Generic Repeat Design (GRD) buildings provide the full range of classroom and ancillary accommodation that is achieved using the traditional competitive procurement route. GRD buildings facilitate speedier delivery of projects, save on design fees and are designed to allow for easy extension if required at a later stage. In relation to a GP room an area of 195 sq. m is provided plus servery, store and W/C areas.

Details of various facilities provided in a new 16-classroom school building are given in Technical Guidance Document-022 available on my Department's website and also in information document Generic Repeat Design Schools:
