Introduction & Acknowledgements This program document will guide the design of new and renovated facilities improvements for Webster Middle School. Funding is the result of a January 2004 bond election for capital improvements and a 1/2 cent sales tax for capital improvements / maintenance approved by voters in the Minden School District of the Webster Parish School System. Information in this document is the result of input from the previous and current Webster Parish School Board; previous and current School Board Administration; Minden High School administration, faculty and staff; the Minden United School Improvement Committee (MUSIC) organized by the Board for the first bond election attempt; and the committee organized by the Board and South Webster Chamber of Commerce that recommended and promoted the successful election that will fund school improvements. At the direction of Superintendent Butch Williams, Project Manager Leonard Mack and Principal Elena Black organized a series of faculty & staff meetings with MHSM Architects to discuss specific ideas and requirements for functional areas. Teacher and student surveys were conducted and several groups of faculty and central office staff traveled to other districts in Louisiana and Texas to learn and test ideas. Information from these meetings is reflected in the this document.

Goals & Overview Form: The Webster Middle School Project will revitalize or renew an existing campus. The renewed campus should place emphasis on the pedestrian experience by excluding cars from the center of the campus. The buildings should be of permanent construction that enhances the neighborhood and provides a source of pride for Minden. The project classifies as a “green building” due to the reuse of the existing campus. The goal is to apply reasonable energy conversation measures to enhance the projects status as ‘green architecture”, “sustainable design” and “smart growth”. Function: Classroom areas will be organized as clusters of core curriculum teachers that will teach the same students. Teachers in a cluster will share a teacher work / planning area to promote team teaching; and coordinate teaching methodology, schedules, interdisciplinary applications and individual student progress. The middle school design will be a completely new facility. Placement of new buildings must be accomplished in a manner that will permit operation of the existing school during construction. The school administration, faculty and the WPSB administration have developed a plan that will allow the new school buildings to be constructed in one phase. Demolition of some facilities will be necessary to make room for new construction. The Pre-school that is located on site will be relocated to one of several possible sites under consideration by the WPSB. On site vehicular traffic should separate bus traffic from parent drop off /pick up areas. The goal is to provide this separation at a single location that will be more easily supervised with fewer faculty than 2 separate locations. On site vehicular traffic should be minimized and kept at edges of the campus to improve security and safety. Pedestrian movement thru the campus should provide indoor and outdoor gathering places that are easily supervised and inviting for students. Portions of the campus will be used by the public for after school functions. These areas should be located to be welcoming to the public and allow for other areas of school buildings to be secured. Building design should provide flexibility, respond to innovation in teaching methodologies and accommodate technology. The campus will be designed to accommodate grades 6-8. Economy: The needs established in this program exceed the budget established for this project. As the project advances through schematic design and design development priorities should be reevaluated to determine a final scope of work for the new middle school. Long term operational savings and durability of construction materials should not be compromised in a manner that results in less than a quality project. Although the original budget was planned for grades 6-8, the classroom wing for the sixth grade could be a future addition. Time: The project will be completed in two phases: (1) demolitions and construction of new buildings; and, (2) occupancy of new buildings, demolition of remaining old buildings, construction of the football field and remaining site work.

Goals & Overview Why are School Buildings Important Serve multiple purposes in a community • Learning centers for our children • Gathering places for community events and fundraisers • Meeting places for clubs, community and religious organizations • Accommodate a range of social services • Public shelters for emergencies Why School Facilities must be Dynamic Tools in the Education Process • Studies show school facilities affect student attitudes, health, and attention span---design matters • Once a building is built it is frozen in time, on average 42 years • Learning is a life long process • The teachers role and therefore the classroom model changes as students age. • The learning environment is constantly changing Thematic Principals in Future School Facility Design • Sustainability • Instruction flexibility • Designed for possible multiple uses • Environmentally Responsible • Energy efficient • High tech/ multi-media environments • Designs will include open spaces for group learning as well as areas of private study • Integration into the social needs of the community • Increasing use of energy efficient systems (geothermal/natural lighting) • Community friendly • ADA requirements will be fully integrated in the design • Integrated into regional educational plan Some Trends in Teaching in the K-12 Environment • Information Technology will increase the emphasis on collaborative learning • Teachers role is changing from instructor to mentor/facilitator/guide • Educational achievement will become the increasing focus of attention • Classrooms and the entire school will increasingly be seen as learning tools and will need to be

