The main themes of a seminar conceived as a working forum for people engaged in developing new methods for determining space requirements in education are summarized. After a brief introduction, the following topics are discussed: identification of the requirements for remodeling an existing educational facility, matching the provisions determined with this identified need, using the available resources in the most productive manner, and improving the intensity of use of these facilities. In the discussion of this process, all organizations and individuals are involved from the economic and social communities. The conclusions stress the need for all parts of the process to be taken into account to reach a coherent set of methods and procedures. References are included, and the following materials are appended: a summary of initial stages of a Norwegian research study assessing space requirements and use in educational buildings; a summary of recent work on area standards and the use of teaching space; and a list of documents presented with a select bibliography.
