In March 2011, Irvine Unified School District

(IUSD) embarked on a process to develop a

twenty-year Comprehensive Facilities Master

Plan (FMP). Included in the scope of services for

this effort was a number of distinct tasks;

1. Program Visioning

2. Demographics Review

3. Facilities Needs Assessment

4. Educational Specifications

5. Conceptual Site Master Planning

6. Implementation

7. Development of Databases

Deliverables generated from these tasks have

been organized into three separate volumes:

Volume 1

The first volume approved by the IUSD Board of

Education on November 10, 2011, and February

7, 2012, contains the Educational Specifications

for Elementary, K-8, Middle, and High Schools

programs.

Volume 2

Volume 2, which follows, comprises deliverables

connected to the Task 3 Facilities Needs

Assessment, Task 5 Conceptual Site Master

Planning and Task 6 Implementation phase.

“The Facilities Master

Plan will focus on analysis

of existing and future

facilities needs. It will

contain an implementation

plan with cost estimates

for providing new school

facilities and

improvements to existing

facilities. It is IUSD’s

intent to assemble a team

that will work

collaboratively within

IUSD and the community

to establish a plan that

will cover the period

2010 – 2030.” -IUSD Request for Proposal, October 2010

Volume 3

The final volume consists of the Energy Master

Plan deliverables.

This volume, Volume 2, represents the

culmination of a year-long process – from May

2011 to May 2012 – to investigate and define

the current condition of all of the District’s

facilities and then to master plan each site

based on an overlay of the Educational

Specifications and the unique needs present at

each location.

In total, over 750 District and community

stakeholders were engaged in the long range

master planning process. The comprehensive

nature of the deliverables and proposed

solutions is a direct result of the extensive and

enthusiastic participation of so many people

coming from different perspectives throughout

the District.

SITE ANALYSIS & CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLANS

This School Site Facility Master Implementation Plan presents an overlay of the facility ed. specs. – approved by the IUSD Board, Nov. 2011 – onto the existing facility plan. The proposed facilities modifications and enhancements were reviewed by a school site committee; this plan reflects their input. It represents a 20-year vision for the school site, with phased implementation as funding is available. Once funding is determined for specific projects, further discussions with school site and district stakeholders will refine the design and details of the projects. The current approved ed. specs. will provide the framework for the design. The modifications shown here reflect a rough potential layout, to establish budgets; they are not intended to represent a final design. During the later detailed design phase, building, site, and funding constraints may require changes to this original plan.

During the later detailed design phase, building, site, and funding constraints may require changes to this original plan.

From October 2011 to February 2012, a number

of meetings were held to share the drafts of the

conceptual site master plans with various school

site stakeholders and ensure the accuracy and

relevance of the plans to the sites. Site

stakeholders were selected to serve on

committees that would provide input about the

analysis of their site and the proposed

modifications and enhancements. All plans were

revised to reflect these discussions and

incorporate input, resulting in the finalized

master plans that are located in this binder.

The team concurrently conducted interviews

with leadership of programs currently residing

at the District’s various support sites. The intent

of these interviews was to gather information

about program needs and determine whether

the current location and facilities support or

detract from long-term goals. In the process of

evaluating options for each support site, the

team considered:

• The size and location of the property

• The existing facility, site layout and condition

• The impact on the adjacent community (e.g.,

traffic flow)

• The ability to repurpose or reconfigure the

facility to meet program goals

• Whether the facility and program were “right

sized,” and how well the facility supports the

program requirements

• Consolidation of similar programs to improve

efficiency and optimize shared use

Task 3: Preliminary Site Walks & Facilities

Needs Assessment

In May 2011, IUSD and the lead planning team

kicked off the Facilities Needs Assessment

portion of the Facilities Master Plan by

conducting preliminary site walks at each school

within the District. The purpose of these initial

visits was to gain a general understanding of

the condition of the facilities, as well as to

uncover any overarching needs or concerns.

Following this preliminary work, LPA conducted

a comprehensive assessment of facilities needs

in Summer 2011. During that time, members of

the planning team walked each site, verifying

the accuracy of the District’s electronic CADD

files, measuring casework, and taking

representative photographs of typical spaces

inside and outside the buildings.

Tasks 5&6: Conceptual Site Master

Planning, School Site Committee Meetings,

& Implementation

After analyzing information gathered during the

Facilities Needs Assessment phase (Task 3) and

finalizing educational specifications created for

the Elementary, K-8, Middle and High Schools

(Volume 1, Task 4), the planning team began

master planning each school site in September

2011. The conceptual diagrams created for each

school and support site propose potential

modifications and enhancements by overlaying

the Board-approved educational specifications

to determine what is needed in order to meet

the specification standards and to encourage

equity throughout the schools in the District.

