New Minimum Design Standards: What Cabe Is Looking For

摘要

The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) has warned that Building Schools for the Future could result in thousands of poorly designed schools. The organisation said its design panel -supported by the Government - had looked at 24 designs and only three were rated 'good' or 'excellent'. Twenty-one were 'not yet good enough'or'mediocre'. The panel said many featured poor site planning and school grounds dominated by car access and parking. Some were like 'edge of town retail parks' rather than 'lively education establishments'.
