site configuration with respect to its orientation is

important. A site with good orientation enables the buildings, particularly the classroom block(s), to be located in the correct orientation, i.e. with the longer facade facing the North-South direction. This is to minimise the penetration of sunlight and thus solar heat into the building. Deviations from the desired orientation should be addressed in the building design.

Minimise the penetration of sunlight

2.8

Setback & Spacing Requirements When planning the layout of the various blocks of the school, certain minimum setback distances from the site boundary and clearances between blocks have to be observed. This is to provide the school with buffers against noise and distractions (from adjacent traffic or from neighbouring facilities). As the school building is largely naturally-ventilated, these setbacks help to create good cross ventilation within the site.

2.9

Zoning & Facilities Layout The placement of certain types of facilities in relation to other

types and the proximity between them usually take into account the functions and operational requirements of those facilities. They affect the spatial flow within the school and influence the conduct of the activities. For e.g. the Canteen placed next to the Parade Square of Field enables the smooth spillover of mass providing a safe and more comfortable accommodation for the students. Schools have areas that need to be secured and accesses to certain facilities need to be restricted.

Objective of Vision Care in Facility Planning

4.2

From the technical viewpoint, the desired vision care objective is to provide for a comfortable level of lighting for the various purposes that may be required during teaching and learning.

At the same time, it is to moderate the intensity of direct light coming from light sources and to minimize the glare that may be reflected off the working surfaces. 4.3

Facilities should hence be designed to take into account the

full range of lighting needs of the activities conducted within them. The environmental impact of light on the facility, e.g. sunshades, as well as the vision care implications on these objectives. the amount of daylight, the solar orientation and the design of activities, must also be evaluated in order to achieve the

CLASSROOM CONFIGURATIONS

APPENDIX 1. EXAMPLES OF POSSIBLE CLASSROOM CONFIGURATIONS


1 Day to Day (Immediate) Flexibility Full height operable partitions can be used to reconfigure a space within a short time span of perhaps 10 to 15 minutes. Additionally, mobile furniture and equipment (F & E) which can be easily shifted within a facility as well as from room to room can be used. Thus both teachers and students will be able to quickly configure a space to suit their requirements. 2 Medium Term Flexibility Compared to solid walls, dry wall partitions will take a shorter time to remove (about 3 days) when a reconfiguration of space is required. 3 Sample Configuration 1:

Sliding Folding Partition

Lecture style teaching can be conducted when partition is opened

Dry wall partition reconfigured into resource areas

In this illustration, both degrees of flexibility have been incorporated: The sliding folding partition allows 2 classrooms to be combined into 1 large teaching on a day-to-day need basis, simply by opening the sliding folding partition in between. On the other hand, for the purpose of medium term flexibility, for e.g. when classroom. The enlarged classroom space can be used for lecture-style

This flexibility allows the Hall to be utilized for multiple functions. for other activities. However, as shown in the photo on the right, when there is need for

A school can opt to divide Canteen space into several Canteen areas distributed

throughout the school. For example, the school can have a smaller Canteen and another caf-style eating area near the library. Alternatively, the school can transform some of its smaller yet open common spaces into the snack bars. These satellite eating spaces provide venues for student interaction and can be used as learning areas outside their

classrooms. When required for other purposes, the chairs and tables can be moved aside.

FOREWORD
The Ministry of Education has invested a great deal of resources into

developing its school buildings. Many existing schools have seen their needs and expectations of school educators and students alike.

facilities enlarged, renovated or rebuilt to purposefully fulfil the varying

Today, the design direction for schools is towards innovative, adaptable learning, it is an inarguable fact that the schools serve as important

and flexible learning environments. Being centres of teaching and models of inspiration for our young. Schools physical environments, at the same time, serve as the platforms which facilitate their intellectual and physical growth. Thus, it is of concern that our schools be built to be conducive, efficient and easily maintainable.

The collaborative efforts of educators and designers will continue to be helpful in creating desirable spaces to nurture our young. Improvements that are responsive to the changing pedagogical styles will continue to be expected of our school buildings. To assist schools and designers in their tasks, Research & Procurement Branch (RPM) conducted a review of the School Design Handbook and put together existing good practices as well as fresh ideas on school design into this new 2006 edition.

As we resume our journey forward in school design and in garnering

even more learning points, it is hoped that the information herein would help facility planners to design learning environments that will be meaningful and enriching to both educators and students.

