5. SITE DEVELOPMENT PLANNING
 Site development planning is viewed essentially as an
exercise in the layout of infrastructure.
 The purpose of site development planning is to anticipate
the future needs and development of a school in terms of
physical facilities and to contribute towards conducive
teaching-learning environment.

8. School Site Zoning
 A basic step in school site development is to apportion its
external spaces into different areas or zones each of
which is designed for a specific purpose or utilization, in
accordance with the educational needs of the school
 Visual zone
(1) Lawns
(2) Flower gardens
(3) Flowerbeds

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.
