Programming Documents for Pre-K for SA - The City of San Antonio

Foreword
Facility programming and Consulting (FPC) was engaged
to prepare the architectural program of requirements for the Pre-K
4 SA Early Childhood Centers - East and Westside Centers for
the City of San Antonio. The architectural program is intended to give the
design team a “workbook” from which to design that lists all of the requirements
for each space within the building. The architectural program is not
intended to influence the creativity of the design team by advocating any
design style or procedure. All diagrams and drawings contained herein
are intended to illustrate the relationships involved, and are provided as
an example to augment the text. The design team should not consider any
of the diagrams as a design directive.
