Career and Technical Educa&on (CTE)

School Type:

Func&onal Area Descrip&ons

Career and technical educa�on (CTE), formerly

professional technical studies (PTS), offers career-

related courses to middle and high school students.

Schools offer different programs based on school size

and staffing. The facili�es for these programs are

separated into three sizes:

• Small CTE Lab: Video communica�ons (MS & HS),

health services (HS)

• Medium CTE Lab: Business educa�on, computer

science (HS)

• Large CTE Lab: Family consumer science (MS),

culinary arts (HS), modular technology/CADD/

CISCO/CSS (HS)

The chart shown for planning requirements should be

used for space alloca�on during the planning phase of

a school construc�on project. The architect should

work with the school administra�on to determine the

specific programs to be provided at each school. The

number of CTE spaces provided must correspond with

the student enrollment, but the programs offered will

be determined by staff availability and student

interest. Refer to Addi�onal Planning Requirements on

page eight.

Future flexibility should be kept in mind when

10 Choral Room

The choral room serves as an area for choral music

rehearsal. Ceiling height should be 16’-0” (4.88 m) to

24’- 0” (7.32 m). Portable risers are preferred instead

of poured concrete �ers. The larger concrete structure

reduces the room volume and increases loudness. The

space beneath the portable risers, if leB open, will not

reduce the cubic volume.

The computer/keyboard lab is an area for students to

prac�ce on MIDI computers and keyboards. � Band or Choral Office: ACT, Virginia Beach City Public
