“It is customary to class Henry Barnard (the first United States Commissioner of Education), along with Horace Mann, as one of the great reformers of antebellum public schooling...Barnard is credited with defining the character of school architecture in the United States by integrating the concerns of architecture with pedagogy. He emphasized school “architecture” over school “building” by suggesting that the architect is ultimately concerned with the cultural, spiritual, and humane value of his work, while the builder is primarily concerned with its physical structure, reasonable cost, and the service of function” (McClintock & McClintock, 1970).
