The Ohio School Design Manual
The Ohio School Design Manual is a comprehensive set of standard guidelines for the design of school facilities. The manual was developed by OSFC staff, in cooperation with architects and nationally recognized educational planners. The design manual sets necessary minimum standards of quality for the state’s educational facilities and provides a flexible set of guidelines to serve the diverse needs of local school communities and the children they serve. The design manual is updated annually.
A complete copy of the Ohio School Design Manual is available either in a 2 volume set or on CD-ROM. The cost is $100 for the 2 volume set or $10 for the CD.
