adapted to a grid plan. Low pitched roofs. Irregular
picturesque grouping with central double height assembly hall
with dining area and 3 pairs of lower classrooms opening from
it in three projecting limbs. School offices in smaller
projecting limb. Classrooms grouped so as to form open court-

prototype school which developed the BAC's system to give it
