Chan, Tak Cheung; Ledbetter, David B.

School Business Affairs, v64 n6 p36-40 Jun 1998

Uses space problems of a 15-year-old South Carolina middle school to illustrate the importance of a proper facility-design process. Planning principles such as change of space function, flexibility, accommodation of technology, structural quality, adequate supervision, and proper maintenance should be revisited. Time is a good test of design and materials durability. (10 references) (MLH)
