of High School Students.
May 2012
2012
A project commissioned by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology - Japan
Committee for Study of Case Examples in Response to the Revisions to the Guidelines for Designing High School Facilities
Introduction
In March 2011, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and
Technology (MEXT) revised the Guidelines for Designing High School Facilities.
Prior to that revision, notification was made of the revisions to the Courses of
Study for High Schools in March 2009. The revised Courses of Study was partially
put into effect in FY2009, and it will take full effect starting from students
entering high school in FY2013. To respond to the revisions in the Courses of
Study and to keep pace with various changes in social circumstances, the
Guidelines were also revised.
For the purpose of preparing a booklet that collects case examples that clearly
demonstrate use of the revised Guidelines for Designing High School Facilities,
the Committee for Study of Case Examples in Response to the Revisions to the
Guidelines for Designing High School Facilities was established in December
2010 at the request of MEXT.
The Committee decided to compile A Collection of Exemplary Designs of High
School Facilities - Based on the Revision of Guidelines for Designing High School
Facilities to introduce high schools that had already put into practice important
perspectives enunciated in the revision, while also compiling A Collection of
Exemplary Designs of High School Facilities – Planning, Improvement and
Ingenuities for Creating Distinctive Schools to introduce cases helpful for
designing high school facilities beyond the key points of the revision.
These booklets provide descriptions of school facilities. With a view to
attracting greater attention to school facilities from those involved with the
operation of schools, including school personnel and the parents of students,
photos and diagrams are also presented, together with comments from school
heads, school personnel and students.
It is sincerely hoped that this booklet will be used nationwide for improving the
educational environment on the basis of local circumstances, including the specific
conditions found at each school.

Student-driven School Building Refurbishment Plan
A model case of participatory public facility development
Aomori Prefectural Hirosaki Technical High School
Course: Specialized courses (architecture, etc.)
Number of classes/students: 28/903
Owner: Aomori Prefecture
Location: 6-2 Mayacho, Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture
Type of work: Refurbishment
Site area: 26,640 m2
Total floor area: 5,866 m2
Completion: Mar. 2004
■ Aim of the Planning and Development
○ Implemented as a model case of “Study of Systems for Community-based Planning for Public Facilities (Aomori
Prefecture Investigative Research Project to Promote Policy Formation)”
○ Developing a “School Building Refurbishment Plan” for administration/classroom buildings in an architecture course
incorporating the opinions of users who are students and teachers.
■ Planning Process
(1) Workshop of students and teachers
(2) Examination using CAD and other tools
Workshops were held by students and teachers as users with the aim of enhancing
the function and amenity of the administration/classroom building. The workshops
were led by a research team of third-year students of the architecture course.
They examined the number of necessary classrooms and considered
shared use of a drawing room, securement of spaces including
functional storage, functional layout of rooms and connection of the
spaces.
(3) Presentation of the refurbishment plan
The plan was presented after a process including case
research of other high-school facilities in addition to
(1) and (2), and with the cooperation of the Aomori
Prefecture and Housing Studies Laboratory, Faculty
of Education, Hirosaki University. The deliverables
were reflected in the master plan of the design work
that followed.
(4) Summary of the “School building
refurbishment plan”
1) Layout of the library room and the career
guidance room with consideration of access
from classrooms
2) Layout of elective subject rooms that can be
divided
3) Layout of a salon for students and a free
space
4) Open and bright wooden interior and wider
hallways

■ Key Points of the Plan/Development
○ Development without using a temporal school
building was made possible by a master plan to
connect four independent hollow square
classroom buildings, an administration building,
a cafeteria building and a new gym using
Com-malls
(Communication
malls)
and
connecting corridors.
Each classroom building has a structure that uses four 9m x
9m units both in width and depth of the building while having
a different number and structure of classrooms.

East Com-mall
Com-malls represent major traffic lines connecting eastern and western buildings. They are wide and have glass walls for enjoying all four seasons and various
forms of communication.
The multipurpose spaces are small alcoves
facing a well hole of their respective classroom
buildings. They can be used for socializing and
presentations.
The Media Center consists of a library and a
media lab unified by a well hole. The library
space has a feeling of openness that is created
by its curved walls. The interior and exterior of
the room are visually connected.
The cafeteria is divided to multiple spaces by
poles that can be used simultaneously by junior
high and high school students. It is designed for
loose segregation between junior/senior high
students and teachers.
○ Wide hallways and stairways facilitate movement between classes, reducing a burden on students.
○ The media center is an open ceiling space that is made comfortable with careful use of indirect/direct lighting and natural
light. Many students use the space during lunchtime and after school.
○ Communication is developing across grades in the multipurpose space and cafeteria.

○ Learning, living and exchange spaces to experience the changing seasons
Hub Spaces are for interactions among students in the entire grade.
Sunlight and air come through two light courts.
On the rooftop, students engage in farming projects with the cooperation of
farms. The garden is used for a variety of activities including observing
crop growth, soil analysis, nutritional analysis, and living things as well as
cooking practice.
○ Space composition to support independent learning
The Library takes up two floors to respond to individualized learning,
group learning and information gathering. The lower floor is “Forest
of Knowledge” that provides materials and serves as a place for
educational support and investigative learning.
In the science laboratory (Biology room) large tables are arranged parallel
to the platform so that each student can easily carry out experiments and
practice using microscopes, etc. The room can also be used for lectures,
with students facing the front of the room.
○ Media Corners are comfortable exchange places set up on each floor. They attract students during breaks and after school
for self-motivated learning and communication.
○ Being easily accessible and having a relaxed atmosphere, the library is popular among students as a place for individual and
group study.
○ Vegetables grown on the rooftop garden are provided in the cafeteria as part of food education.

○ Transparent and secure space
Planning and
Development
The entire staff room is glass-walled to reduce the
sense of distance between teachers and students and to
create an environment for students to consult the
teacher easily. In addition, a communication lounge is
created in a space that attracts attention of students in
everyday life before the staff room to facilitate
communication between students and teachers.
The career guidance room is partially glass-walled. The room is equipped
with racks to store data concerning advancement and career. There are
personal computers in the room to enable students to research universities,
etc.
The glass-walled school lounge on the 1st floor has an open atmosphere and a
view of the greenery. The lounge is a space for students to relax and interact.
Because the staff room is glass-walled, a space for
teachers to relax is provided at the back of the staff room.
○ Because they can see teachers consulting other students in the communication lounge, students feel free to ask their
teacher’s for advice more often.

the cooling load (night purge)
External blinds block strong solar radiation heat from the sun
while securing ventilation.
○ Implementing environmental education in collaboration with universities, etc.
Students learned about environment-friendly architecture and studied the basic
concept
of
environment-focused
refurbishment
through
the
“Environment-focused School Refurbishment Workshop.”
The school held study meetings inviting university staff to expand students’
interest in the environment and enrich their view of the environment.
Before the refurbishment, students visited the building to be
refurbishd and received explanations about the content of
the refurbishment.
○ While implementing environment-focused refurbishment, the school provided environmental education, including lectures
concerning the environment and classes on specific techniques of environment-focused refurbishment.
