OPSW". ,the schoolhouse 8$ we know it is obsolete. The tasks

and the opportunitie$ of erhcation are fartoo great ever

agairt to be confined within anysittgle enclave designated

as *school,"As these words from Dr. Fischer's keyr-Ae address infer, facility

planners today face a monumental challenne. Specific answers to the

eductitional challenges of the next several decades, through the disci-

plines of architecture, comprehensive educational planning and

facility administration, will have a dramatic influence on not mit,' how

well our children are educated but also on the future of educetion

itself.The geometric cuive of knowledge has, and will continue to,

project itself at an increasingly steeper angle in relation to our capacity

to impart the knowledge. Tomorrow's citizens will hardly be prepared

to cope with the twenty-first century unless this generation begins to

make some significant improvements in both facilities and method-s,

ology, if it is i.000 late already.This forty-fqth Annual Conference of the_Council was held in

Washington,04, October 7 through 10, 1968. Its theme: "Facility

Technolog(ct Catalyst for Learning." The Council wies to express

its appreciation to the many individuals whose contil4utions and

efforts, both before, during and after the conference, made it

successful and significant.

Much of the stimulation of theConference could not be put onto a

printed page the informal discussions, the architectural exhibits, the

"kaffe klatch" conferences, all were a partof the Conference too.

In retrospect, however, we are disturbed more by our Weaknesses

than we are encouraged by our strengths. As we probed, session by

session, into the dramatic technology of educational and facility

hardware, it became more and more apperent that we !acked the

programing, the content, and the ability to utilize what we had and

Page 5: facility hardware systems. (6) technology as it affects ...sicec. cie-fp to eric and organizations operating under agreements with the u.s. office of education. further reproduction

what could be produced for us. The gap between the art of education

and the science of its implementation is wide indeed.

This book presents many of the outstanding presentations given to

the Conference participants individually, they are painted contri-

butions to any facility planner's scope of thinking; collectively, they

present something more than the sum of the parts a program for

tomorrow.Unfortunately, tomorrow Is almost here.

ConclusionErnest Me lby: "To many, the points Iam making will be depressing. The sub-ject-matter researcher would like a

world in which children and youthlearned without help, freeing him forfull-time research. The big taxpayerwould like mass methods of educationthrough television or films for largeclasses. Educational administrators andmany teachers hope for curricularchanges which make creative humanrelations unnecessary. But to all thesewe must reply that teaching is an art,and machines will not replace teachersany more than machines will paint pic-tures or compose symphonies.Machines may help but the degree towhich they help will depend on thecreativity of the teacher. The time willnever come when creative living withstudents ceases to be the essence ofeducation. On the contrary, the morewe learn about education the moreimportant the teacher becomes."

vehicle for developing cooperationamong teachers and can aid in over-coming the isolation of individualteachers and classrooms that has com-monly resulted from traditionalpatterns of school organization andteaching. A more efficient deploymentand specialized use of facility personnelis one of the new instructional techno-logies and techniques. Educationalequipment and methods may disclosenew objectives in education that other-wise may have been ignored. The devel-opment of new means often influencesthe judgement of which ends are worthachieving. More effective teachingtechniques may be expected to affectboth the goals and substance of educa-tion, just as improved methods ofco m mu n ication and travel haveimportantly influenced our values aswell as our behavior."'

I am in concurrence with this signi-ficant statement. But it is of the greatestimportance to note, as a supplement tothe statement, that educational plan-ning planning of program and ofinstructional strategy must precedethe planning of facilities and the pro-curement of technological resources.Proper planning must also giveattention to the economic aspects ofthe introduction of technological sys-tems into a school or college environ-ment as well as the educational valuesthat may result; frequently it is essentialto indulge in complex analyses to arriveat defensible decisions pertaining to theeffectiveness and efficiency of combin-ations of educational resources, bothpeople and things. It can hardly bedoubted, therefore, that executives ofour schools and colleges and universitiesare now facing critical problems ofplanning that are more difficult than

ever before in educational history. Thedevelopment of a new science ofinstitutional management would appearto be inevitable.

prints-out lists exactly how each stu-dent performed on each question, whatpercentage of the class selected eachalternative and the precentage ofquestions asked which each studentanswered correctly.

Computer Supported Instruction LabThe lab contains 200 stations equip-

ped with 50 cathode ray tubes and key-board (consoles) connected to a remotecomputer. Each student communicatesdirectly with the computer. Thecomputer asks the students questions.The questions are answered by a studentby depressing the keys on the studentkeyboard and pressing the transmitterkey to transmit his answer to thecomputer. The computer checks theanswer by the student. If correct, it tellsthe student and gives him anotherquestion. If incorrect, the student istold what he did incorrectly and thequestion is asked again. The computerkeeps track of right and wrong answers.At the end of a given period, the com-puter can furnish information about theperformance of each student.

