Design for a prefabricated school shown in exterior perspective. At center, four modules comprise structure, which is labeled “ROOM 7” on a placard on right façade (which consists of vertical panels of pink, red, orange, and yellow). Five-sided roof caps overhang slightly, protecting double-door entry at center and windows with horizontal slats receding toward rear. One figure stands just inside the door while two small children approach from left; another two are about to mount stairs leading to entryway. At left, another prefab structure shown in distance; at right, bicycle seen parked in front of masonry foundation. Pink, red, orange, yellow, light yellow, and green Cello-Tak layered over original drawing.
