APPENDIX D <br />DESIGN 3C - SCHOOL BUILDINGS FOR MINNESOTA - 1924 <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br />DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION <br />_ �f <br />Design No. 3 C -D. <br />UNGRADED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL <br />Serviceable schoolhouses are planned from the inside out. This, however, does not <br />mean that the outside need be unattractive. A building such as here shown presents a <br />pleasing exterior of domestic design characteristic of many southern homes, but not un- <br />common in other parts of the country. <br />The plan has been carefully worked out so as to secure a convenient interior ar- <br />rangement, with sufficient floor space for forty pupils. This implies that the school- <br />room will afford space for five rows of seats—stationary or movable --with eight seats <br />to each row. <br />Every schoolhouse should fit the site upon which it is placed. This building re. <br />quires a site which faces the SOUTH as the windows of the schoolroom have been <br />planned for an eastern exposure and the heating plant has been located so as to have <br />the heat currents travel across the room toward the windows. The physical welfare <br />of the children requires that they have an abundance -of light from an advantageous <br />direction and that the temperature of the room be kept as near the comfort point as <br />possible. <br />on <br />Designs 3C -D from the 1924 Edition of School Buildings for Minnesota, a collection of pre -approved one and two <br />room school designs published by the State of Minnesota Department of Education. h21 <br />
