The Ohio School Facilities Commission has published this manual intended to assure uniform, energy efficient, cost effective, easily maintainable, and technologically advanced educational facilities for its public schools. It provides a critical analysis of individual spaces and material/system components necessary for the construction of elementary and secondary schools and combination facilities. The manual allows the school district choice within specific guidelines of the State's Classroom Assistance Programs. It stipulates the cost per square foot for three grade configurations in nine regions in the State as well as the square footage allowed per child according to grade level. Each of the following programs are detailed: Building Assistance/Classroom Facilities Assistance Program; Emergency School Building Repair Program; Big Eight Renovations and Repairs; Energy Conservation; and Disability Access Program. Summarized program appropriations data conclude the manual. (GR)
