Class size
C. Kenneth Tanner (2009) outlines the specifications for a suitable classroom, including the
social gap and square footage. According to C. Kenneth Tanner (2009), "the amount of square
feet per student is a significant factor in achievement." Since the problem of space is so
complicated, the results discussed here can only be used as a starting point for typical classroom
activities including lectures and small group activities, with computer terminals arranged along
the classroom walls. In both men and women, the lower middle point for social distance is 7 feet.
“Larger pupils, according to C. Kenneth Tanner (2009), according to the social distance concept
require 64 square feet”.
Class location
This paper, published by the New York State Department of Health Bureau of Emergency
Medical Services (2010), outlined recommendations for ensuring that classrooms are suitable for
learning. According to the New York State Department of Health Bureau of Emergency Medical
Services (2010), the learning environment should be: located inside a building with easy access
by students and equipment, isolated from noisy gathering places, and concentrated on the lower
floors of buildings to provide an easy avenue for students, as well as provide convenient access
for the disabled and support staff. The use of adjacent spaces must be deliberately selected to
avoid disruptive noises and vibrations, according to the paper. Additionally, classrooms should
not be located near mailrooms, reception areas, dining facilities, rest rooms, loading docks,
mechanical equipment rooms, vehicle bays, or other similar areas that produce noise. According
to the New York State Department of Health's Bureau of Emergency Medical Services (2010),
"care must be taken in their position in relation to the exterior environments as well as in the
direction of air paths between spaces.

Classroom layout
Becton Loveless article outlines the guide on classroom design and layouts. According to the
report, if classes are highly group-oriented, they should be set out in such a way that group
learning is facilitated. Desks should also be set up so that students can easily communicate with
one another and work together on community projects. Furthermore, teachers who like to lecture
should organize classrooms in a more conventional sequence of rows and columns, allowing
students to see the lecturer clearly.
Becton Loveless went on to say that the different layout options represent different teaching
ideologies. Teachers who want to concentrate on creating a healthy, quiet classroom atmosphere
use small groups, while teachers who want to focus on creating a stable, quiet classroom
environment use rows and columns. It should be remembered that the layout option may not
have to be permanent, and teachers can choose to change the layout as circumstances change.
Rows and columns may help build a stable, quiet atmosphere at the start of the year, but teachers
may later prefer to use group clusters to move the class into a cooperative environment.

Safety considerations (Lighting and ventilation)
C. Kenneth Tanner (2009) document presents information on the lighting regulations suitable for
a classroom. The document states that natural light created by windows show be adjacent to
classrooms as factors in learning. C. Kenneth Tanner (2009) added that the basic classroom
should have at least 72 Square feet (6.70 Square Meters) of windows for natural light, These
classrooms should have views overlooking life and an exit door to the outside learning
environments.
Safety considerations Lighting and ventilation
Richard Daniels (2018) publishes a document that sets regulation and guideline on the topic of
ventilation, thermal comfort and indoor air quality for school buildings. Richard Daniels (2018)
states that, ventilation systems vary from fully natural to completely mechanical. He added that,
the ventilation technique that can be used in classrooms and functional spaces in a school is
determined by the design constraints. In the majority of current designs, general teaching spaces
employ hybrid or mixed-mode ventilation systems that combine mechanical and natural
ventilation. The wind and stack impact are the driving forces behind these devices. Single-sided
ventilation, cross ventilation, and stack ventilation systems are all examples of this. They can
entail.
Richard Daniels (2018) then outlined the safety guidelines that should be complied when
approaching the ventilation of a school building. The document states that enough outdoor air
should be delivered in general teaching and learning spaces to achieve a daily average CO2
concentration of less than 1000 ppm. Every day, the daily concentration does not exceed 1500
ppm for more than 20 minutes. Practical activities such as research, design, and technology, as
well as food technology, can require higher ventilation rates. When dealing with unique
processes or pollutant sources that produce moisture, dust, or fumes, local exhaust ventilation
(LEV) is frequently needed. Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
Regulations 2002, LEV should be supplying, subject to risk assessments.
Construction materials suitable for project

According to Builderspace.com, precast concrete is one of the most environmentally friendly
materials for school construction. Furthermore, buildings constructed with this material do not
require as much thermal control as those constructed with conventional concrete and are usually
more resilient. It's a low-maintenance building material with a high thermal mass, which makes it
ideal for temperature control.
10 Sustainable Building Materials for Schools - BuilderSpace
MasterClass Staff (2021) wrote an article called "12 Types of Building Materials and How to
Use Them." According to the article, the clarity of glass makes it a good building material.
Windows, doors, skylights, and facades will all benefit from the use of glass.
MasterClass staff (2021) further added that wood it is low-cost and easy to modify, and that it
provides insulation in cold weather. Also, engineered wood is made up of various types of wood
that have been artificially bonded together to create a composite wood; examples include
plywood, particle board, and laminated veneer. Interiors, exteriors, structural frames, walls,
floors, shelving, decking, roofing material, decorative elements, and fencing are all common uses
for wood. This material will be used in the building of the timber board.
Aluminum was discussed as a possible material for the project. Aluminum is a solid, lightweight,
malleable metal that can be used to make window frames, moldings, and exterior wall panels,
according to Master Class staff (2021). Salts also corrode aluminum, which is a chemically
vulnerable metal.

Equipment (suitable for building construction workshop at college level)

Equipment that would be suitable for the construction workshop were outlined in a document
presented by THE HONG KONG POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY (2009). This document
provides a fundamental understanding of site practices on reinforced concrete and other type of
techniques used in building construct. THE HONG KONG POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY
(2009) States that equipment used in building construction will include: mixers, wheelbarrows,
poker vibrator, slump test tool set, cube test tool set, concrete profiling machine, electrical
bending machine, band saw, disc saw circular saw. Addition tools that would be suitable for
building practices according to an article by Krunal Rajput would include: framing square,
hammer, handsaw, hoe, scoop, jack hammer, line level, masonry trowel, measuring tape
measuring box, screening machine, spade.

Costing for the proposed development

The cost per square feet that was used along the width of the overall building area was used to
measure the cost of the building, according to Nigel Gage, a teacher at Antigua State College. He
went on to say that the estimation method used was parametric estimation.
