Item # Notes
5.1 Introduction:
a. Two SDC Classrooms were added to the program.
b. An U10 soccer field was shown measuring 60x40yd (180’x120’).
5.2
Options
Study A
MP bldg at the front
Flex room at MP bldg
Library at the end of the existing north-south wing
Admin offices at the north end of the new two-story building
Existing admin converted into two classrooms
Comments
a. Admin centrally located but away from entry. Not clear for visitors.
b. Classrooms per grades would be fragmented
Study B
MP bldg at the front
Flex room at MP bldg
Admin offices at the north end of the existing north-south wing
Library at the north end of the new two-story building, detached on the first floor to allow
“gateway” from admin towards fields for supervision.
Existing admin converted into two classrooms
Comments
a. Admin located at the front of the school but supervision is limited by the new building on
the fields’ side. Focus should be made to sightlines both at the entry of the school and the
fields.
b. Classrooms per grades would be fragmented.
Study C
MP bldg at the front
Flex room at MP bldg
Admin offices remain in current location with an expansion to get SF per program
Library at the end of the existing north-south wing
New two-story wing is 100% classrooms, including two SDCs.

Comments
a. This scheme best achieves sightlines from admin to the entry of the school and the play
areas.
b. It would be easier to configure the grade levels.
c. This is the preferred option
Study D
MP bldg at the front
Flex room at MP bldg
Admin offices and Library in one detached building, at the north end of the existing north-south
wing which would be shorten.
New two-story building still placed parallel to the existing wing but as much close to the fence
with Jordan MS as possible.
Entry to campus would be between the classroom wings and the admin/Library building.
Existing admin converted into two classrooms
Comments
a. Supervision sightlines still compromised.
b. Space on the north side and on the south side of the admin/Library building would not be
very efficient.
5.3
2-story
Vertical circulation should be centrally located.
5.4
Program
- Provide considerations for natural light and temperature control in the classrooms.
- Gates might be needed at the end of the corridors for security purposes after school hours.
- Special attention should be taken to prohibit access to the existing roofs from the new two-story
building.
- If space allows, it would be good to have in K thru 3rd grades an outdoor garden or learning area.
- Reading nooks would be good too (both indoor & outdoor).
5.5
Next
Steps
- Community Meeting on February 2nd.
- AEDIS to develop an Option 7 with considerations of Study C.
