  4. Firestone/Litchfield Community Learning Center • Proposed Student Capacity: 640Middle School 1,400 High School (including Career Tech) • Proposed Program Area: 364,000 sq ft

  5. Site information • Geotechnical Engineering Analysis • Suitability for development • Site Survey • Documentation of site conditions

  6. Project Goals • Provide facilities meeting needs of the community for future generations. • Provide equity in the District. • Safe and Secure Learning Environments for Teachers and Students.

  7. Renovation Study • OSFC Recommendation; Replace • Community request – study renovation vs. replacement. • Apply Program of Requirements (POR) to current facilities to achieve project goals. • Establish reconfigurations/ additions required. • Review physical building and renovations necessary. • Refine renovation/addition construction cost. • Identify issues to consider in a renovation/addition project.

  8. Renovation Study – Physical Structure • Walls, roofs and windows • Mechanical Systems • Electrical Systems • Interior Finishes • Technology Systems • Fire alarm, sprinkler system • Handicap Accessibility • Site Condition • Hazardous Material

  9. Renovation Study – Apply POR to existing facilities

  10. Renovation Study – Apply POR to existing facilities

  14. Renovation Study – Additions • Academic additions to meet curriculum needs. • Cafeterias and Kitchens undersized. • Visual & Performing Arts program needs. • Theatre Classroom, dance, music. • PE/Athletics locker room/coaches areas.

  15. Renovation Study – Considerations Renovation Impacts • Operational Impact • Parking/site circulation • Separate kitchens • Additions impact parking and athletic fields • Larger, less efficient building to maintain and operate than new build • Physical Structure • LEED Silver Certification challenges (envelope, energy efficiency) • Building footprint and configuration • Low structure – academic areas • Construction • Phased construction – adds to construction cost and schedule • Educational Impact • Classrooms do not meet current design standards • Handicap accessibility • Low ceilings • Remote/isolated spaces.

  16. Next Steps • Renovation study validated current decision to replace • Submit POR to JBR/Board • Continue Design Process • Additional meetings with staff, administrators, curriculum and community • Develop site/building layout concepts • Develop renderings • Bidding Documents • Construction • Timeline • Bidding Documents : Spring 2013 • Construction: Spring 2013 through summer 2015
