Indian Standard RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS 0.

FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 27 February 1978, after the draft finalized by the Functional Requirements in Buildings Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 0.2 As a student moves from nursery to higher levels, the process of imparting education becomes more and more involved. This demands addition of a number of facilities to the basic class room unit depending At present, in the absence of any upon the level and nature of the school. uniform standards, there is marked variation in the educational facilities between various schools. Again in view of the changes in educational pattern as well as teaching aids adopted, it is necessary to introduce the relevant requirements in a national standard. The standard is, therefore, intended to lay down optimum requirements for school buildings, subject however to local conditions. 0.3 The purpose of this standard is not to offer design solutions for an educational facility but to lay down standards for both spatial and environmental needs of the basic class room and allied spaces. 0.4 The standard is also recommended for the renovation facilities of the existing school buildings. 0.5 The standard changing
