I Data Essential to Preliminary Sketches of New School Buildings For Use by Architects, School Boards and School Superintendents The Strayer, Engelhardt and Hart Schoolhousing Series has been planned for the purpose of assisting Boards of Education in securing for their communities school houses which meet modem schoolhousing standa.rds. The series includes forms which will operate to compel the recognition of modern standards in schoolhousing and which will provide for their incorporation into new building construction. Some of the forms which are included in this Series can be used by architects, and others will be used by state as well as local school au- thorities. Forms I to V have been developed through the co-operation of architects, school authorities and national organizations which have been interested in the development of high grade school buildings. Form I permits of the collection of all data essential to preliminary sketches. By using this form, school authorities can, with a minimmn of effort and a maximum of certainty, render a complete clear-cut statement of any program they wish to present to architects. Architects can on the other hand, with the information gathered together in this form, sol^e the building problem submitted by school authorities with a positive assm-ance that their plans will meet with a minimum of suggested change and criticism. School administrators can, with the aid of this form, present to their Boards of Education for discussion a definite statement of any building problem. Under Item 51 of this Form are included the names of all of the rooms which have been provided for school purposes within the past ten year period. This Ust wiQ permit school authorities to give to architects at the very beginning their selection of rooms for which the architect must provide in his planning. The other contents of this form concern the general information which an architect should have with respect to the proposed school building and the conditions under which it is to be constructed. The requirements as to type and class of construction may also be checked. . The school authorities also present in this form specific information concerning the educational demands upon the building and other requirements which' they deem important.

H Developed by FRANK W. HART The Strayer, Engelhardt and Hart Schoolhousing Series has been prepared with the purpose of assisting Boards of Education and architects in the planning and building of school houses. The series consists of a number of forms which are adapted to the various stages of the planning and building of school houses. Form No. II has been so arranged as to permit architect and School Board to discuss and make a record of all of the data which are essential to the final plans and specifications which the architect prepares. On this form may be recorded the materials to be used in the various parts of construction; the details of con- struction and the arrangement affecting educational utiUty; facts involving the school program; and the natm-e and extent of the community service to be rendered by the proposed building. Form No. II may be used after the architect has been employed by the School Board. In conference between the School Board and the employed architect, this form will suggest every important item which should be considered and discussed and tentatively agreed upon by both parties concerned. The form also provides a convenient means for recording these tentative agreements and any other essential data. When the items which are listed in the form have once been considered by the architect and the School Board, it will be found that this form wiU reduce to a minimiim the number of conferences, discussions and inquiries con- cerning the building. It is quite clear that this form, when used in conference as outKned above, will obviate misunderstandings and will eliminate the frequent redrafting of plans. The data which are recorded in this form are of mutual concern to both the architect and the owner, and are considered essential to the preparation of the final plans and specifications. No part of this memorandum shall, however, be considered to constitute a contract or to be binding to either party further than obligating each to a maximum of effort to solve the problems which arise in the most satisfactory manner. MEMORANDUM Prepared in conference between: (name of architect or firm) (address) and (name of school authorities) (address) (date) SUBJECT School Building to be erected at.. INSTRUCTIONS. 1. The use of this form presupposes that Form No. I (Data essential to preliminary sketches) has been filled out and is in the hands of the employed architect. If such is not the case, then Form No. I should be fiUed out in conference before Form No. II is taken up. 2. In the Ught of educational utility, relative cost and general desirability, discuss each of the following items that have to do with the building in question and record tentative agreements thereon. 3. Duphcate copies should be made out, one to be retained by the owner and one by the architect. Inquiry, correspondence and the like will thereby be faciUtated. 1.

