SPREAD-OUT LOOK of newer school buildings is shown by
this dormitory at Michigan State College. The very horizontal
lines are carried out by the window placement, the stonework
and-the flat roof. Rooms are lighter than in up-and-down
buildings.

CAMPUS PLAN OF THIS Illinois school provides outside doors
for each classroom so that dismissal and play periods don't
cause congestion in halls. Building for Crow Island elementary
school looks much like small homes, giving a warm atmosphere.
VIEW FROM THE LOBBY of the Senior High School Auditorium
of the Great Neck, New York, school shows how the architects,
LaPierre, Litchfield and Partners, envision the more domestic
character of the building. Lots of space for recessing assembly.
Designed To House Nation's
Pupils For Many Tomorrows
Most schools that are being built
today look as if some giant child
had flattened the little red. version
of yore and smeared it out across
the countryside. And with good
reason.
Newly-built schools are banjo
shaped, wandering, round, section
al, scattered like a deck of cards
In fact, anything but an up-and-down
building with fire escapes.
To many of those taxpayers who
got a perfectly good education in
a one-room by the river or a glit
tering WPA building or a con
verted home, this turn in school
design is an uncomfortable de
velopment. ,
To some of these residents, the
modern schools look like industrial
reflections of the ranch house
school of design. Many raise the
question of whether these schools,
with their glass bricks, their odd
angles and their loping ground
plans, aren't going to look as out
dated as a gingerbread house in
50 years.
What a leading firm in school
architecture has to say about the
schools they design may do a lot
to explain this turn in school archi
tecture.
First of all. according to Bn
John Small of the firm of La
Pierre. Litchfield and Partners in
New York, modern school design
la not a whim like the Cape Cod
or Queen Anne home fads.
School design starts with the edu
cational program it's going to
house, according to Mr. Small. "A
plan for a school that reflects the
educational program will be an
honest plan and will develop lis
own attractiveness."
Mr. Small explains that schools
are technically designed to last 50
years, though they may be used
for much longer or shorter periods.
But it follows from this that if
the philosophy of education con
tinues to evolve In the next 50
years as It has In the last, it would
be as foolish to try to carry out
the program in 50 years in one ol
today's schools as il would be to
'ry to run an assembly line in the
''np of a handrraflsman.
This firm, which has been work-
.g on school design for 15 years.
.o;ks clisely with educational ex-
rrls. To prevent obsoIeccence.
hey work far ahead In terms of
educational thinking.
The problems to be solved in
designing today's school are as
many as the moves In a game of
chess. Laws must be fulfilled but
wiiho'it strappinz the buricel.
tchool children yet unborn must
be anticipated but without build
ing too large for today's school
population.
The development of the commu
nity in 10 or 20 years must be ac
counted for--but without putting
the school in the middle of a
swamp. Safety must be insured In
all cases. Colors and materials
must be satisfying and appropriate.
To answer these problems In
each separate community takes a1
different building. The same build
ing would no more fit two different
communities than the same street
pattern would.
Mr. Small points out the two
characteristics that occur in most
schools being built to house today's
various versions of contemporary
education.
The first, Mr. Small says. Is the
domestic, rather than institutional,
character of the buildings. This not
only eases the transition from
home to school but produces an
atmosphere conducive to learning.
The second pretty common char
acteristic of the schools Is that
they spread out rather than going
up and down. There are many
practical reasons for this.
"Schools only go up and down
when there is no space," Mr.
Small explains. "They spread out
because:
"1. It Is more economical to
maintain a horizontal building.
"2. In case of fire a one- or two
level building can be evacuated In
25 seconds.
"3. The traffic patterns for
changing classes can be more
easily managed when there are no
stairs."
In addition In their domestic
and horizontal characteristics, ac
cording to Mr. Small, schools
today are more decentralized.
To Illustrate his point. Mr. Small
indicated the sketches for his cur
rent project, the Great Neck (New
York) Junior and Senior High
Schools.
This school looks like two wan
dering puddles of water, both
dumping into a central round build
ing, the cafeteria. The serpentine
' nature of the two branches was
delated by the rolling land. Mr.
I Small indicated, but the separate
! n'cs5 provides for the two schools
I on one plot of land, both utilizing
I the same kitchen.
