  • Abstract:
    [From the Introduction] This study attempted to: 1. Determine those minimum legal requirements that, in the opinion of the people concerned, tended to hinder, impede, or restrict the design and construction of public school buildings. 2. Determine the extent to which recommendations and directives, in the opinion of the people concerned, tended to hinder, impede, or restrict the design and construction of public school buildings. 3. Identify those agencies, as determined by the respondents, which had jurisdiction over public school design and construction. 4. Determine whether or not, in the opinion of the respondents, local interests received any special consideration. 5. Compare legal requirements with recommendations and findings of related professional groups. 6. Determine the extent to which public school building design and construction were imple-mented or hindered by legal requirements. DELIMITATIONS: The following delimitations were set for this study: 1. This study was limited to design, construction, and legal requirements as determined by respon-dents from Pennsylvania school districts of the second, third, and fourth class. 2. This study was limited to building projects for which bids were approved by the Bureau of Build-ing Construction, Department of Education between July 1, 1965, and June 30, 1970. This period shall be referred to as the term of study. 3. This study was not limited to any particular type of school building. 4. This study dealt with public school buildings only. 5. This study concerned itself with procedures necessary for the approval of a school building plan and financing of the building project only insofar as it affected the building's design and construction.
