DepEd Educational Facilities Manual

This Educational Facilities Manual is a revision of the 2007 Educational Facilities Handbook. The Department, through the Physical Facilities and Schools Engineering Division of the Office of Planning Service (PFSED-OPS) saw the urgent need for the revision of this material in the face of a common concern and interest - the challenge of climate change and disaster risk reduction in schools.

This Manual is a product of consultations with DepED Central and regional/division offices, as well as with personages from the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP), Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE), the Heritage Conservation Society, and the Commission on Audit (COA), National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC), the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), and member agencies of the Education in Emergencies cluster. To strengthen its reliability, it was subjected to in-house and field validations with Schools Division Superintendents, School Principals, Physical Facilities Coordinators, and Promotional Staff of the Division Offices.