increasingly flexible • Greater connection to the community for the educational experience • Smaller schools will be built where possible and schools within schools will become more prominent • Schools will strive to become more personal

Operations & Management Classrooms should be flexible and allow for a variety of furniture configurations. Linda Shalaway has written book that includes the linked excerpt on Classroom Organization: The Physical Environment. “Warm, well-run classrooms begin with the room's physical layout — the arrangement of desks and working space, the attractiveness and appeal of bulletin boards, the storage of materials and supplies.”

The existing Webster Junior High is located approximately 1 mile to the southeast of historic downtown Minden on U.S. highway 80. The school site is approximately 24 acres. Residential areas of modest homes are located to the North, West and South of the school. To the immediate southeast on adjoining property is a rental housing complex of approximately 40 units. To the east of Webster School across Fincher Road is open undeveloped land. Minden has experienced residential and commercial growth east of the school site along La. 531 and along Homer Road. The current school site is an excellent location to serve this new growth and existing neighborhoods. Access to the site is also excellent. Highway 80 is 4 lanes at the school property which will accommodate school traffic with little disruption to surrounding neighborhoods. To the south of the site along the Cooley Creek, accessed from the I-20 service road, the city has constructed a recreation complex of ball fields and gymnasium. The complex is very close to the school, however, access requires traveling to I-20. Providing a more direct connection to the center from Highway 80 or a neighborhood street Will provide additional enhancement opportunities for Webster School and Phillips School that is also near the new Minden Recreation Complex. The WPSB could consider approaching the city about the future funding possibilities for a connector street project. The property slopes approximately 65 feet from a high elevation of approximately 265’ on the north property line to elevation 200’ at the southern property line. Approximately 45% of the site slopes at gradients that range from 1:8 (13%) to as steep as 1:2 (50%). These portions of the property are not economical for building construction. Although the site area of 24 acres is adequate for a school of 800 the existing buildings have been placed on the site without benefit of a master plan. Over time additions and utilization of land have resulted in functional and educational problems. The site is currently used for 7th and 8th grade, pre-k 4, a parent center and the teachers credit union. Pre-k uses the same cafeteria as the junior high students. Traffic flows through the center of the site causing safety and security problems. Existing buildings are configured in a manner that does not allow economical renovation and reuse in order to achieve educational goals and higher efficiencies of net to gross area to be achieved with new construction o this site. A previous school building that was demolished was located in the vicinity of the current pre-k school. Masonry gateway columns are artifacts from this history and should be preserved as part of the new construction. The original school building was located on the high end of the site and was likely demolished after occupancy of the current classroom building. A new 6-8 grade middle school will reclaim the high portion of the property in a manner that will allow use of existing buildings during construction. After construction of the new school any remaining old buildings will be demolished and the football field relocated to the south end of the property in a manner that will take advantage of the sloping land for grandstand seating.

Site & Context

U.S. Highway 80 provides good access to the site from all parts of Minden.

Road divides the campus resulting in traffic congestion, safety and security problems

Pre-K Center and parent center should be relocated to an elementary or stand alone site rather than part of a middle school

Steeply sloped portions of the site are not economical for building construction

Southern portion of the site could be used for a relocated football field. Balancing cut and fill could result in grandstand seating

located in the side of a hill.

Existing classroom building

Current access from Highway 80 is located in a curve in the road presenting a visibility problem for entering and leaving the site.

