 SCHOOL SITE
DEVELOPMENT
• A graphic presentation of the
Site Development Program is
referred to as Site Development
Plan. Its main function is to
show the school site in its
present status and the current
program period.
 Physical
Requirements
1. Principles in the Preparation of
the Site Development Plan.
The principle in the preparation
of the Site Development Plan is
that all physical structures with
similar functions shall be grouped
together.
 Physical
Requirements
2. Layout of Buildings and Other
Structures.
The layout of the buildings and
other structures, which are the
most expensive physical facilities
in the school, is critical in
preparing the Site Development
Plan.
 Physical
Requirements
3. Arrangement of Buildings.
Buildings shall be arranged to
facilitate cross ventilation by
exposing the window sides to the
direction of prevailing breezes
which is generally northeast-
southeast.
 Physical
Requirements
4. Site Limitations.
When there are site limitations,
such as the unfavorable area
and/or shape of the site, prevent
the proper solar orientation of
buildings, economical alternatives
shall be resorted to.
 Physical
Requirements
5. Acoustic Barriers.
Plant tree and shrub barriers
between building and street, if
feasible. Trees and shrubs
between the buildings and street
will serve as acoustic barriers.
 Physical
Requirements
6. Sun Path.
Study variations in the sun path
between June 21 and December
21, especially at 12:00 o’clock
noon must be noted as lower
latitude sites get more sun on the
north side on June 21.
 Physical
Requirements
7. Local Wind Patterns.
Cross Ventilation. If available,
request from Pagasa, or any
agency, specific monthly rose
wind diagram or monthly wind
patterns for a particular site or
region.
 Physical
Requirements
8. Sun screens, Vertical Louvers and
Green Walls (vertical gardens).
It may be necessary to design
temporary or permanent sun shade
elements (such as planted trees, sun
screens, vertical louvers, green
walls/vertical gardens) to prevent
solar heat gain.
 Physical
Requirements
9. The distances between
buildings shall be such that
ventilation is not obstructed,
natural illumination is not
impeded and sound does not
carry into nearby buildings.
 Physical
Requirements
10. The recommended setback
of the school from the street
line is five (5) meters to
sufficiently reduce intrusive
sound.
 Physical
Requirements
11. There should be provision
for open space in each school
with an area big enough to
hold the total population of the
school.
