In view of the cost of structural framing for school buildings, ten steel-framed schools are examined to review the economical advantages of steel for school construction. These schools do not resemble each other in size, shape, arrangement or unit cost; some are original in concept and architecture, and others are conservative. Cost and…

Sharp, Harris – 1967
Four factors are necessary for a truly integrated ceiling--(1) light source, (2) acoustical properties, (3) outlets, and (4) complete flexibility. The ceiling plenum is used and can be used more advantageously in the future to satisfy these requirements. Complete flexibility will allow partitions to be moved to form any size or shape space.…
