Lo THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday August 26, 1964 FA Schools Feature Advanced Ideas School construction is rapidly becoming an advanced science as school boards, architects and contractors combine to produce the best possible space for learning. Schools today are being built to accommodate such modern teaching methods as television, electronic laboratories, teaching machines, and automated lec- ture halls. Some are built with walls that can: be moved to create new study or lecture areas, and others have such refinements as "automated" study areas with television screens and dial sys- tems tied into central stores of information, A prep school recently com- pleted a new science and mathe- matics quadrangle that features a planetarium as well as a lec- ture hall and __ laboratories. Equipment in the labs includes a complete weather station and test equipment for atomic phys- ics curricula, Students showing _ special promise are permitted to use a row of individual laboratories to work on advanced projects, and each instructor has his own pri- vate laboratory connecting to his office. Lectures are piped in from a elosed-circuit system television studio at the school to class- rooms, AUXILIARY BUILDINGS A $2,633,046 high school in Michigan features a_ 'house plan' layout that provides two separate but adjacent high high schools, eaching housing about 800 students in Grades 9 through 12, While the students spend 40 per cent to 60 per cent of their time in their own '"'house", there are also auxiliary buildings that are house cafeterias and admin- istrative offices; a gymnasium; elective courses; and* an audi- torium. Another type of layout was used for a New Mexico high school, where students have a large academic court surround- ed on three sides by twe tiers of galleries. The court is cover- ed by a large translucent plas- tic canopy. Split-level classrooms were created by an Indiana elemen- tary school by a design that per- mits use of a part of a raised central corridor for classroom activities, In California, an award-win- ning. elementary school is scaled down to the size of the children while still permitting comfort- able movement of adults. In Maine, a colorful touch was added to a school built to with- stand the rigorous winter cli- mate. Multi-hued panels on sky- lights alternate with transparent panels in a way designed to pro- vide am even. distribution of natural light. CREATES NEW WORLD A high wall of concrete block surrounds a Louisiana school lo- cated on a site in a low-income area. The wall shuts out the poor neighborhood and creates a new world of covered walks, arches and landscaped courts. The inner surface of the per- imeter wall has murals on it. Flexibility is provided im a California high school by a de- sign that uses movable parti- tions to create interior spaces. Movement: of the partitions makes possible an éasy adjust- ment to teaching needs. At the college level, one of the - most ambitious achieve- ments hag been the new School of Art and Architecture at Yale. 174 RITSON ROAD SOUTH OPEN DAILY TILLIOPM It's Back-To-School time again so Shop at Glecoff's where You get the best prices on the best food to fill up the lunch boxes. -- correct for Come in. . . before school's-in for Savage Shoes Savage combine careful designing with good work- manship and materials to produce correct-fitting, long-lasting shoes.
