California Univ., Berkeley. Dept. of Physical Planning and Construction. – 1969
Basic information and guidelines on the use of URBS components are provided for use by architects and engineers. The URBS system was developed in response to the competitive bidding on performance specifications, incorporating user requirements, economic constraints, industry capability and trade practices. The essence of the URBS Project--the…

Baas, Alan M. – 1972
This review presents an analysis of the literature concerning the growth of systems building programs in education and reports on the conclusions of numerous architects and educators that the systems-built school may well be the only cost-effective answer available to today's educational facilities needs. The terms "building systems" and "systems…

New Jersey State Dept. of Higher Education, Trenton. – 1972
The major special feature of a planned college building is the application of Academic Building System (ABS) planning concepts to the building design and construction. The primary feature of this approach is total future flexibility of general academic space by use of movable and compatible subsystems. These subsystems appear in the form of…