INTRODUCTION

The information found in this Volume is a compilation of data describing the major provisions and particular specifications for each of the

Planning Parameters The overall facility provisions were computed based on the following planning scenario: School operating on a 4:2 session model

Having a max. enrolment of 1440 students (critical session) 2.2 In designing the provisions for each type of facility, the above planning parameters must be taken into account, unless otherwise stated. How to use this Volume Each facility is represented by a datasheet which lays down the recommended provisions as well as the critical requirements of the facility. A sample layout of the facility is also provided to show how the space within the facility could be configured. 3.2 The recommended provisions and sample layouts shown in the datasheets are to be used only as a guide by Consultants who are designing the facility.

3.0 3.1

3.3

As certain facilities may require revisions to their size and/or unit numbers or

other details due to the schools specific programmes, Consultants are required to seek the schools and MOEs advice as to the relevancy of the information to the project. Should any deviation from the specifications be necessary, the Consultant shall advise the school or MOE on the extent of it and the implications, if any, accordingly.

The list of facilities is as tabulated in the Primary School and Secondary Schools Facilities Tables. (Refer to Vol. 1

- Chapters 4.7 & 4.8 of the School Design Handbook).

FOREWORD
The Ministry of Education has invested a great deal of resources into

developing its school buildings. Many existing schools have seen their needs and expectations of school educators and students alike.

facilities enlarged, renovated or rebuilt to purposefully fulfil the varying

Today, the design direction for schools is towards innovative, adaptable learning, it is an inarguable fact that the schools serve as important

and flexible learning environments. Being centres of teaching and models of inspiration for our young. Schools physical environments, at the same time, serve as the platforms which facilitate their intellectual and physical growth. Thus, it is of concern that our schools be built to be conducive, efficient and easily maintainable.

The collaborative efforts of educators and designers will continue to be helpful in creating desirable spaces to nurture our young. Improvements that are responsive to the changing pedagogical styles will continue to be expected of our school buildings. To assist schools and designers in their tasks, Research & Procurement Branch (RPM) conducted a review of the School Design Handbook and put together existing good practices as well as fresh ideas on school design into this new 2006 edition.

As we resume our journey forward in school design and in garnering

even more learning points, it is hoped that the information herein would help facility planners to design learning environments that will be meaningful and enriching to both educators and students.

INTRODUCTION

The information found in this Volume is a compilation of data describing the major provisions and particular specifications for each of the

Planning Parameters The overall facility provisions were computed based on the following planning scenario: School operating on a single-session model

Having a max. enrolment of 1520 students (critical session) 2.2 In designing the provisions for each type of facility, the above planning parameters must be taken into account, unless otherwise stated. How to use this Volume Each facility is represented by a datasheet which lays down the recommended provisions as well as the critical requirements of the facility. A sample layout of the facility is also provided to show how the space within the facility could be configured. 3.2 The recommended provisions and sample layouts shown in the datasheets are to be used only as a guide by Consultants who are designing the facility. 3.3 As certain facilities may require revisions to their size and/or unit numbers or other details due to the schools specific programmes, Consultants are required to seek the schools and MOEs advice as to the relevancy of the information to the project. Should any deviation from the specifications be and the implications, if any, accordingly. necessary, the Consultant shall advise the school or MOE on the extent of it

FOREWORD
The Ministry of Education has invested a great deal of resources into

developing its school buildings. Many existing schools have seen their needs and expectations of school educators and students alike.

facilities enlarged, renovated or rebuilt to purposefully fulfil the varying

Today, the design direction for schools is towards innovative, adaptable learning, it is an inarguable fact that the schools serve as important

and flexible learning environments. Being centres of teaching and models of inspiration for our young. Schools physical environments, at the same time, serve as the platforms which facilitate their intellectual and physical growth. Thus, it is of concern that our schools be built to be conducive, efficient and easily maintainable.

The collaborative efforts of educators and designers will continue to be helpful in creating desirable spaces to nurture our young. Improvements that are responsive to the changing pedagogical styles will continue to be expected of our school buildings. To assist schools and designers in their tasks, Research & Procurement Branch (RPM) conducted a review of the School Design Handbook and put together existing good practices as well as fresh ideas on school design into this new 2006 edition.

As we resume our journey forward in school design and in garnering

even more learning points, it is hoped that the information herein would help facility planners to design learning environments that will be meaningful and enriching to both educators and students.
