EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:



PART III S G, 7) All parking areas on grade shall be black top with curbs and dividers in concrete. 8) All pedestrian walks, plazas, ramps, steps, gradients, etc., shall be in reinforced concrete with carefully studied finishes, scoring, etc., or in special cases, brick, stone, exposed aggregate or other fine materials over reinforced concrete. 9) Land Coverage with buildings averaging 3.5 floors within a radius of 700 * from the campus center. (700 feet squared) x 3.1416 = 1,540,000 sq. ft. of land (approximately 35 acres). *1,850,000 gross sq. ft. of floor space required by Program for buildings * 3.5 floors = 528,000 sq. ft. of land coverage, or approximately 34% land coverage. This provides generous open spaces between buildings and, depending upon the height and form of buildings, can provide handsomely proportioned landscaped areas. 10) In this recommended criteria for construction and materials the convenience, efficiency, safety and comfort of the student and teacher is the basic design consideration. The modular design of most of the buildings lends itself to a systems approach and contributes to a low construction cost and speed of erection, and versatility of use. The permanence of the structures, the ease with which they may accommodate the changing needs of the future, and the centralized power and efficient and flexible distribution of it, contribute to low upkeep and maintenance costs.
