Today, there have

been great competitions

among schools whether it is a

private or public school when

it comes to a quality of good

education. The increasing

number of studentspopulation contributes as

factor for a greater demand

of providing not just sufficient

but also efficient educational

facilities. It has been one ofthe main problems that the

economy faces.

Paranaque Science High

School (PSHS) was first establishedas an Annex of Paranaque

National High School (PNHS)

(formerly Paranaque Municipal

High School) at Kay Talise Street,Sucat Road in the year 1990. The

Science High School had one

building with only 12 classrooms for

1st year-4th year students. Recentlyin 2011, PSHS was relocated at Sto.

Nino, Paranaque because of the

petition by the school

administration to have its owncampus and formally detached

from PNHS

Paranaque Science

High School (PSHS) was

recently relocated into a

redeveloped warehouse

turned into a school building

at Sto. Nino, Sucat for the

sake of having it separated

and to have its own campus

from its annex ; PNHS.

Since the said

special science high school

was detached from PNHS, it

caused lack of facilities like

laboratories for eachspecialized courses and

rooms became populous

leading to a less number of

students that could enroll forthe special science

curriculum.

1. What facilities are to be

added in the proposed

Science High School?

2. What should be the site criteria

for school?

3. How can the School design

contribute to learning?

4. How does the physical

environment affect the learning, attention and critical

thinking of the students of

talented students?

5. What architectural design

solutions will help to enhance

the quality of learning of the

students?

Paranaque Science High School is located

along Col. E De Leon, Brgy. Sto Nino, Sucat Rd.

Paranaque.

Paranaque Science High School is a schoolof excellence but does not have the all the

necessary facilities to provide all needs for a science

high school students. The new building was a old

warehouse redeveloped to be a school campus.

School was relocated in Sto. Nino in 2010 tohave its independency in running the schooladministration and to formally detached fromParanaque National High School loacated at Kay.Talise Street, Sucat Rd. Paranaque.

The proposed

study aims to provide the

City of Paranaque a state-

of the art Science building

for gifted students of

Paranaque and at thesame time, a conducive

place for learning with the

special facilities and

design that will suit for the

unique and talented

students of Paranaque.

The proposal wants to bringforward the special science high school

into a higher level or quality of

education by means of

providing with special facilities and

additional spaces for a high quality of

education in order to achieve global

standards.

to be able to launch a different

planning approach of a school to

achieve full acquirement of learning

with the special Math and Science

Curriculum with an efficient and

conducive environment fit for a special

math and science high school that will

stand out among the public schools

within Paranaque in order to inspireincoming high school students to apply

for scholarship in studying in PSHS.

The proposal incorporates the

organization of spaces and

facilities that shall be needed in

a special science and Math

curriculum. It will only focus on

the problems related to

designing a school with regards

to its safety, facilities and

services

The following are the needs of the facility for the school:

Adequate number of classrooms and specialized classrooms like drafting rooms, laboratories, AVR

Passive ventilation to provide comfort for the users

Spacious school canteen and sufficient parking slots to avoid congestion within the campus

Separate entrance with other schools

Healthy and Safe location

Conducive Environment

Pocket areas, Physical Activity Areas (Outdoor Environment)

Bigger lot space to provide all the facilities for a special science curriculum school.

Space organizations and security control

Paranaque Science High School providesinadequate spaces for a functional special high school thataffects the performance of the students in learning.

The researcher observed that the:

school vicinity is located at the end part of Paranaque whichmakes it to other students too far to travel every day.

Lack of specialty rooms in the existing school like auditoriums,laboratories, parking space, garden and school canteenwhich makes the existing school crowded.

Offices need to have adequate spaces for each division.

The researcher recommends a relocation of thesaid Paranaque Science High School to have enough spaceand own location to provide all the facilities it needs to catermore students.

STANDARD REQUIREMENTS

School Mapping Exercises shall be a pre-requisite in the selection of a suitable school site.

1. Location/Environment

2. Design and Safety Standards.

3. Accessibility

4. Topography

(1) Soil Condition.

(2) Size

(3) Heat Island

1. ACCESSIBILITY. the site should

be easily accessible by the

users (like students, teachers)

and within walking distance.

2. IMAGE/VISUAL QUALITY. the

quality of the existing

neighborhood surrounding the

school needs to complement

rather the other way around.

the school site should be

located in an area with a

strong positive identity and

image.

3. VISIBILITY. A prominent

location is required to attract a

large number of people to the

school. A highly visible site

along a major street with easy

accessibility is ideal.

4. DEMOGRAPHIC PATTERNS.

the selected site should be

located where potential users

can easily reach it and

adjacent to other prime

location of the city.

5. SITE CAPACITY. the site should

be large enough to provide a

sufficient area footprint; zoningrequirements.

6.NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY.

will the proposed structure be a

good neighbor? is the

neighborhood fully developed? if

there is development in the future,

will it be compatible with the

mission and goals of the project?

7. LEGAL MATTERS. the existence of

easements or other restrictions can

serve to minimize the buildable

area of a site.

8. UTILITIES AVAILABILITY. to avoid

extra costs, the presence of

electrical, water, gas, sewer, and

other services are available.

9. PHYSIOGRAPHY. the suitability of

the soil, the topography of the site

and orientation are

considerations.

The Macro Setting

Luzon has the highest number of youth and

schools established in the country, meaning it

has the most number of students and

educational needs. In Luzon alone, the

Natonal Capital Region caters the number of

students than in Visayas and Mindanao

region.

Topography

The city is relatively flat andsituated along the coastlin areas of six(6) barangays namely: Baclaran,Tambo, Don Galo, Sto. Nino, La Huertaand San Dionisio. The other barangayssuch as Moonwalk, Vitalez, San Isisdro, BFhomes, Don Bosco, Marcelo Green,Merville, Sun Valley, Sant Antonio, SanMartin de Porres have an elevationranging from 10 degrees to 35 degreesabove water level.

Climate

Paranaque experiences thesame climate weather condition withother cities in Metro Manila. Two distinctseasons: wet season from July toSpetmeber an dry season for the rest ofthe year. The city enjoys annual rainfallof 1.822 mm and 34.4* celciustemperature, a relative humidity ofseventy six (76%) and a three (3)mile/sec speed if southeast wind.

The site is a corner lot of a major road and minor road. Themajor road is Dr. A. Santos Avenue where different types ofvehicles pass by.

The site is situated facing the along the east of north. Thesun path diagram of the site is showed below, the sunrise isexpected on its east direction until the sun sets on its west.

The figure shows the visual representation of the sun.

The development of the site has allotted requirements for the feasibility of theconstruction. The total area of the site has been calculated to get the building footprint;the site occupancy; paved and unpaved open spaces; parking area; easements; andlandscape area. The computation was derived from the given formulas of the PhilippineBuilding Code. As a result, the maximum building footprint was fourteen thousand fourhundred sixty-nine (96,642) square meters.
