Item # Notes
11.1 New Classroom Wing
a. The staff and parents liked the proposed design for the new 2-story classroom
wing.
b. Railings on the courtyard side might need some pattern of different heights to
add variety to the façade. It is preferred not to have painted pipe railing.
c. Parents suggested adding more colors to the existing palette. Design team
suggested adding one accent color and keeping the existing colors.
d. Natural ventilation is proposed at the new building. Parents explained that the
Jackson building at Fairmeadow was designed for natural ventilation and it is
very hot. District to confirm with maintenance staff if night cooling would be
possible.
e. Soccer fields might need to be reduced if there is no space on the east side of
the property to restripe them. District to provide accurate survey.
f. The placement of trees on the east side of the new building was welcomed for its
shading purposes.
g. Design team to research the possibility of using purple plumbing for future
reclaimed water use.
h. Design team to review space between the terraced landscape aisle and the
stairs of the new building to avoid “bottleneck” effect.
i. A meeting with the fire department is pending to confirm access to campus and
the new building.
j. Space for additional bike racks was proposed between the 000i and the new
building. Using the racks suggested by the Palo Alto Traffic Committee, the
capacity would be of approximately 20 bikes.

positive addition to the campus and very much used by students.
