Special Education & Faculty Support – Findings
Special Education:
•
Many existing special ed rooms are converted from alternate uses
(i.e. team rooms)
•
Many of the spaces currently used for special ed. are
inappropriate space:
•
•
•
Corridor alcove, lack of privacy, poor acoustics, distractions
Natural light levels inappropriate to effectively use technology
Room aspect ratio (long & narrow) not conducive to use
Faculty Support:
•
No team rooms (6 rooms consumed for special ed)
•
No faculty dining room (consumed for science room)
•
Curriculum director offices located in basement
DRAFT 4/14/2015

Summary of Recommendations
Grade 5 classrooms:
•
•
Addition of two (2) classrooms at 700 – 770 nsf
Addition of one (1) science room at 900 nsf to permit the shifting of science
room assignments and reclaim the faculty dining space
Grade 6, 7 & 8 classrooms:
•
Addition of five (5) classrooms at 700 – 770 nsf
Special Education:
•
Addition of four (4) special education resource rooms sized as classrooms
(700 – 770 nsf) to permit the conversion of existing classrooms to special
ed. dispersed across the existing floor plate
Faculty Support:
•
•
Reclaim faculty dining space (currently serving as a 5th grade science CR)
Reclaim four (4) team rooms (currently serving as special education
resource rooms)

SUMMARY
•
Option 1: Provides a fully renovated and up to date auditorium, but does not
address the lack of storage and classroom deficiencies.
•
•
Project estimate: 5.3 Million
Option 2: Provides renovated, fully functional, up to date auditorium and addresses
the initial feasibility study findings regarding the need for auditorium storage and right
sized music classrooms. It also provides 2 general purpose classrooms, but it does
not address the larger need for general classrooms due to enrollment increases.
•
•
Project estimate: 10.1 Million
Option 3: Under development; will fully renovate the auditorium, provide
needed auditorium related storage, right sized music classroom spaces and will
provide general classroom space in northwest part of building to meet all needs due
to enrollment increases.
•
Project estimate: TBD