Rental apartment units on property contiguous to school.

Residential neighbors surround the school to the north, west and south.

Existing Buildings

Pre-K building is connected to the cafeteria by a covered walk that crosses the driveway and parking lots that divides the campus.

Cafeteria entry is the closest entry from vehicle and bus parking to the classroom building.

The main entry to the school and administration is remote from drives and parking. The current on-site traffic flow does not provide adequate separation for car and bus traffic.

Existing Buildings

The classroom buildings are poorly configured to serve current teaching pedagogy. The disconnected campus configuration has evolved into very inefficient use of the site. Renovation and reuse will require a larger investment with more functional compromises than demolition and replacement. Classroom furnishings do not support team project learning and easy reconfiguration.

Existing Buildings

Narrow corridors and the condition of aging infrastructure that is not to current code and accessibility standards also contribute to the decision that renovation is more costly than replacement.

Site Improvements

Development of the site should take advantage of the natural features as an asset that distinguishes Webster from other schools. Site design should also enhance the potential for reinvestment in the surrounding neighborhood as a strategy to improve campus security. Appearance and maintenance of the campus plays an important role in student and community pride in schools. A site that is organized and inviting will be more secure with minimal places to hide and easy to visually supervise. Emphasis within the campus on pedestrian preference with no drives or parking separating campus buildings enhances security and the academic environment. This design strategy improves security for students and discourages traffic that does not belong on campus. Fencing should be considered a last resort as the message to the community is “keep out” and to students that “you are locked in”. The idea of “community schools” is growing and site design considerations include the use of certain school facilities during non-school hours. Site improvements will include: 1. Removal of all buildings and drives to prepare the site for new construction. This work will

be phased to allow the existing classroom building to be used during the construction period of the new campus. The gym will be demolished in phase one. The school board, school administration and faculty have made plans for alternate facilities during construction.

2. Covered entry walkway that is positioned to serve separate car, bus and pedestrian access to the school main entry.

3. Screened service court for the cafeteria, mechanical plant, cafetorium stage, Ag / shop area and Library/ Media Center.

4. Site area designated for greenhouse and garden. 5. New football field and track. Grandstand seating will be constructed of concrete stepped

seating in the side of the hill to take advantage of the existing topography. 6. A new field house with locker rooms, concession, press box and equipment storage.

US Highway 80

Vehicle entries to the site from Highway 80 can utilize existing Gymnasium Drive and align with Mignon Street. The two entries can provide a means to separate bus traffic from parent vehicle traffic at the beginning and end of the school day. Building service and trash pick up should be screened and traffic separated from student pedestrian traffic. The north end of the site will likely satisfy this requirement.

Gymnasium Drive

Existing masonry entry / gateway columns have historic significance and should be preserved. These columns marked entries to the first school building located on this site. This building no longer exists. Consider utilizing the one at Highway 80 as a pedestrian gateway for students that can walk to campus from neighborhoods to the north and west.

The location for a new school can best be located in the upper most northern portion of the site to take advantage of the height elevation and to allow the existing school buildings to be utilized during construction.

The existing teacher credit union building will remain. It is a residential quality building that should at some time tin the future be relocated and the building razed so the middle school site is fully utilized for the school. Drives and parking around this building should be reconfigured in a manner that supports traffic flow efficiency for the new school.

Steeply sloped portions of the site are more suitable for recreation and landscaping. Balancing cut and fill can work to advantage in making a football field by providing sloped banks

Positioning of buildings should take advantage of the topography and views to forested land to the east and south. Views to the building cited at the top of the hill can also add to

General Building Considerations 1. The Middle school campus should be designed to accommodate grades 6, 7 & 8 at approximately 250 students per grade level. 2. All subject classrooms are to accommodate 32 students and a teacher unless noted otherwise. 3. Consider appropriate places to display trophies, photos and student artwork. 4. The middle school will be designed as a lockerless concept which requires 2 sets of textbooks. Space should be considered for the possibility of adding

lockers at some time in the future. 5. Classroom areas will be designed as clusters of core subjects (“ villages” or “houses”) that are student focused learning centers. This is a non-

departmentalized concept that places core subjects for approximately 150 students in proximity to students. A teacher planning and workroom in each cluster allows teachers to customize planning for individual students in a team concept and to provide better connections between various subjects.

