contents Planning and Managing the Physical Environment of Public Institutions. EFL Reports No. 29. Building Conversion Community Centers Community Education Community Schools Declining Enrollment Elementary Secondary Education Flexible Facilities Foreign Countries Public Facilities School Community Relationship Shared Facilities Shared Services Social Services This issue contains the second of a two-part feature about European community school centers. The principal difference between the European and the American community school movements is that in almost all European nations the federal government supports them and takes an active part in their development. The article focuses on the forms of facilities and their administrative organization in Sweden and France. In Sweden most new developments are designed around small town centers. An example is given of a town center that contains a high school, medical center, sports hall, library, restaurant, and a complex of shops and stores with adjacent residential sections. The library, gymnasium, assembly hall, and medical center were designed to serve school and community simultaneously. In another Swedish town, community and school facilities are integrated into housing developments. The schools can be converted into housing when the need for primary schools begins to decline. The Kulturhuset is an expanded library, art gallery, and municipal services center built in the middle of Stockholm. In France new town projects have community facilities grouped around or close to a shopping center. The buildings and their programs are designed for intergenerational use according to the activity rather than according to the age or social characteristics of the users. (Author/MLF)
