New York State Technology Education Facilities Planning Guide PDF Download

The Vocational Education Act of 1963 provides Federal funds for the construction and remodeling of vocational facilities. The emphasis upon the area vocational school and the types of programs specified in the Act will necessitate programs of planning quite different from those normally associated with the usual elementary, secondary, or community college units. The intent of this booklet is, therefore, to acquaint local planners--board members, school administrators, citizen committees, architects, and other interested persons--with the aspects of the Act which pertain to construction of area vocational schools and with basic principles involved in planning such facilities. The material has been obtained from a wide variety of sources and condensed in outline form deliberately to serve as a ready reference, particularly for those individuals or groups who might be involved in the early stages of planning.
