Defining an Elementary School

Understanding Design Capacity: • There often is a mismatch between the capacity

of school buildings and the number of students in those buildings. Schools that exceed their design capacity experience increased wear and tear. And schools that are under-enrolled have to spend more in operations and maintenance than is necessary.

– American School & University Magazine

• Understanding the District’s Educational Goals and Expectations is the “Key to Balance Design Capacity”

LIBERAL

Keys to Design Capacity Understanding: • The building is a fixed item — capacity is

determined by factors subject to change, such as use of a teaching station, building and occupancy codes, scheduling and curriculum.

• The initial design capacity can become outdated when programs and physical environments change. (such as the inclusion of Special Ed Services when not planned for)

• A classroom utilization study will reflect the building's functional capacity.

LIBERAL

Design Capacity: • The number of students a school can

hold based on a District’s desired classroom student to teacher ratio (STR) and educational programs OR a desired Square Foot per Student ratio based on programs

Building Capacity: • The maximum number of occupants allowed

based on building and occupancy codes adopted by the local jurisdictional authorities
