Design Criteria
to create design criteria for classrooms we should consider :-
- The general trend of the seasons is the northern trend to avoid dazzle
within the afternoon semester, if this condition can be met, window
treatments can be allowed.
-Maximum height (ground +4 roles) taking into account building laws to
be able to escape in emergency.
-Services are placed so that they are close to the different elements of the
building.
- Distance from sources of noise and pollution .
- Prefers natural lighting and natural ventilation to maintain the health of students.
Openings :-
- Low-session vents are positioned vertically on the preferred
wind direction to provide maximum ventilation .
- Vents that enter the air are low while the vents that produce
min max air are high in order to increase the speed of air flow.
2.5m 3m - High-session openings placed in the direction of un preferred
0.60m 0.90m winds.
0.90m 1.20m - A window session that is high when it overlooks the corridor.
- It is preferable to place the windows so that they are on both
2m 2.5m sides for continuous and suitable ventilation.
Toilets :-
7m 9m - Contains toilets and hand washing and drinking
fountains.
2.7m 2.4m - The correct direction for her south and every role

1- Moquette is good for flooring, moisture control, slippage and anti-sound when stirring.
2-Ceramics are not grainy for flooring because it causes slippage and bloom.
3-Rubber cork can be used in floors and walls as moisture, heat, sound and softness when collisions.
4-It's not like using screaming colors and it's lacy.
5-Wood is liked as an endo-wall material to prevent dazzle.
6- When using matte sinks, white prefers the ceiling to reflect the light, pistachio, yellow and lead light walls.
Some recommendations for end materials :-
-The final finishing layer is considered to be durable and withstands shocks and continuous cleaning .
- Floor materials should be easy to clean and do not look when transporting school furniture, heat resistant and anti-slip like rubber cork .
- Light colors are preferred in the classrooms and white roof paint is preferred to help reflect light and use matte paints until we reduce dazzle .

sound quality
Some important points to maintain sound quality within the classroom : -
- Rectangular and semi-deviant halls are better at distributing sound than circular and square.
- Normal sound arrives in the direction of its source 20:30 m .
- Normal sound in the side direction reaches 13 m.
- Normal sound in the back direction reaches 10 m.
- Appalachin wall binding can be used to absorb shocks and prevent sound penetration.
- Take care of the materials manufacturing cutters and separations so as not to allow sound to arrive from one
chapter to another and storage rooms can be made to help.

Lockers and Changing Rooms
Function and Users
Function: Lockers are meant to store valuable and extra materials
Users: students, PE teachers
Space Requirements
Male: One WC, one washbasin, one urinal per 10-15 users.
Female: One WC per 7-10 users, one washbasin per 15 users.
Changing rooms with a floor area of up to 30 m2 must have
a clear height of at least 2.30 m 2 and at least 2.50 m if the
floor area exceeds 30 m2. The basic floor area of a changing
room should be at least 6 m2.
Equipment Requirements
• locker units that are 0.5 m deep, 0.3 m
wide and arranged in 1.8 m high columns,
some should be wider (say 0.4 m x 1.8 m)
to accommodate larger sports bags.
•Showers on opposing walls should be
spaced 2.5 m apart to permit a central
circulation route and will require a
separate dry off area to one end.
Guidelines for widths of circulation routes:
for up to 250 people, min 1.65m and
usually 1.80 m; for up to 400 people, min.
2.20 m and usually 2.40 m.

The landscaped village of timber modular-
housing pods, with communal amenities and
a central social and learning hub, is based
within the Dyson Malmesbury Campus in
Wiltshire. As well as establishing a new
typology in student accommodation, the
project breaks ground in the design,
masterplanning and precision engineering of
truly modular prefabricated building
technologies for rapid construction.

The village is designed to accommodate up to 50 Dyson Institute of

Engineering and Technology students
plus visiting Dyson staff. The high-
quality living pods are fabricated from
cross-laminate timber (CLT) in a
factory for rapid on-site assembly. The
pods are arranged in units, two to
three-stories high, to create a
welcoming social space and an
appealing addition to the campus
alongside the larger industrial buildings.

It consists of several units, and each unit is a

group of rectangular prisms, stacked on top of
each other
Certain clusters involve some pods cantilevered by up to three metres,
pushing the structural properties
of CLT. The pods are also designed
to harness CLT’s thermal massing,
and provide high quality and
energy efficient living spaces. In
terms of aesthetics, the timber has
been left exposed through the
pods’ internal spaces, including the
kitchens and bathrooms, to create
warm and natural living
environments throughout.
