This document discusses principles of school site development planning. It describes how a site development plan is used to layout buildings, structures, and zones within a school based on considerations like sun paths, wind, noise barriers, and open spaces. The purpose is to plan infrastructure and facilities to contribute to a conducive teaching and learning environment. Key areas or zones discussed include visual, physical, functional, agricultural, playgrounds, athletic fields, and evacuation areas.

 Sun screens, Vertical Louvers and Green Walls (vertical
gardens)
 The distances between buildings
 The recommended setback
 There should be provision for open space
SCHOOL SITE DEVELOPMENT

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
(4) Assembly area
(5) Rain Gardens or Bio-Wales.
(6) Physical zone
(7) Functional zone

15. Historical Context
This historical map is from 1947 and shows how much of the area
was still farm land 60 years ago.

16. Environmental Analysis

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.
