The authors collected questionnaire data concerning conditions of multipurpose spaces set up in public elementary and junior high schools at the end of March 2006. The results showed that on average about 30% of all the schools had the multipurpose space though regionally the rate was different. And between the elementary schools and junior high schools, the rates of having the multipurpose space, size, and concepts of local administrations were different. We also saw that the number of the newly set up multipurpose spaces is decreasing reflecting the recent economic depression and the decrease of the number of pupils and students. Multipurpose space is indispensable for the teaching activities based on the new educational outlook. The activities can not be fully developed by only applying the excessive classrooms to the multipurpose spaces. To advance the set-up anew, promotion of remodeling as well as new extention and reconstruction of school buildings are needed, and therefore, the research into the mode of remodeling for the desirable multipurpose space will be a matter of importance.
