How to Use Worksheets
Are you building a new school or remodelingexisting facilities? This set of worksheets can help you.A multitude of details require consideration. The check-list becomes a useful memory jogger. By selecting thearea function froh the lefthand Column you can determine'technological facilities to be considered:
1. Think in terms of areas and functions to becarried on in each area.
2. Use worksheets to check technological facilities,item by item. These are optimum suggestions.Make a selection of those that fit your situation.
3. Make detailed notes in the righthand column onnumbers of students, space requirements, equip-ment and materials needed in each arei..
4. Go over listing, step by step, with persons andcommittees involved. Expert advice should besought early in the planning process.
It is most important to involve your staff inPlanning new facilities. They will surprise you with manyexcellent new ideas. Also, they will always feel the newbuilding, materials and equipment are their own because theyhad a real part in planning for them.
Audio-visual personnel, librarians and technicianscan use the checklist to evaluate present facilities orplan for future expansion of the media center. This typeof preplanning insures consideration of many media itemseasily overlooked and becomes invaluable when working withbuilding committees and architects.
It is vital to secure professional media consultativeservices from competent representatives of a college, universityor the Pennsylvania Department of Education before educationalspecifications are submitted to an architect. It is also help-ful to visit an exemplary school system with superior mediafacilities and services to get new ideas for Planning.
You may want to include items that are not reimbursable.Many ideas that are inexpensive additions to plans will make adifference in the convenience and_vse. of the building in futureyears. Talk out problems and try to arrive at common decisionswithin budget limitations. You are building for the future andyou will have to convince the school board and the publicinclude advanced ideas. Larger, enrollments in years to comeusually make this forward looking adventuresome planning extremelyworthwhile.