6. The campus environment should provide outdoor gathering places for students that are easily supervised and encourage school community. 7. Energy conversation should be considered by utilizing covered outdoor walkways to support departments 8. Investigate school intercom system that incorporates phone intercom for classrooms. 2-way communication between classrooms. 9. See several manufacturers of school furniture: Adirondack and Demco 10. Secure display areas for art in school corridors and public areas.

Administrative 1. Administration offices should be in a location that provides for good supervision of the campus and near bus loading / campus entries.

Cafetorium

1. Dining tables should provide a variety of seating options (round tables with moveable chairs and rectangular with attached seating, see VIRCO and KI ) . 2. The New Design Handbook for School Food Service includes checklists and design standards for school kitchen and cafeterias. Additional information is

available from the National Food Service Management Institute. 3. Kitchen separated from dining area with pass thru refrigerators and warmers to serving areas. 4. Current Dining area is approximately 2,400 s.f. with seating for approximately 200. Currently 450 students are served in 30 minute shifts from 10:30 to 1:00.

This includes serving 80 pre-K children that are located on the junior high campus. The current kitchen is approximately 1700 s.f. including support areas. The total existing cafeteria is approximately 4,700 s.f.

5. The new cafeteria is planned to serve 850. Concepts explored should include a food court scenario and a traditional food line. Both concepts should incorporate a prepackaged line and a hot meal line. 2 cashier stations with each concept. Serving time is based on an average of 8 people per minute per line requiring 50 minutes to serve 800 people. Dining areas can be anticipated to turn over 2.5 times during the lunch period with interior seating capacity of 325 and exterior seating capacity of 60. Cafeteria should be colorful and incorporate school colors (navy blue and white).

6. Noise control should be considered in placement of kitchen and dining and in material selections to absorb sound. Consider a background music system to mask sound and chairs with glides that minimize noise from sliding chairs.

Facility M.E.P. Systems Mechanical Site Utilities Building services to be served by site utilities include natural gas, domestic cold water, sanitary drainage, storm drainage and fire sprinkler water systems. The specific utility requirements and services will be coordinated based upon the actual site and utility conditions at both the High School and Middle School locations. Domestic cold water shall be connected in a metered connection to the existing public mains and extended to the building. A reduced pressure zone backflow preventer will be provided in the domestic water service to each building to protect the city mains. Sanitary sewerage system drainage shall be gravity run to the existing municipal mains. Storm drainage will be a combination of surface and subsurface drainage. Roof drainage system of the building shall tie into catch basins which will also provide drainage for parking lots and open areas. Fire sprinkler main shall be connected to the public water supply with separate main to the building. Code required backflow protection will be provided. Air Conditioning, Heating and Ventilation The following are relevant considerations to be considered in the design of the HVAC systems for the new buildings:

· The public areas of the building are expected to be in occupied operation 50 to 55 hours per week. · Temperature in classrooms, offices and common spaces should be maintained between 68°F (Winter) and 75°F (Summer) while the building is in

operation. Night setback temperatures shall be 55°F and 80°F. · Areas of the building are divided into air handling unit zones based on the similarity in the usage of space, time of use, and thermal loading. Separate

air distribution systems shall serve the auditorium, cafeteria, classrooms, offices, etc. Each classroom area shall have individual room temperature control.

The estimated heating and cooling loads for the High School are 7,000 MBH and 650 tons, respectively. The estimated heating and cooling loads for the Middle School are 4,500 MBH and 420 tons, respectively.

