FEA – EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS

The educational specifications will include:

  1. A description of the needs of persons to use the facility;

  2. The kinds of educational activities to be provided in the facility;

  3. The appropriate kinds and amounts of furniture and equipment needed;

  4. The consideration of location of facilities with regard to the educational and administrative needs (e.g., band room and library; playing fields and locker rooms; front office and general school control; and student traffic patterns);

  5. Special site considerations for esthetics, vehicle traffic patterns, cooperative community use, and the like;

  6. Required standards of construction to assure that the facility is readily accessible to and usable by handicapped persons;

  7. Any other kinds of unique information that will give guidance to an architect in developing facility plans.
