The major systems development projects of the 1960's were concerned primarily with facility problems at the elementary and secondary levels. Rapidly increasing enrollments coupled with changes in both curriculum and in teaching methods created a demand for more flexible facilities that could be constructed rapidly and inexpensively. The success of…

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…

Clinchy, Evans; And Others – 1971
Discovered or "found" space in a school system most often appears as (1) space that a school system already owns in its outdated buildings and which is being used inefficiently; and (2) space lying close at hand in warehouses, factories, industrial plants, or in little-used public buildings. Found space is one solution to the problem of…