Facility M.E.P. Systems

Due to its high energy efficiency, a variable air volume (VAV) system is proposed for individual space and zone control. Two types of VAV systems are being considered:

1. VAV with downstream hydronic (hot water) heat 2. VAV with downstream electric heat

An economic analysis between the two options based on current utility rates will be utilized to determine the most cost effective system type. Hydronic or electric heat at the VAV terminal boxes will provide heating for each zone. The air side of the HVAC system shall consist of central station variable air volume (VAV) air handling units with terminal boxes for zone airflow and heating control. The proposed air distribution system from the air handling units (AHU) is a single duct system. The AHU's shall be modular draw-thru units consisting of a mixing box, preheat coil, ultraviolet light section for air and coil cleaning, chilled water coil and fan section. Each AHU will produce 55°F air to the single duct system for its respective area. The air handling units shall be double-wall construction with insulation between the inner and outer walls. The units casings shall be completely sealed to eliminate casing condensation. Access doors with gasketing shall be provided at each AHU section except coils. Access space will be provided on both sides of each coil. Chilled water coils shall be copper tubes with aluminum fins. Cooling coil condensate drain pan shall be properly sloped. Fans shall be forward curved, backward inclined or airfoil as scheduled on plans. Fan motors shall be premium efficiency for use with variable speed drives. The supply air distribution system will consist of oval or spiral round ductwork and will conduct the cooled supply air to the individual VAV boxes. Each box will modulate the amount of air to the space based on space temperature setpoint. As the cooling load is satisfied, the air valve will close. The air valve will continue to close until the minimum airflow setting for the box is reached; if the space temperature continues to fall, the heating coil at the VAV box will warm the air to maintain space temperature and avoid overcooling. The main supply and return ducts, VAV boxes, and hydronic piping will be located in the main corridors or in classrooms above the ceiling to group the VAV boxes and associated valves, controls, etc. in common locations for ease of access and maintenance. When air valves at the VAV boxes close and open, the pressure in the ductwork increases and decreases, respectively. A pressure sensor in each main branch of the duct system will sense the changes in duct pressure and signal the variable frequency drive (VFD) at the air handler fan motor to vary the system air flow by speeding up or slowing down the fan. This sequence will reduce fan energy consumption and minimize the energy penalty for overcooling and/or reheating. The building exhaust system will consist of a general exhaust system serving public toilets, janitor closets, etc. through central systems with roof mounted exhaust fans, and individual exhaust fans for any fume hoods in science classrooms. The air handling units will be located in mechanical spaces strategically positioned throughout the building. Anticipated mechanical room locations and sizes for the High School are as follows:

Multiple areas of the building (classrooms, offices, toilets, etc.) will require constant ventilation airflow during occupied time periods to maintain minimum ventilation rates as dictated by current codes. During unoccupied periods, these areas can reduce both their supply and ventilation airflows to conserve energy. Control of the main air handling and hydronic systems as well as the individual zones shall be by electronic direct digital control devices tied to a main energy management, building automation system. The building system can be tied into a district-wide energy management system. In order to generate the cooling medium required by the building, air or water-cooled water chillers will be incorporated using two chillers at each school. The new chiller, pumps and auxiliary equipment will be located in a mechanical room in the back of the High School building. At the Middle School, the mechanical plant will be in a separate building with underground hydronic piping to the main building to serve the air handling units throughout the school. Insulated piping systems will distribute chilled water to air handling units throughout the building. Plumbing Plumbing fixtures will consist of water closets and lavatories at toilets, work sinks and janitor’s sinks and water coolers. Emergency eyewash or showers will be provided where required in science classrooms. High efficiency natural gas-fired water heaters will be utilized to produce domestic hot water at 110OF for general use and 140OF water for the cafeteria kitchen. The water heaters will be located near the central mechanical plant at each school or in the vicinity of the kitchen where the hot water demand will be the highest. Circulating pumps will be utilized to maintain a consistent hot water temperature and at points of use. All exterior cold water, hot water (including recirculating lines), and roof drain leaders within the building shall be insulated. All flat roof areas of the new building shall be equipped with roof drains, and overflow scuppers. Roof drain leaders should run within the building and a new site tie-in made as described under Site Utilities. Natural gas will be piped to laboratory work benches in science classrooms where desired. Each science lab will have an emergency gas shut-off button to allow the teacher to stop the gas flow to the lab during an emergency. Science classroom waste piping shall be routed separately from the general building waste piping and shall be piped through a neutralization basin prior to entering the municipal sanitary sewer system. Fire Protection A complete wet system as defined in NFPA 13 will be provided for the entire building. Each zone and riser will be provided with a shut-off valve and flow and tamper switches.

