accordance with the educational needs of the school
Visual zone
(1) Lawns
(2) Flower gardens
(3) Flowerbeds
(4) Assembly area
(5) Rain Gardens or Bio-Wales.

winds (the light blue arrows)the main views from the school,
and the noise from the road (red arrows)
24. EVACUATION AREAS
The school should have provision for open space big
enough to accommodate the total population of the
school. The open space can be used as short-term (hours
in duration) temporary evacuation area of students,
teachers and school staff in case of emergencies such as
after a strong earthquake and occurrence of fire.