Lucy Cobb Student Response andMulti-Media Control System

The facility was built in 1858. Thesystem has been installed in remodeledspace. Floors are carpeted. It is air con-ditioned and well-lighted. This system isused to teach driver education. Its com-ponents are the film chain, a rear pro-jection screen, a projection control box,the instructor's media control console,a tape deck, and the student stationswith student responders. The system isexactly the same as that described forthe automated classroom at the Infan-try School except for the computercapability and, of course, it is a smallerapplication and less sophisticated.

Summary and ConclusionsSix learning systems currently being

used or tested in our schools have beendescribed and some implications forbuilding planning discussed. Theselearning systems have great potentialfor aiding individualized and largegroup instruction when there is properapplication in the instructional pro-gram. They are subject, of course, to theusual mechanical and related problems.

In planning for these systems, thefollowing should be kept in mind:

1. These systems are in the earlystages of development and are likely tobecome more efficient, less expensiveand more sophisticated.

2. An inter-disciplinary approachin the planning of these systems is amust.

3. Their application and use in theinstructional program must be carefullydetermined through appropriate curri-culum development studies.

4. Educational specifications mustbe prepared as the medium for assessingneed and communicating the instruc-tional uses as well as system compon-ents to the architect.

5. Careful and perhaps extensiveinstruction in the purposes and uses ofthe systems installed in a new schoolplant is essential for the teachers whoare to use them.

6. Plan for these systems in newschools by making provision for power,sound and video distribution, and all-band terminals.

7. Systematize the approach to theuse of the needed system where possibleand plan ahead for their potentialfuture use. IN

prints.out lists exactly how each stu-dent performed on each question, whatpercentage of the class selected eachalternative and the precentage ofquestions asked which each studentanswered correctly.

Computer Supported Instruction LabThe lab contains 200 stations equip-

ped with 50 cathode ray tubes and key-board (consoles) connected to a remotecomputer. Each student communicatesdirectly with the computer. The

computer asks the students questions.The questions are answered by a studentby depressing the keys on the studentkeyboard and pressing the transmitterkey to transmit his answer to thecomputer. The computer checks theanswer by the student. If correct, it tellsthe student and gives him anotherquestion. If incorrect, the student istold what he did incorrectly and thequestion is asked again. The computerkeeps track of right and wrong answers.At the end of a given period, the com-puter can furnish information about theperformance of each student.

Lucy Cobb Student Response andMulti-Media Control System

The facility was built in 1858. Thesystem has been installed in remodeledspace. Floors are carpeted. It is air conditioned and well-lighted. This system isused to teach driver education. Its com-ponents are the film chain, a rear pro-jection screen, a projection control box,the instructor's media control console,a tape deck, and the student stationswith student responders. The system isexactly the same as that described forthe automated classroom at the Infan-try School except for the computercapability and, of course, it is a smallurapplication and less sophisticated.

Summary and ConclusionsSix learning systems currently being

used or tested in our schools have beendescribed and some implications forbuilding planning discussed. These

learning systems have great potentialfor aiding individualized and large

group instruction when there is properapplication in the instructional pro-gram. They are subject, of course, to the

usual mechanical and related problems.In planning for these systems, the

following should be kept in mind:1. These systems are in the early

stages of develupment and are likely tobecome more efficient, less expensiveand more sophisticated.

2. An inter-disciplinary approachin the planning of these systems is amust.

3. Their application and use in theinstructional program must be carefullydetermined through appropriate curri-culum development studies.

4. Educational specifications mustbe prepared as the medium for assessingneed and communicating the instruc-tional uses as well as system compon-ents to the architect.

5. Careful and perhaps extensiveinstruction in the purposes and uses ofthe systems installed in a new schoolplant is essential for the teachers whoare to use them.

6. Plan for these systems in newschools by making provision for power,sound and video distribution, and allband terminals.

7. Systematize the approach to theuse of the needed system where possibleand plan ahead for their potentialfuture use. II

indicate that there are no problems thatare not subject to solutions.

Witness the new, single family,instant-housing announced by MayorDaley and the Chicago HousingAuthority. When weighed against thecity's established building codes, unionjurisdictions and normal financing pro-cedures, it is as improbable a project asone could imagine.

An over-riding need, plus auto-mation, have spawned this commitmentto erect 2,000 or more pre-fab, modularunits a year, for sale to disadvantaged inthe Windy City. All barriers wereremoved when the Mayor, the unionsand industry, found a common denomi-nator. Two million dollars of unionfunds have been committed to thebuilding of a prefabrication plant. TheU.S. Gypsum Co. is furnishing theirproducts. City Hall has not allowedbuilding codes or regulations to stand inthe way.

Any private projects, using newtechnologies, have gone forward withequal success.

