Daylight openings (skylights) in the roof and the new façade are the most distinctive and eye-catching features of this renovation project. One air-intake tower is shown in the lower picture.

This guide gives design/layout examples of elementary schools. In contrast to former times more-standardised school buildings, these days there is a greater variation in design/layout. The examples have been chosen to illustrate different models of home-base areas. Some of the concepts used in this guide are explained in Building Research Design Guide 342.205.

02Different school models

Large numbers of «classroom schools» are still being built, but as a result of new organisational forms and new ways of working, several examples of elementary schools designed with new floor plans and room types have been built in recent years.
