| Designer and Owner Comments: |
| Designer Comments: The Elementary School is the second iteration of this prototype designed. The school is divided into two buildings with a connecting corridor. One building houses the academic classrooms, Media Center, Administration, and support spaces. The other structure provides for food services, physical education, art and music. This section was designed to function independently from the classroom section to allow for general use by the community, including the ability to function as a shelter during emergency situations. The current iteration of this facility is designed to provide state recommended programs and space for a 785 student capacity; the original configuration of this prototype allotted space for a student capacity of 805. Both design options include core facilities for 945 students and, additionally, feature an oversized cafeteria that can accommodate 1,040 students. The school is accented with bright colors and spaces that welcome parents and the community. The central courtyard provides a protected outdoor classroom space where instructors can get the students outside, within a secure environment. The academic wing is organized with classrooms grouped so that individual grade levels can be expanded or contracted to accommodate changes in enrollment. The building has a four pipe mechanical system and high efficiency multi-fuel boilers and chillers. Both the heating and cooling systems are designed with two central units (each at 60% capacity), so school can still be held if either a boiler or chiller fails or has to be taken out of service for repairs. The mechanical system combined with a well-insulated thermal envelope makes for an energy efficient building designed to reduce owner operating costs while making required maintenance easier to accomplish. |
| Owner Comments: Staff, Students and the community have embraced the new school and its efficient use of materials while providing a design that is pleasing to the eye. A couple of areas that were implemented with this project that are important to note include; the inner courtyard which has allowed us to extend the classroom room environment to the outside, and the multipurpose complex containing the cafeteria, kitchen, multipurpose room, music, and art rooms that can be used by the community when school is not in session. The design was focused on the instructional needs of the students and staff while minimizing the overall cost to maintain the building in the future. We believe this facility will be able to stand the test of time. |
