With school enrollments fluctuating, educational administrators need to do a more thorough job of planning for future educational facilities. Educational specifications can provide a helpful planning foundation for the educator and the architect. The specifications should provide specific objectives that consider the teaching/learning process to take place in the facility, the size of the student body to be housed, social and academic backgrounds of students, necessary media facilities, and potential community use of the facility. The development of educational specifications should be done by an educator, and it should involve and reflect the needs of the board of education, administrators, teachers, students, and the community. Once the educational specifications have been developed for a facility, there should be continuous evaluation of the architectural drawings to see that the specifications are being met. (Author/JG)
