Architectural Narrative

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

The improvement project was presented to the Doug-las County School District Board in November 2012. The project was approved at that meeting and the board requested some additional items be added to the project. These additions included:

Revisions to the acoustics in the Main GymRestrooms at the new CTE Building

As the design progressed, the design team further re- ned the scope of work to include additional renova-tions at the 500 Building and Commons to meet the re-quirements of the Education Speci cation and intents of the renovation project. As a result of the inclusion of the Board requested changes and upgrades to the design, the project as presented to the Board required modi cation to remain within the project budget.

In order to accomplish this, the following modi ca-tions were made to the overall scope of the project:

The New CTE Building has been eliminatedThe Welding Shop remains in Building 500Four classrooms were added to the STEM building

A summary of the revisions and changes follows.

COMMONS AND ADMINISTRATION (PAGE 6)

The revisions to the Commons presented at Sche-matic Design have been further developed to include improved lighting, better acoustics, and audio/visual capabilities. The renovation includes new lighting throughout the ceiling and perimeter to brighten up both the oor level and the space above as well as a new acoustical panel ceiling to improve light re ec-tion and sound issues. A new audio/visual room has been created and the room will include new projection screen, speakers, and locations for A/V connections.

The updated design incorporates a dedicated snack bar to meet the needs of after hours activities. This space is separate from the kitchen/servery area, but convenient to the Gym Entrance. The previous loca-tion did not allow for the space to be open without access to the Servery.

The adjacent Administration area has been updated to provide adequate of ce and storage space. The cen-tral administrative space has been recon gured to in-crease visibility and provide a link to the athletics sec-retary. Internal circulation has been revised to provide better access between of ces and incorporate sepa-rate waiting areas for administrators. A small storage room for test storage has been created separate from general storage minimizing the access needs for the secure vault.

BUILDING 500 MODIFICATIONS (Page 10)

A number of additional upgrades were incorporated into the renovation of Building 500 to completely refresh the building. The work includes full replace-ment of carpet, ceiling tile, and paint throughout the interior. The student toilet rooms will be renovated to meet ADA requirements and include new xtures and partitions. The exterior work will include the addition of a new roof, replacement of the wood fascia and sof- t with pre nished metal panels, and replacement of the concrete sidewalk on the north side of the building to correct the site drainage issues.

It was determined during the Design Development that the Welding Shop would remain in Building 500. The shop will remain on the east end of the build-ing, but the space will be completely remodeled to meet the requirements of the Education Speci cation. This renovation includes the Welding Shop, Class-room, Shop Storage, separate Tank Storage Room and Air Compressor Room, and screened exterior yard for material storage. Adjacent to the Welding Shop is a recon gured Project Room and recon gured Electrical Room with exterior access only.

A number of minor modi cations were also incorporat-ed into the building plan to better address the various uses within. A Special Education Suite was created us-ing the space formerly included in the entryway allow-ing the Teacher Workroom to remain in its existing lo-cation. The Silk Screen Shop and Auto Shop were both modi ed to allow for exterior access only - eliminat-ing the ability for odor transmission into the hallway. That change combined with the mechanical system replacement will address the odor problem currently present in the building.

GYMNASIUM ACOUSTICAL REVISIONS

At the direction of the Board, a preliminary analysis of the acoustics in the main gymnasium was completed during the Design Development phase. The analysis determined that the issues with the sound are a result of an undersized sound system and lack of acousti-cal treatment throughout the room. To remedy this situation the gymnasium will be provided with new acoustical treatment at the upper walls and ceiling to minimize the reverberation that affects sound intel-ligibility.

Additionally, recommendations are being provided for audio/visual equipment that is appropriate for the gymnasium activities.

REST ROOMS AT CTE BUILDING

The initial presentation for the improvement project included a new CTE building that did not include rest rooms. The design of the CTE building was revised to include rest rooms that could be accessed internally and externally to serve the modular classrooms.

However, the as the design progressed, it was deter-mined that the CTE building would not be included in the project. Therefore this issue was eliminated.



The site development around the STEM Building in-cludes the modi ed entry sequence previously pre-sented as well as development of a plaza space off the commons for student use. The plaza will be an open paved area with a perimeter seating wall and landscaping. Concrete walkways between buildings will de ne the perimeter of the plaza area. Addition-al site development has been provided north of the STEM building to provide an exterior classroom area adjacent to the STEM ex room.

PARKING RECONFIGURATION

The existing parking lot will be re-striped to separate the student, visitor, and bus traf c. This includes the creation of student drop off areas on the south and east sides of the campus and elimination of vehicular traf c adjacent to the STEM Building. A raised cross-walk will be provided from Highway 88 across the parking area to increase student safety.

STEM BUILDING (Page 12)

The STEM Building size was increased to compensate for the classrooms eliminated with the Welding Shop remodel within the 500 Building. An additional four standard classrooms have been incorporated on the west side of the building. The additional classrooms were accommodated by adding a single classroom on the rst oor and stacking an additional three class-rooms above at the second oor. By adding these classrooms, the STEM Building design utilizes the max-imum amount of site available for a building.
