Notes (3) Furnishing : The panel preferred portable furniture. According to this panel there should
be tables of for laboratory ‘B’ alongwith the provision of under shelves to
keep books etc. In laboratory ‘A’ the size of the tables should be . If it is to
used for chemistry practicals, then it should be painted with acidproof paint. No shelves
are recommended in these tables.
The panel recommended that demonstration table or teacher’s table should have the size
of . It should be on the raised platform of 7" height. It should have sink, gas
and light arrangements for demonstration of experiments. A side cupboard and drawer
may also be provided.
There should be a blackboard of 8’x 3' size near the teacher’s table. The panel considered
black colour as the dull colour and recommended green or brown colour of the Board.
No cupboard is recommended for students. Sinks are recommended in the walls. Thick dark
curtains are hung to make it a darkroom if needed. Provision of other fittings are also made
along the walls for hanging charts, graphs, pictures, and shelves for display of the material.
(4) Construction Material : The panel recommended the use of locally available material for
construction purpose. It will be cheaper. Prefabrication or precasting etc may be employed
to reduce the costly steel and concrete material. The walls can be plastered and ceiling be
white washed. The floor may be cemented preferably with grey cement. Windows should be
iron grilled. Ventilators should have exhaust fans and fly wire on the external face.
(5) Light : Adequate system of light, should be worked out. Ventilation should be such that
there is ample day light. The windows should be 3' high, so that there may be ample light
in the laboratory. The windows should open outside. The window area of 15-20% of the
floor area is considered adequate for light. Artificial light should be avoided as far as possible.
(6) Water and Drainage Facilities : Proper arrangement should be made for water supply. Four
water points with sinks of 12"x 9"x 6" be provided on the walls, on teacher’s table, working
tables and in preparation room. Where water is not available, small drums should be arranged
for storing water. Underground drainage is considered better then uncovered drains.
Laboratories For Intermediate Colleges
At + 2, stage, the science students have to study physics, chemistry and biology etc. Therefore, there
should be separate laboratories in each subject. The laboratories and lecture rooms may be developed
of almost the same type as found in colleges.
The size of each lab depends upon the number of students working at a time in the laboratory and
also as per needs and requirements of the Intermediates colleges. A preparation room and a store
room should be provided in these subject laboratories.
1. Physics Laboratory
Following things should be arranged in physics laboratory :
(1) Working tables of about size alongwith drawers.
(2) One demonstration table of 8’x 4' size, with water and gas fittings.
(3) One chalk board and one sliding board, behind the demonstration table.
(4) Two big sinks in the corners of the laboratory.