COPYRIGHT. 1920 BV FflEO «, WILLIAMS ARCHITECT'S FORM NO. HI. Checking Chart and Score Card for School Building Plans and Specifications Designed especially for use by State School Authorities in checking plans of school buildings submitted by architects employed by Boards of EducatiQn The Strayer, Engelhardt and Hart Schoolhousing Series has been planned for the purpose of assisting Boards of Education in securing for their communities school houses which meet modern schoolhousing standards. Form No. Ill is an expansion and adaptation of the Strayer-Engelhardt Score Card for City School Build- ings. This form provides school authorities, state, county or local, with a convenient and scientific standard for checking and scoring plans submitted for their approval. It makes possible a clear-cut business-like criticism of such plans, and points out alterations or corrections. Form No. Ill may be made of especial value to state school building departments. It should be utiHzed by such departments in checking the plans of architects. The report made by the state department to the architect should be in the detailed form made possible by Form No. III. Architects will gladly welcome this type of detailed criticism, for only through such a detailed checking can school buildings be secured which will insure a maximum of educational utility. It should be borne in mind that all code references given in the checking chart are to "The State School Building Code" by F. W. Hart, pubUshed by C. F. WilUams & Son, Inc., Albany, N. Y. The checking column marked "rejected" and "accepted" explain themselves. The state authority or the checking authority wiP indicate here the changes desirable on the plans submitted. Columns 4, '5, and 6 are reserved for scoring the plans on the basis employed in the Strayer-Engelhardt Score Card for City School Buildings. This score card arbitrarily selects 1,000 points as its basis for perfection. In other words, 1,000 points are taken as the score or measure of a city school building which embodies all desirable elements. The authorities who score the school building plans submitted by architects will score in terms of 1,000 points for the entire building. The scores, however, are allotted on the various elements, indicated in Column 4, into which the school build- ng problem has been divided. In scoring in Column 4, judges must bear in mind that each score should be given in the light of the standards which have been set up in the Hart "State School Building Code." The final score for the building plans will appear on Page 40. School building plans that rate in the es- timate of the judges at less than 850 to 900 points should be very thoroughly revised before actual construction is begun. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS for (Building) at m (Street) (City) Submitted by (Name of architect or firm) ta ., (School authorities) on (Date) INSTRUCTIONS. In reviewing plans and specifications refer each item listed in column (1) to the Standard School Building Code.* The numbers listed in column (2) refer to the section numbers in the Code. In the hght of the stand- ards check in column (3) each item as "accepted" or "rejected." Having thus completed the checking proceed to score by allotting in column (4) opposite each possible score that proportion of the possible score to which in your judgment the item is entitled. The totals for the major letter items (A, B,.C, etc.) are secured by adding the scores allotted to each item appearing under them. The sums are placed in column (5) opposite the possible scores. The totals for the Roman numeral divisions (I, II, III, etc.) are secured in a similar manner from column (5) and recorded in column (6): The grand total of column (6) is the score of the plans and specifications. * The Standard School Building Code, by F.

IV Developed by FRANK W. HART STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANS OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS. The Strayer, Engelhardt and Hart Schoolhousing Series, consisting of five foims, has been prepared with the purpose of assisting Boards of Education and Architects in the planning and building of school houses. Form No. IV is a composite of the opinion of more than one hundred architects and educational adminis- trators of what should be incorporated in a set of school building plans. Its use will standardize procedure and facihtate the drafting and checking of plans. Such standardization will be invaluable, both to Architects and School Authorities. A copy of this form should be submitted by the local School Board to the Architect or Architects who are invited to submit preliminary sketches. It will serve to indicate to the Architect the standard of performance that will be expected of him in case he is elected. It should further be embodied in the contract between the board and the Architect, thereby insuring a high standard of professional service and a clear basis upon which bids for construction may be made. Adherence to these standards should increase the accuracy and relia- bility of construction bids and thereby obviate frequent rejection of all bids and the consequent readvertising. It will also operate to prevent frequent omissions in the original contracts that prove so expensive to the school authorities. SUBMITTED BY (name of school authorities) (address) TO (architect or firm) (address) (date) SUBJECT Proposed School Building at Street SPECIFICATIONS AS TO FORM AND CONTENT OF FINAL PLANS. The final plans and working drawing for the proposed school building located at (street) (city) (state) shall conform to the standards and requirements embodied in this memorandum. The contract to be entered into between the School Board of; .... . . (city or district) and the Architect chosen or elected to plan the above building shall include the requirements herein specified.
