Floor plans and illustrations present a simplified building system for an elementary school that can be utilized by any school board. All components for the system can be drawn from existing products and readily integrated with the structure. The component assembly and connections are illustrated in detail. Factory production is utilized to reduce site labor time and to obtain improved technical performance. The system of construction consists of the assembly of a "kit" of components comprising steel joists, trusses, columns, and exterior metal panels. The school is designed on a horizontal module of five feet and future expansions can be provided in increments of 15 feet. (Author/MLF)
