GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS FOR PHYSICAL PLANT AND FACILLITIES OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

The following are the guidelines and standards for physical facilities of colleges and universities. Physical Facilities Physical Facilities refers to the site, buildings, service systems, instruction rooms and the various general services of the school. ARTICLE I SECTI ! I. The planning of physical facilities for Colleges and "niversities ta#es cogni$ance of the %&fold mission of higher education' teaching, esea ch an! "#$lic se %ices& It must be general towards the integration of two divergent factors ( the user)s socio&cultural characteristics and the nature of physical environment in terms of human needs for comfort, safety, and ease of movement. It must be also planned for fle*ibility to anticipate educational, as well as social changes. ARTICLE II +. ,.

To their location and arrangement to achieve ma*imum functional efficiency and aesthetic effect. The main building should be given the most prominent place. ARTICLE III Stan!a !s Sites In addition to the planning standards for school facilities pertaining to sites, a standard school site should meet all conditional re/uirements as follows' A& L'cati'n 0. Accessi$ility a. + college site should be accessible to ordinary means of transportation.

b. It should be located in a community or an area where the growing curricular demands and needs for students and society are met. c. College site should be chosen where it will be possible to place buildings out of danger from flood, earth/ua#e and other natural calamities.

1.

En%i 'n(ent a. 2eneral Environment Factors of the College 03 It is recommended that before a college or university is established, a demand analysis must be underta#en to determine the catchments area which the institution will serve in order to assure that the college level enrolment will be sufficient to support the institution.

67

13 The general climatic condition of the area in which a college is located should be healthful and conducive to learning. %3 College offering vocational and pre&professional courses should be located near 4laboratory facilities5, e.g., maritime courses should have an access to a big body of water, agricultural courses near farming areas, and forestry courses near forest. If the college would offer one or more curricula for teachers, there should be available ade/uate practice teaching facilities. b. Immediate Environment of the College 03 + college site should not be located near airports and railroad lines or other transport facilities that cause unnecessary disturbance, factory or manufacturing establishments that might be a source of pollution or danger to students. 13 The site boundaries of a college should be at least 066 meters perimeter distance from undesirable entertainment houses and gambling dens. %3 There should have an ade/uate supply of portable water, sewerage system, efficient fire protection, police protection and other similar services that will protect the health, safety and well being of students. )& Si*e an! F' (s 0. The area of the school site, as a general rule will be as Follows' a. ne&half hectare for a school with an enrolment of 766 or less students. b. ne hectare for a school with an enrolment of 760 to 0,666 students. c. Two hectares for a school with an enrolment of 0,660 to 1,666 students. d. Three hectares for a school with an enrolment of 1,660 to %,666. e. +s a general rule the same ratio should be maintained for enrolment in e*cess of %,666. For larger colleges and universities the campus should be at least 8 hectares for the minimum number of students which is 06,666. There should be space on the campus for holding class programs and sports activities.

The shape of a college site is not important as its total site, since landscape architects and college administrators can adapt a campus plan to a variety of shapes with relatively little less in efficiency. + rectangular plot of ground with length not more than one and one&half times the width heads itself most readily to the proper location of the various college units.

C&

Nat# e an! C'n!iti'n 0. + campus development plan is a re/uirement and must be submitted together with the application to establish a new school. a. Campus Plan and ,uilding Plan :e/uirements

The campus plan for a college should provide for the e*pected development of the college for a period of at least 17 years in advance of the time the plan is developed. It should represent the combined ;udgment of planners educational facilities including college administrators who are familiar with the need of that college, and architects of college buildings and landscape. The plan to provide for the most pleasing practical and economical way possible should consider the following' 03 13 %3 93 The retention, placement, renovation and demolition of e*isting buildings. + detailed topographical map essential to any ade/uate planning to the campus. This map should give contours and the location of all buildings, natural features, and service lines. The ma*imum utili$ation of all the natural elements of beauty on the campus such as trees and decorative plants. The placement of buildings so as to secure a ma*imum of natural light during the time the buildings are in use. If classroom buildings face southeast or southwest, most of the rooms will have either morning or afternoon sunlight without the glare which results from direct southern e*posure. Special rooms, such as art studies, should have the north light. Classrooms should not face busy thoroughfares or playing field where there is distracting activity. The central location of the library and administrative building should be in close pro*imity to each other. The location of the assembly hall or auditorium should be near a street or campus entrance in order that it may conveniently serve the public.

The chapel or other buildings used primarily by the students should be situated away from the main entrance and in a location as /uiet as possible. The location of gymnasium should be ad;acent to the playground. The placement of laboratory rooms should ensure that unpleasant odors and fumes will not disturb students at wor# in ad;acent buildings. The location of the music room where practice will not disturb the other students. The placement of buildings to avoid fire ha$ard to ad;acent buildings The location of buildings so that future addition may be made without interfering with other buildings. The buildings shall not be used in any manner for private residence or for other purposes that might interfere directly or indirectly in the proper functioning of the school.

+ campus plan should be general and not so detailed as to retard or discourage adaptations to future needs as they may develop. 093 Flag pole should be located in front prominently in the main school buildings as the building faces the road, or main approach should not set close to the building, and never attached to the ground. Flagpole should be triple higher than the school buildings, should never be set under the trees, and nothing should be over the flag.

Poles should not be straight and erect. They should be set on a good base. Preferably reinforced concrete, Poles should be never more than half yard on a pole. 2alvani$ed iron pipe ma#es a good flagpole and they should never be set in the front wal#. Si$e and Forms There should be at least 1.7 s/. m space per student on the campus for holding class co&curricular programs and sports activities b. 2ross Structure 0. Type and +rchitecture Consistency

a3 Types of construction used will depend upon such items as' foundation, nearness of other buildings, height of buildings, possibilities of earth/ua#e, and similar factors. The construction should provide reasonable protection from fire dangers, and also desirable degree of permanency for college buildings. b3 c3 1. a3 b3 %. a3 b3 c3 9. a3 b3 The style of architectural design of college buildings should as much as possible possess unity and consistency. College buildings should use more open shaped buildings such as E.T.". or ! since these lead themselves most readily to e*pansion without impairing the lighting of e*isting rooms. ?aterials The material used in all college buildings should fire resistive. The structural system should be basically steel or reinforced concrete. Foundation and Supporting @alls Concrete is the best foundation material. If bric# or stone is used, it should be laid in cement mortar. :ooms in which noisy activities are to be carried on should have the walls, ceiling and floors provided with some materials to restrict the transmission of sound. ,eams and 2irders should be of steel or reinforced concrete. @indow Placement For regular classrooms, unilateral left&hand light on the long side of the room has proved entirely satisfactory. -arge lecture rooms, libraries and laboratories may have windows on both long sides of the rooms. +ll teaching spaces should possess a window area of at least 16A of the internal elevation of the e*ternal wall.

Special e*its should be provided for auditoriums, 2ymnasiums, dressing rooms which may be used for community purposes, so that the main activities of building may not be interrupted when special activities are being carried on. E*its should be arranged with respect to corridors, passages and stairways with no dead ends where students might be trapped in time of panic. @henever possible, segregate vehicular routes from pedestrian routes. If vehicles and pedestrian can not be separated, either raise the footpaths or distinguish them from vehicular areas by changing the color andCor te*ture of the surfaces. ?a#e routes as direct as direct as possible and use clear obvious signs, multilingual signs may be an advantage in some schools, descriptive signs are more effective than words, and avoid erecting anything that people may trip over bump against. Provide passage ;oining different levels of building or ramp and gutter for the handicapped and for easy delivery and transfer of goods, materials, furniture, etc.
