Elementary Educational Specifications Format, Montgomery County Public Schools.

The Montgomery County Public School (MCPS) system has created a procedure for guiding the architectural design and construction of elementary school buildings that document staff representatives can use when reviewing drawings and specifications for the facility. The document is divided into three sections: the first lists the type of spaces and square footage required; the second describes the general design, location, and specific requirements for each type of instructional space in accordance with MCPS standards; and the third identifies the unique program needs of the school's students and staff where the planning advisory committee has recommended modifications or additions to the basic program requirements.
