Abstract: The small size of many schools in the Asian Region would cause separate laboratories for chemistry and biology to be underutilized. In many larger schools the curricula include "general science," with contents from biology, physics, and chemistry. This paper describes multipurpose spaces for science activities sufficient for science teaching and learning in all three fields. The study deals with the analytical phase of the design problem, relates the initial analysis to the specific laboratory design problem, and applies it to two design situations. A multiscience laboratory design for Ceylon includes a storage unit, but no fixed services are needed or provided. The transport of equipment between the storage unit and the work stations is facilitated by the use of mobile service units that can be attached to the work tables in different positions. An integrated science laboratory design for Malaysia provides fixed services installed in fixed units, but with movable oak tables. (Author/MLF)