If the municipal water pressure is not sufficient, a fire pump will be required to provide the flow and pressure mandated by NFPA. ELECTRICAL Power Distribution Site electrical power shall be derived by overhead high voltage utility mains adjacent to the site. High voltage primary service shall drop underground and extend to a pad mounted distribution transformer located adjacent to the building (typical for both sites). The 480Y/277 volts secondary service shall enter the building at an electrical room near the transformer location. Power shall be 480/277 volts, three phase 4-wire for building distribution. The estimated service sizes for the High School and Middle School are 4000 Amps and 2500 Amps, respectively. Building electrical power shall be derived from the main distribution panels and be distributed to sub-distribution points throughout the building. Lighting shall generally run at 277 volts with transformers and distribution for receptacle power at 120 volts. Combination power/data rooms of roughly 80 to 100 sq. feet each will need to be located throughout each school to centralize panels to limit the length of circuit runs and voltage drop and provide cost effective power distribution. The following nine (9) room locations are anticipated for the High School: kitchen/cafeteria, media center, auditorium/band/choir, administration, new classroom building (3 - one per floor), existing classroom building (2 - one per floor). The gym could be served by panels located in the adjacent mechanical/electrical plant. Each room would need to be located in a centralized point in each of the above areas. The following ten (10) room locations are anticipated for the Middle School: administration, gym, kitchen/cafeteria/commons, media center/vocational, 6th grade building (one per floor - two total), 7th grade building (one per floor - two total), 8th grade building (one per floor - two total). Each room would need to be located in a centralized point in each of the above areas. Consideration shall be given to concentrated use of computers and computer-similar equipment. Distribution devices shall be specified to handle the normally occurring high harmonic currents found in such areas. Lighting The building shall be equipped with an energy management system, which will be used, through control points, to switch the public area lighting so that, only at those times required, are the public areas illuminated. Exterior lighting at the new building shall be provided by H.I.D. lamps in vandal-resistant fixtures recessed in accessible soffits, walls and other locations

Construction Phasing Construction phasing at the High School will require renovation of the existing swimming pool structure as an open plan classroom for 4 classes of approximately 28 students. After campus construction is complete, this room will be a multi-purpose room for ROTC, cheerleaders, dance line, wrestling or other uses that could have spectators on the existing seating risers. A split system air conditioning system will likely be used for this and other spaces that receive air conditioning in the old gym, since the new facilities will not be completed until well after the renovation of the existing pool and gym. Provisions can be made to connect the old gym HVAC and electrical control systems to the new campus system.

Budget Pre-school relocation Relocation of the pre-school from the Webster site to the Phillips school site

will require an addition of approximately 9,000 s.f. at $82 / s.f. This addition will be designed to convert to elementary classrooms when the Phillips sixth grade is moved to the Webster Middle School, Jones Elementary students moved to Phillips, and Jones becomes a pre-K center as per the planned school configuration. Pre-school relocation costs were not included in the bond issue proposal budgets. These costs will require adjustments in overall improvement budgets. Initial consideration is to use money budgeted for the 6th grade classroom wing.

