Education Specifications Design Requirements

by Leonard Box

16

Capital IV – Design Guidelines

The Proposed 2010 Educational Specifications provide descriptions of typical programmed spaces for each of the three main types of schools: Elementary,

Middle, and High.

Previous FCS Educational Specifications developed in 1997 include General Requirements. The Proposed 2010 Design Requirements expand on these. Most requirements are based on standards which have already been incorporated into the prototypical schools in order to maintain “Cost Neutrality”. Proposed revisions

shown below are the exceptions which will impact construction cost beyond current prototypical schools.

17

Capital IV – Design Requirements

Proposed Revision Justification

These upgrades are included to ensure parity and standardization between future schools.

High School Baseball Batting Cages (Qty 1)High School Softball Batting Cages (Qty 1) High School Practice Field Football Goals (Qty 2) Provide appropriate surfaces at pedestrian traffic routes

Div. 2 – SITE

Facilities at Athletic Fields provide by the Construction Contract have been expanded to include features previously provided at some, but not all schools

Div.5 – Metals

Railings: All interior and exterior hand rails shall be welded aluminum.

Div. 8 –Doors & Windows

This is a value engineering recommendation in order to provide specific instructions to future architects, to reduce construction costs and enhance maintainability.

Classroom window requirements at general instruction classrooms are similar to the previous Ed Specs. However, excessively large windows and windows with decorative applied mullions are specifically prohibited.

High SchoolMiddle SchoolElementary School

Theatrical/ Stage Equipment requirements are more specific than previous Ed Specs. Requires Architect to employ a qualified Stage Equipment Designer and incorporate equipment appropriate for each program into the construction contract, including, theatrical light fixtures.

To provide the appropriate design expertise for equipment required and to avoid installation coordination problems through having equipment provided and installed by the building contract.
