Can you advise as to the square metres required per student in a resistant materials workshop, as well as space around a machine?
A. The two key website references required are detailed below. Firstly, the ‘teachernet’ site reference provides all of the space requirements for individual machines, i.e. http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/designandtechnology/1_home.cfm?id=4010 Secondly, this site will enable you to access a copy of Building Bulletin 81 which provides you a wealth of relevant information including on page 22 the square metres per student, i.e. http://www.archive2.official-documents.co.uk/document/deps/dfes/81/81.htm If you have any difficulties accessing these sites, simply search on the teachernet website for the first and Google Building Bulletin 81 for the second.