Demolition Demolition will occur in phases. After relocation of the pre-school demolition

and site clearing will allow for construction of new school construction. After occupancy the remaining classroom buildings will be demolished to allow for football field, field house and remaining site work construction.

Site improvements Site improvements include parking and drives, football field, site

landscaping, track (future), practice field and other miscellaneous site improvements.

New Construction New construction will consist of approximately 120,400 s.f. at a budgeted

cost of $78 / s.f. This budget includes a classroom building for the sixth grade that is currently identified as a future addition. Planning and design will include this future building as current recommendations are for a middle school with grades 6,7 & 8. Current budgeted cost for this addition are approximately $1 million.

Field House New field house of 4,600 s.f. at new football field at a budgeted cost of

$75 / s.f. This item was considered a future improvement in budgeting for the bond issue.

Subtotal of Construction Costs Contingency Total Construction Cost This cost is above budgets established for the bond issue. Pre-school

relocation was not budgeted nor was a new field house that was considered as a future addition due to priorities established at the time of budgeting. All items will be included through schematic design to assist in further refining priorities and potential future funding options for all capital improvement needs.

Summary Minden has chosen to invest in renewing the Minden High School campus to serve the education needs of the community for the future. The decision to improve existing school sites recognizes the importance of the historic center of town to the long term economic health of Minden. It is a progressive direction that classifies the project as a part of “smart growth” and “sustainable design” or “green Architecture”. This program document represents the functional space requirements and demonstrates the inadequacy of the existing buildings to accommodate future education needs of the Minden community. To make most efficient use of the site and improve the image of the campus existing buildings will require demolition. In summarizing this program document there are several statements that should shape the design of a renewed Webster Middle School: Form: The Webster Middle School Project will revitalize or renew an existing campus. The renewed campus should place emphasis on the pedestrian experience by excluding cars from the center of the campus. The buildings should be of permanent construction that enhances the neighborhood and provides a source of pride for Minden. The project classifies as a “green building” due to the reuse of the existing campus. The goal is to apply reasonable energy conversation measures to enhance the projects status as ‘green architecture”, “sustainable design” and “smart growth”. Function: Classroom areas will be organized as clusters of core curriculum teachers that will teach the same students. Teachers in a cluster will share a teacher work / planning area to promote team teaching; and coordinate teaching methodology, schedules, interdisciplinary applications and individual student progress. The middle school design will be a completely new facility. Placement of new buildings must be accomplished in a manner that will permit operation of the existing school during construction. The school administration, faculty and the WPSB administration have developed a plan that will allow the new school buildings to be constructed in one phase. Demolition of some facilities will be necessary to make room for new construction. The Pre-school that is located on site will be relocated to one of several possible sites under consideration by the WPSB. On site vehicular traffic should separate bus traffic from parent drop off /pick up areas. The goal is to provide this separation at a single location that will be more easily supervised with fewer faculty than 2 separate locations. On site vehicular traffic should be minimized and kept at edges of the campus to improve security and safety. Pedestrian movement thru the campus should provide indoor and outdoor gathering places that are easily supervised and inviting for students. Portions of the campus will be used by the public for after school functions. These areas should be located to be welcoming to the public and allow for other areas of school buildings to be secured. Building design should provide flexibility, respond to innovation in teaching methodologies and accommodate technology. The campus will be designed to accommodate grades 6-8. Economy: The needs established in this program exceed the budget established for this project. As the project advances through schematic design and design development priorities should be reevaluated to determine a final scope of work for the new middle school. Long term operational savings and durability of construction materials should not be compromised in a manner that results in less than a quality project. Although the original budget was planned for grades 6-8, the classroom wing for the sixth grade could be a future addition. Time: The project will be completed in two phases: (1) demolitions and construction of new buildings; and, (2) occupancy of new buildings, demolition of remaining old buildings, construction of the football field and remaining site work.
