The Ohio facilities construction commission shall establish design specifications for classroom facilities that are appropriate for joint vocational education programs. The specifications shall provide standards for appropriate pupil instruction space but shall not include standards for any vocational education furnishings or equipment that is not comparable to, or the vocational education equivalent of, the furnishings or equipment for which assistance is available to other school districts under sections 3318.01 to 3318.20 of the Revised Code.
Beginning September 1, 2003, from time to time the commission may amend the specifications as determined necessary by the commission; however, any project under sections 3318.40 to 3318.45 of the Revised Code approved by the commission prior to the most recent amendment to the specifications shall not be subject to the provisions of such amendment.
