Design Modification in an Open-Plan School.

Evans, Gary W.; Lovell, Barbara

Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n1 p41-49 Feb 1979

This research evaluated the effects of a design modification in an open-plan high school. The addition of several variable height partitions throughout the school reduced classroom interruptions and increased content questions. Hypotheses about specific design mechanisms contributing to environment-behavior congruence in open plan schools were presented. (Author/RD)
