6. ABSTACT
In this research paper the standards of school, what are the comfortable zone for students and teacher and how this
building helps in changing the thinking of society and people; what's the ideal place for constructing the school.
Schools are places for learning. Place where next generation is educated and prepared for the future. So, school is a
important building structure in our life as it is a place from where our dreams come true. School plays a important
role in making of our society. So, its our duity to make the school a beautiful place, we have to need to study the
anthropometry of children so that they can live in the school comfortably.

8. Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION OF SCHOOL
A school is an educational institution designed to provide learning spaces and learning
environments for the teaching of students (or “pupils”) under the direction of teachers. School
generally include primary school for young children and secondary school for teenagers who
have completed primary education. An institution where higher education is taught, is commonly
called a university college or university, but these higher education institutions are usually not
compulsory
1.2 AIM
To study the importance of school and knowing the importance this building type in architecture .
1.3 OBJECTIVE
The main Motive of this research to know -
 About the standards of school
 Comfortable zone in school for Students & Teachers
 Knowing the importance this building type in society and people.

9. CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The concept of grouping students together in a centralized location for learning has existed since
Classical antiquity. Formal schools have existed at least since ancient Greece, ancient Rome,
ancient India, and ancient China. The Byzantine Empire had an established schooling system
beginning at the primary level.
2.2 HISTORY OF SCHOOL IN INDIA
In ancient India, schools were in the form of Gurukuls. Gurukuls were traditional Hindu
residential schools of learning; typically the teacher’s house or a monastery. During the Mughal
rule, Madrasahs were introduced in India to educate the children of Muslim parents. British
records show that indigenous education was widespread in the 18th century, with a school for
every temple, mosque or village in most regions of the country.
2.3 SELECTION OF SITE
While selecting the site of school buildings, the following points should be kept in mind:
A) Easy accessibility from residential areas.
B) Site should be away from heavy traffic roads, rivers, ponds, railway tracks, etc.
C) Site should be away from high tension lines.
D) The land should not be of made-up ground unless precautions have been taken for stabilization.
E) Site should ensure a good natural drainage.
F) The site should preferably be at a quiet place away from places generating noise and pollution,
such as cinemas, factor centre shopping centers
.

10. 2.4 STANDARDS
2.4.1 CLASSROOMS
Height of the classroom should not be less than 3.00 m measured at any point from the surface of
the floor to the lowest point of the ceiling. The minimum headroom such as under the bottom of
beams, fans and lights shall be 2.6 m measured vertically under such beam, fan or light. He
proportion of the breadth ( minimum dimension.) to the length ( maximum dimension) of the
classroom should be not more than 1:1.5 Sill Heights – The sill height for classrooms with
furniture arrangement should be not more than 800 mm measured from finished floor level and
that for the classrooms with squatting arrangement should be not more than 600 mm.

11. 2.4.2 LABORATORIES
The size of the laboratories depends on the following:-
a) Dimensions of children and their space requirements,
b) Flexibility of arrangement and multiuse of spaces,
c) Usefulness of the wall area, and
d) Interrelationship of auxiliary spaces.
Laboratories should be designed for 24 seats.

12. 2.4.3: DOORS
No exit doorway shall be less than IO0 cm in width. Door-ways shall be not less than 200 cm in
height.
Doorways for bathrooms, water closet, etc, shah be not less than 75 cm.
2.4.4 : STAIRS
The minimum tread shall be 30 cm. The treads shall be constructed and maintained in a manner
to prevent slipping.
The maximum height of riser shall be 15 cm. They shall be limited to 12 per flight. The
minimum headroom in a passage under the landing of a staircase and under the staircase shall be
2.2 m.
2.4.5: RAMPS
Ramps with a slope of not more than 1 in 10 may be substituted for and shall comply with all the
applicable requirements of required stairways as to enclosure, capacity and limiting dimensions.
Ramps shall be surfaced with approved non-slipping materials.
2.4.6 : COORRIDOORS
The minimum width of a corridor shall not be less than 150 cm.

13. CHAPTER 3 : CASE STUDY
3.1 : THE RAJASTHAN SCHOOL
Architect: Ar. SANJAY PURI
Area: 93000 ft²
City: RAS
Country: INDIA
The RAJASTHAN SCHOOL is a low rise 3 level school with open, enclosed and semi enclosed
spaces of varying spaces. Keeping in mind about the desert climate of its location the
temperature in exceed of 35°C for most of the year the class room are designed in such a manner
as they faces towards North.
The auditorium , primary school and administration space occupy the southern side of the site
opening into a large sheltered open area towards the north beyond which the secondary school
classrooms, library & cafeteria.
The semi-sheltered courtyard has multiple angular pathways, connecting the two parts of the
school.
The entire school opens towards a multipurpose playground & athletics track on the northern
side. The entire circulation is through open naturally ventilated corridors traversing & skirting
the focal semi sheltered landscaped court in the centre
A) Angled vertical walls act as sun breakers to reduce heat gain from the east, west & south
sides generating cooler internal spaces.
B) The complete electrical power requirement is generated by the residual energy of a cement
plant nearby.
C) The entire water is recycled & reused.
D) The building by its design is thus extremely energy efficient.
E) The Rajasthan School derives its character from the organic old cities, with an informal
layout, interspersed open & enclosed volumes, designed in response to the hot climate, creating a
school that is exploratory in multiple ways.

16. CONCLUSION
The overall conclusion of the report is that; The school is a social building where students get
education and improve their standards of life.
During designing any school it is mandatory to know the standards.
School should be a cheerful place for students so that they come and don’t feel boare.
In this paper I covered about the history of school, what is the the ideal place for school,
standards of different spaces like classroom, laboratories, door, ramps, corridor etc. Along with
this one case studies is also cover which provides the idea of constructing a climate responsible
building.
