This study was carried out to obtain basic data for architectural plans on the facilities relocation needed in operating the departmentalized classroom system at the latest built middle schools. For this, floor plans of ten middle schools built in Gwangju after 2009 were analyzed about space configuration and area holding state. The process of this study is as follows: (1) To investigate proper area holding state for operating variation type, this study analyzed area of departmentalized classrooms, homebases and teachers' offices. (2) To investigate space configuration for operating variation type, this study analyzed composition of departmentalized classrooms, learning-support facilities and homebases. (3) On the base of those analyses, this study proposed some directions for architectural plans on the facilities relocation.

This study is performed to understand a trend of preference about classroom for special purposes related with elementary school relocation. It is anayzed based on the questionnaire of teachers at work in the two schools having similar educational environment. The results showed that it is desirable to locate rooms for science or practice in low story and music room in the lowermost or uppermost story. Rooms for art, linguistic education and computer had not limited any place. It is shown that the scale of each preparation room is significantly different with each grade and more large scale is needed in higher grade. These results reflect that the present arrangement of classrooms for special purposes is not adequate and require more reasonable arrangement with the grade in the architectural plans for relocation-needed elementary schools.
