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.

School Site ZoningA 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

EVACUATION AREASThe 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.
