This report reviews some of the more important educational innovations that have transformed the arrangement of space and design of the schoolhouse environment. Design, structural, and functional features are described for open plan schools (schools without interior walls). Consideration is given to the use of performance specifications in the design of a coordinated series of building components, and to the influence of instructional hardware (computers, films, television, tapes) on schoolhouse design. EFL's involvement in these developments is examined. Financial statements of EFL's assets and liabilities and the related statement of income, grants, and expenses are followed by a list of EFL reports and project publications. (FS)
