Abstract: Land scarcity dominates the thinking of school planners in Singapore. Techniques for optimizing the use of land for schools include (1) the construction of multi-storied or high-rise schools; (2) operation of a double-shift system and, in some cases, a triple-shift system; (3) multiple use of educational spaces; and (4) construction of several schools in combination on the same site. This case study of the design of secondary schools in Singapore includes a review of the curriculum and explains how this has been translated into spacial requirements, building layout, and site layout. Methods of school mapping (planning the location of new schools to provide maximum service) are explained. An organizational chart shows the government departments and statutory boards that are involved in planning and building schools. Illustrations show the layout of science laboratories, home economics laboratories, workshops, craft rooms, resource centers, canteens, and sports facilities. The report concludes with a chapter on construction costs. (Author/MLF)