Temporary but indisposableWorld War II brought an acceptance

of the concept of temporary buildings.Some twenty years later, many are stillwith us. They were not so temporary asto be disposable which at some pointthey should have been. Research is nowbeing applied to the technology of dis-posable buildings for housing and foreducation buildings of polyester resinsso easily ;nstalled and inexpensive thatthey may be literally thrown away.They would be constructed of inter-changeable parts, and could be disas-sembled and reassembled to the dictatesof new needs. Throw-away architecturemay sound abhorent, especially to anarchitect, but it may have a real andimportant place in the evolution of

special-use facilities of the future. Inany era of radical change, it may beentirely possible that "disposable"facilities will more accurately reflectthe needs, than the "temporary" ones,with their habit of lasting too long, or ofpermanent buildings when equaled withobsolescence.

We are all familiar with the wealthof teaching devices now marketed andwidely used.

We have not, however, reached thetime when most information transac-tions with the student may be negoti-ated through terminals located at home,in dormitories, or other stations remotefrom where the information is stored;when laser beams may record thousandsof pages of material on a single sheet.

Nor when we are at the outer limitsrather than at the beginning of acomputer age.

Against this potential of techno-logical progress, who is willing to acceptthe burden of prophesy? Who canaccurately predict the programs orfacility requirements of the future?

We don't need to wait in order toprovide buildings that are adaptable,within reason, to coping with the prob-able and even barely possible future andyet not be so inappropriately "flexible"that they are shapelessly unresponsiveto immediate needs.

I believe that we are all basicallyaware of the revolutionary changes ineducation, of the urban crisis, and theneed for advanced technologies.

I n 1952 and before, workshopswere being held on these subjects andmany articles have been published.There has been wide dissemination ofthe results of subsequent research.

The prime objective is to eliminatethe senseless repeat of factors out-moded by advancement of social andeducational reform, and to discover,

understand and use the technologiesthat will lead us to accomplishmentsfaster, better and more.

In this age and country of the mostrapidly developing technology theworld has ever knownwhere industryis revolutionizing its techniques everyfew years, the technology of buildinglags far behind.

Even so, there are far moreresources available to us than we seemwilling to use.

indicate that there are no problems thatare not subject to solutions.

Witness the new, single family,instant-housing anncunced by MayorDaley and the Chicago HousingAuthority. When weighed against thecitv's established building codes, unior.jurisdictions and normal financing pro-,-edures, it is as improbable a project asone could imagine.

An over-riding need, plus auto-mation, have spawned this commitmentto erect 2,000 or more prefab, modularunits a year, for sale to disadvantaged inthe Windy City. All barriers wereremovtd when the Mayor, the unionsand industry, found a common denomi-nator. Two million dollars of unionfunds have been committed to thebuilding of a prefabrication plant. TheU.S. Gypsum Co. Is furnishing theirproducts. City Hall hz., not allowedbuilding codes or regu!ations to stand in

the way.Any private projects, using new

technologies, have gone forward withequal success.

Temporary but indisposableWorld War II brought an acceptance

of the concept of temporary buildings.Some twenty years later, many are stillwith us. They wen not so temporary asto be disposable which at some pointthey should have been. Research is nowbeing applied to the technology of dis .posable buildings fur housing and ,oreducation buildings of polyester resinsso easily installed and inexpensive thatthey may be literally thrown away.They would be constructed of interchangeable parts, and could be disas-sembled and reassembled to the dictatesof n-wv needs. Throw-away architecturemay sound abhorent, especially to anarchitect, but it may have a real andimportant place in the evolution of

special-use facilities of the future. In

any era of idical change, it may beentirely possible that "disposable"facilities will more accurately reflectthe needs, than the "temporary" ones,with their habit of lasting too long, or ofpermanent buildings when equaled with

obsolescence.We are all familiar with the wealth

of teaching devices now marketed andwidely uwd.

We have not, however, reached thetime when most information transac-tions with the student may Le negoti-ated through terminals located at home,

in dormitories, or other stations remotefrom where the information is stored;when laser beams may record thousandsof pages of material on a single sheet.

Nor when we are at the outer limitsrather than at the beginning of a

computer age.Against this potential of techno-

logical progress, who is willing to acceptthe burden of prophesy? Who canaccurately predict the programs orfacility requirements of the future?

We don't need to wait in order toprovide buildings that are adaptable,within reason, to coping with the prob-able and even barely posyble future andyet r ot be so inappropriately "flexible"that they are shapelessly unresponsiveto immediate needs.

I believe that we are all basicallyaware of the revolutionary changes in

education, of the urban crisis, and theneed for advanced technologies.

In 1952 and before, workshopswere being held on these subjects and

many articles have been published.There has been wide dissemination of

the results of subsequent researcn.The prime objective is to eliminate

the coseless repeat of factors out-, loded by advancement of social andeducational reform, and to discover,

understand and use the technologiesthat will lead us to accomplishmentsfaster, better and more.

In this age and country of the mostrapidly developing technology the

world has ever krown where industryis revolutionizing its techniques everyfew years, the technology of buildinglags far behind.

Even so, there are far moreresources available to us than we seemwilling to use.
