FACT: Jn the Southwest, at the time of construction of our first windowless building, conventiorud school construction cost $16.00 per square foot, windowless school construction $9.60 per .square foot.
FACT: Analysis of heating and cooling costs indicates up to 40 percent greater efficiency in the windowless school (tests hy engineering consultant in this field).
FACT: Only in such education structures can safe and constant lighting factors be maintained, almost ideally accommodated to prevent eyestrain on the part of the student (determined by professional consultants in this field).
FACT: Partitions, doors and properly constructed walls give a minimum of 35 decibel noise reduction and provide audio environment with both proper intensity level and reverberation time.
FACT: Maintenance costs are dramatically reduced due to drastically reduced window cleaning and replacement, and painting. Much less dust.
FACT: Perfect audiovisual environment for teaching within the new media framework.
FACT: Feared "claustrophobia" among sttidents failed to materialize. Among almost a dozen such structures currently in use in three communities in eastern New Mexico no such incidence has yet occured. To the contrary students display remarkable esprit de corps regarding their buildings.
FACT: PTA groups in all three communities ■strongly endorse this type of building. Parents are enthusiastic about the buildings; most frequently heard remark— "I wish I could have gone to school in a building like this . . ."
FACT: Faculties are extremely stable. In the Roswell City Schools requests for teacher-transfers from this type of building are extremely rare— an excellent endorsement of this type of facility. Requests for transfer to stich buildings are numerous, with the opinion of these neiv buildings rating high among teachers in the area of these cities.

The design criteria is predicated on the proposition that the process of learning and teaching can best be accomplished in a situation where the participants feel well, see well, and hear well.
In our climate of temperature extremes and oc
casional conditions of air-born dust, adequate, con plete and proper air conditioning is necessary to a complish the requirement of feeling well. Our extrem ly bright skies and sunshine require complete contr of lighting in order to provide a situation where pa ticipants can see well. And acoustical engineering a