In this manner, the most effective use of each

support site was determined and master plans

were created for the Training Center, Culinary

Arts, the Central Kitchen, the Early Childhood

Learning Center (ECLC), the Maintenance &

Operations site, and the District Office.

To round out the master planning and

implementation process, (15) scope groupings

were developed to arrive at cost estimates

representative of the total master plan program

and campus needs at each school and/or

District support site.

(15) Scope Groupings

1. Site Analysis Package

The first component of Volume 2 is the site

analysis package, which is meant to be an

accurate representation of the current state of

each school site at the time of the site survey.

Each package comprises:

1) A campus overview, which summarizes

information about the school, its

educational program and mission, and a

summary of various features within specific

areas of the school

2) Campus observations, which provide more

detailed information concerning the

condition and adequacy of the building(s),

classrooms, administrative areas, shared

spaces, available technology and

infrastructure, outdoor areas, parking and

drop-off areas, and additional overarching

topics

3) A site plan depicting the specific uses

housed in each room/region of the school as

well as the designated uses of its outdoor

areas

4) School statistics, a classroom count, and an

assessment of the school, labeled ‘Measures

of Quality’ (on a 1-4 scale), which considers

a number of qualitative indicators, including

the adequacy of wayfinding, daylighting,

classroom flexibility, access to technology,

energy consumption, and general condition

5) Photo sheets that provide an overview of

the look and feel of the campus, with

representative photographs of typical

classrooms and other significant zones

within the school and the site; each sheet

includes a key map indicating the location

where each photo was taken

2. Conceptual Master Plans

The conceptual master plans present an overlay

of the District-wide Educational Specifications –

approved by the IUSD Board of Education – onto

the existing facility plan. Each conceptual

master plan document includes a site plan that

depicts the potential scope of modifications and

enhancements proposed to take place at that

particular site.

The proposed changes for each site were

reviewed by the individual school site

committees and revised to reflect their input.

These plans are supplemented with a written

description of the proposed scope, and each

plan also provides information about the year

the school was built, the year it was modernized

(or the year it is slated to be modernized), the

current enrollment, the number of existing

classrooms, and the number of proposed

classrooms (‘school stats’ on sample below).

3. New Construction Programs

The new construction master plan programs

that have been prepared for each school and

District support site provide a space allocation

summary with a breakdown of the new

construction square footages proposed for the

specific program elements that are required at

the particular site in order to adhere to the

educational specifications.

4. Cost Estimates

Cost estimates were generated for each site

based on program and campus needs. Each cost

estimate contains a breakdown by the (15)

scope of work categories, with associated

square footages, unit costs, construction costs,

and soft cost to arrive at project total project

costs for each school and District support

analyzed as part of the Comprehensive Facilities

Master Plan program. All costs are in 2012

dollars and do not include potential escalation.

On the following pages are summaries of the

anticipated costs identified by both school site

and the (15) scope of work categories.

F. NEW SCHOOL PLANNING & FINANCING

Classroom Count

Planning of new schools occurs during the new

community planning phase. The developer and

IUSD staff meet to determine the school facility

needs for the new communities. This process

starts with the development of student

generation rates based on the types of

residential development for the proposed

community, as well as a housing development

schedule. Working closely with the developer,

IUSD staff are able to project the need to

construct and open new schools based on

criteria outlined in IUSD Board Policies.

School funding consists of a contribution of local

funding through a Community Facilities District

(CFD), State funding, and/or other forms of

mitigation negotiated with the developer. This

collaboration allows for quality schools to be

constructed to serve IUSD students and the

community in a timely manner. Since IUSD has

a process in place for new school funding, new

school construction was not included in the

Facilities Master Plan Financial Analysis.

IUSD has partnered with the Irvine Company

on several CFD projects to ensure new

communities within IUSD have quality schools.

Recently, IUSD has also partnered with Five

Point Communities to provide new school

facilities to support the new Heritage Fields

Community in the Great Park areas within IUSD,

as well as New Home Company for their

contribution to schools to support the new

Lambert Ranch residential community.

On an annual basis, IUSD staff updates the

Board of Education on the status of new school

planning and enrollment projections. At the

March 13, 2012 Facilities Study Session, the

following enrollment projections were presented

to the Board:
