TOILET
Where rest rooms for the children are nonadjacent to the classroom, inordinate time is wasted in moving children to
and from the restroom . If rest rooms are integral parts of the classroom, children can use them independently and
develop self-reliance .The theory that the fixtures should resemble those in the children's homes has merit, but the
overriding considerations are convenience and utility . The wash basin and toilets should be appropriately sized for
children .

LANDSCAPING ON EACH INTERVEL

6. Lighting and ventilation
Light in school buildings traditionally is from a combination of daylight and electric light to illuminate
classrooms, hallways, cafeterias, offices and other interior areas. Light Fixtures currently in use usually provide students
and teachers with satisfactory visual performance, i.e., the ability to read a book, have lunch, or play basketball in a
gymnasium. However, the impact of light on students’ circadian—which may affect test scores, attendance and
behavior—also needs to be considered.

In auditorium: sky lighting was
introduced in auditorium

those spaces lighter.
In Classroom: Each classroom was
accompanied by a common
courtyard and balcony spaces to
have the space in space .pergolas
are used to avoid direct sunlight
and for aesthetics and to play
with light and shadow. With well
ventilated class rooms cross
ventilation was used in staffroom
and class room. labs have linear
ventilation. Windows were open
to courtyard staircase were
ventilated.
In library: When skillfully
introduced, daylight creates an
ambience of quiet
contemplation and visual
comfort, and links the
modern library user
psychologically with the
pretechnological past. The alternative to day lighting, namely the
use of electric power for library lighting, contributes to the strain
on electric generation capacity as well as the inefficient use of
nonrenewable energy resources.
DAY LIGHT: Natural ventilation and lighting was used
in the form of courtyards and large windows. their
was a minimum of SIX windows in each classes. The
courtyards was placed at regular intervals such that
each class room would have courtyard on either
sides.
