This document reports the development of a system of mass-produced standardized components for school construction. The project was originated and implemented to solve a problem connected with the heavy demand for schools that confronted the Montreal Catholic School Board. The report outlines the problem -- a need for schools -- and gives details…

Jurney, Douglas M. – School Business Affairs, 1979
A preengineered building has the advantages of factory production and computerized quality control. Insulation efficiency and a roofing system that enables the entire roof membrane to react a full two inches to any temperature-induced movement are two of the innovations of preengineered building research. (Author/MLF)

Department of Education and Science, London (England). – 1968
The coordination of the building components of educational facilities is discussed. The resulting components will be used for a wide range of building types in addition to schools and the recommendation should therefore be seen as part of a widespread move toward establishing a national British 'pool' of dimensionally related components. The two…

Halsall, R. – 1969
The history, advantages, and disadvantages of component building systems are discussed. Application of the scientific method to the building industry forecasts the use of prefabrication and on-site erection of factory-made subsystems of buildings. Educational facilities in the United States, Canada, and England have made use of many different…

Stull, Don; Heder, Lajos – 1968
Concepts and recommendations are presented regarding a proposed system of dispersed classroom clusters or 'infill schools'. These small independent urban schools would be housed in prefabricated structures developed for infill housing in Boston. The infill unit uses pre-designed building components and can be constructed in a few weeks. The infill…
