Purcellville, Virginia
My dear Mr. Emerick: o
B ot of Jupe 5vd i om herewiit’ — =
handing you data and information gathered by this division concerning
school building costs. ; :
In 1924 we made a rather elaborate and detailed comparison
of school building costs, selecting buildings in different sections of
the State of the multiple story and the single story type, attempting
as far as possible to select buildings of about the same quality of
construction, i.e. miltiple story buildings were selected of brick, with
wood partitions and floors, suditorium, central heating plant, usuelly
of gteam, inside toilets, electric lights, office, library, etc., and
the same conditions maintained in single story structures selected for
comparison. : = —
You will note by referring to the charll under "School Building
" Costs" that according to the N.E.A. Candle of Effieiency in school house
~ planning that in practically every item the single story structure excelled
~ the multiple story structure. By referring to the graphs indicating the
comparative costs you will note that the multiple story structure costs
15.93¢ per cu. ft. while the one story costs 11.40¢ per cu. ft. The multi-
ple story costs $4.62 per sq. ft. of instructional floor area while the
one story costs $3.61 per sq. ft. of instructional floor area. The differ-
ence in thése costs comes about in severel ways. '
- Firgst: The actual corridor space utilized in the one story
plans prepared by this division is negligible while it is necessary to
specify rather expensive corridors in multiple story buildings, and it
costs about as much per sq. ft. of floor area to build corridors as it
costs to build classrooms and auditoriums. - =
Second: The single story type of construction utilizel short =
timbers throughout except in a few cases where long spans are necessary, _
In the major portion of the construction, however, girders resting on piers
run under the classrooms, and & x 10's in 18' lengths are employed for floor
- joists, whereas in the multiple type of constriiction, particularly on the
second floor, it is necessary to use 2 x 12's, 12" o.c., 24" long as floor
joists. These timbers are expensive and difficult to get. For the ceiling
joists and roof rafters we use a lattice truss over the classrooms and can
sefely use 2 x 6's, 12' long, which are relative very inexpensive. =
