Scenario Development Assumptions
BUDGETS• Budgets developed represent total project
costs (approx. $350 / s.f. for typical new school construction) and are created by:• Estimating the site construction costs• Calculating demolition costs• Calculating the cost of new
construction area at $270 / sf• Calculating the cost of remodeling at
• $50 / sf for light remodeling (new finishes);
• $100 / sf for medium remodeling (replacement of selected systems)
• $150 / sf for heavy remodeling (replacement of most systems)
• Including the cost for contingencies and soft costs (surveys, testing, soil investigation, fees, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, and technology)
• Escalated 3%/yr for inflation.

RENOVATIONS & ADDITION @ MS
scenario
PROS• Improved Middle School learning environments,
including
– Improved art classrooms, collaboration spaces, breakout spaces, interdisciplinary learning labs
– Enhanced Wellness spaces: Competition gym plus a multipurpose room for additional programs plus a fitness space
– Enhanced "specials" environments: Band, Chorus, Art, Ag, and FACS classrooms
– Enhanced technology access and integration
• Proximity to HS creates opportunities for enhanced programs
– students optimally grouped to meet their developmental needs,
– shared services to students, athletic fields, economies, wellness
– shared staffing, flexibility, and economies
– Possibility to add additional parking to meet HS needs
• Lower cost, higher functional adequacy than SQ, higher value (than status quo)
• District owns site
CONS• Limitations of existing ‘72, ‘00, ‘02 building.
• Lower Cost/Benefit value than competing scenarios
• Construction will occur while students are on site, impacting both middle and high schools
– Increasing site congestion
– Potential impacts to learning during construction
– Inconvenience and interruptions to programs and activities
• Construction will require students to locate to a portion of the existing middle school during construction
– Students will not fit into 1972, 2000, 2002 building additions; portable classrooms will need to be brought in.
• No enhancement to High School / District wide (ie no auditorium) educational learning environments

Scenario Preferences
Small Group CommentsTable
Preferred Scenario What do you like most?
What are the three things that most concern you? What improvements would you make?
1 Scenario 6 Instruction continues in current building while constructing new building. Shared staff and facilities. New/reimagined spaces (outdoor/performance spaces.)
MS/HS Students sharing spaces. Ta increase- community understanding
Are flex areas (common) needed if classrooms allow for flex seating. More info needed before we could offer suggestions
2 Scenario 10 Tax benefits if actually in Forsyth. No disruption for construction. Allows synergies beteween middle school/elementary
Transport extra cirricular lower cost for actual cost w/offer from Forsyth
3 Scenario 6 Provides Performance, increases functional adequacy of both, shared services
Cost, Where do students go cramped quarters, congestion construction
practice gym, outdoor play area for middle school
4 Scenario 6 Shared facilities/staffing and auditorium, 6-12 better aligned than prek-8
6th graders and 12th graders walking in same space frequently
5 Scenario 6 Shared Spaces, Auditorium, Flex Area Parking, bus garage, placement of building
#1 pick scenario 6, football parking, school built on field we all park, where we putting bus garage?
6 Scenario 6 Shared staff best for kid w/o hiring new, performance center upgrade both MS and HS , in maroa little interruption to students
Cost of building, exhausting all sales tax to build vs build and moving??, maybe construction headaches
Bus pick up/drop off
7 Scenario 3 and 10
3:Proximity, all benefits, almost w/in budget -10: lowest interruptions, possibility of free$$, all benefits of new facility
3: Disruption, cost- 10:transportation of students, not being able to share facilities with HS, not being able to have teachers being shared,
8 Scenario 6 Kids are together, improves HS also, Proximity, Creates the least amount of problems with construction
Is it possible to keep this gym? , construction during class, traffic flow
maintain current gym as practice gym, traffic flow
9 Scenario 6 Shared space, auditorium, educational enhancement opportunities
Cost , inter mingling between age groups, construction
bus garage, bus drop off, reno to high school for library, etc. for 21st century learning , cost decrease
11 Scenario 3 and 10
Keeps MS near HS for sharing staff activities, utilities are already here at site, new building
tight quarters, noise during constructions, building the land up at 72' addition area
move bus garage transportations/unit office to NE corner of current lot
12 Scenario 6 Best educational benefit, most efficient for students and staff, most cost effective,
cost, any money in budget for unexpected expenses, parking for athletic events,
skywalk, parking access road/traffic flow for sporting events
