Past Experience in Design and

Construction Standards

Klein Elementary School No. 24

• Past experience shows most District's have Standards in place or none at all, this request to update standards is unique

• MSA has extensive experience in working with District’s without Design and Construction Standards

• Without District Standards : research, experience and construction knowledge is critical

• As the design of a Building evolves the Standards evolve.

• Once the construction documents are complete the latest Standards are created

Firm’s Approach3 Step Plan

Step 1 Review existing Standards with input from School District – Identify what works and what doesn’t work

Step 2 Once issues identified utilize other School Districts and other sources to resolve

Step 3 Execute changes based on sound judgment and reason

Trend Considerations

• Strategies to design and construct sustainable energy-efficient facilities while balancing proven district standards and practices

• Consideration for achieving a LEED certified or Texas CHPS designed school

• Increasing building envelope efficiency as a way to minimize energy loads

• Smart Classrooms - Daylight harvesting, indoor air quality, high performance lighting, furniture and interactive white boards

• Design buildings as a teaching tool for a learning environment. Examples include: School Gardens, water harvesting tank and touch screens

• Adaptive and varied learning spaces that are responsive to new methods of curriculum delivery. The building allows for change

• Standards should look beyond 2011 and not be outdated once issued
