BACKGROUND: Discussion related to school facilities is suggested on the following topics: • Status of the School/Park Concept: General policy direction may be given to the County Manager and Superintendents for school/park siting criteria at this May 6 meeting. The County/Town Managers' report to the governing bodies concerning options for the coordination of Parks&Recreation services throughout Orange County,will be presented at the May 21 County Commissioners meeting, and will address school/park siting. The County Manager and Superintendents can develop criteria for school/park siting to be presented to the County Commissioners in August 1997, in the form of a resolution or ordinance. • Agreements to Use School Facilities for Community Use: The boards may wish to provide direction to the County Manager and Superintendents on how formalized agreements might be put in place to ensure that when space for community use of schools is specifically budgeted in school construction/expansion/modification projects, that guarantees for community use of school facilities for after school programs, recreation, and/or other uses, are documented. • Siting of New Schools: No criteria have been established to guide the school site selection process. The boards may wish to discuss some of the aspects (e.g. size, environmental impacts, accessibility,traffic impacts,etc.)that should be considered in any school siting decision. The County Manager and the Superintendents could then prepare school siting criteria policy (which would include school/park considerations) for action by the Board of Commissioners and Boards of Education in August 1997. 2 • School Standards: There have been suggestions that it would be a good idea to develop standards for new and existing high schools. Moreover, the boards may wish to review, discuss, and/or clarify the policies adopted by the Board of Commissioners in May 1996 regarding school construction standards for middle and elementary schools in Orange County (copy of final School Construction Standards report attached). A specific topic for discussion is a proposal by Commissioner Gordon that the use of basic tier standards be extended to existing schools. There would thus be a basic standard for all schools, both existing and new. Such a basic standard could serve as a goal for future school capital projects, and help guide planning for renovation and expansion projects. RECOMMENDATION(S): As the Board decides. 3 School 1 1 Standards Work Group Report Adopted by the Board of County Commissioners May 1996 Moses Carey, Jr., Chair William Crowther Alice M. Gordon Stephen H. Halkiotis Don Willhoit Work Group Members: Orange County Board of Commissioners Moses Carey Stephen Halkiotis Chapel Hill/Carrboro City School Board Mary Bushnell Nick Didow Orange County School Board Susan Dovenbarger Larry Haverland Parent Representatives Bill Boyarsky Dick Snow 4 School Construction Standards Background In early 1995 the Board of County Commissioners appointed an eight member work group to develop school construction standards for new facilities built in the Orange County School and Chapel Hi11JCarrboro City School districts. The School Facility Construction Standards Work Group included two representatives from the Board of County Commissioners, two representatives from each of the two School Boards, and two parent representatives: Orange County Board of Commissioners Moses Carey Stephen Halkiotis Chapel Hill/Carrboro City School Board Mary Bushnell Nick Didow Orange County School Board Susan Dovenbarger Larry Haverland Parent Representatives Bill Boyarsky Dick Snow The Board of County Commissioners adopted in May 1996 school standards for elementary and middle schools. These construction standards are outlined in this report. Elementary School The total square footage of the Basic School, as outlined in this section of the report, is 83,160 square feet. There are two tiers added to the Basic School. Tier A provides additional storage space for use of the facility for afterschool programs. The additional storage space is 1,400 square feet with 462 square feet for circulation, bringing the total for Tier A to 1,862 additional square feet. Tier B includes space identified by the School Systems as desirable for an elementary school. Tier B adds 13,240 square feet with approximately 5,920 square feet for storage, 1,000 square feet for a Student Commons area and the balance primarily for additional teacher workspace and conference rooms. 1. Capacity The capacity of the elementary school is 600 students. 2. School Sites The elementary school site is based on the NC Public School Facility Standards which requires an elementary school to have a minimum of ten usable acres plus one usable acre Page 1 5 per each 100 average daily membership (ADM). The minimum school site for a 600 student elementary school is 16 acres. Consideration is to be given to community use of the facility and recreational facilities which could possibly increase the size of the school site. 3. Classrooms and Associated Storage A. Regular Classrooms Basic School-28,400 sq. ft. Tier A -Add 1,200 sq. ft. Tier B -Add 3,600 sq. ft.

Custodial Storage 500 500 Book Storage 800 800 Tier B includes a Commons area (1,000 sq. ft.) and toilets which are calculated over and above the circulation factor of 33 percent. 13. Circulation A multiplier of 33 percent is included for space such as storage, mechanical rooms, hallways, toilets, walls, etc. The multiplier is applied to the total square footage of the Basic School plus each additional level. 14. Cost Per Square Foot For planning purposes, building costs are calculated based on $90 per square foot for construction. Middle School The total square footage of the Basic School, as outlined in this section of the report, is approximately 113,400 square feet. There are two added to the Basic School.. Tier A includes increased space for the afterschool programs, increasing the square footage by a total of 1,620 square feet. The remaining tier includes nearly 17,200 square feet of which a large portion is for special project rooms, additional commons space and additional teacher workspace. Page 7 11 1. Capacity The capacity of the middle school is 700 students. 2. School Sites The middle school site is based on the NC Public School Facility Standards which requires that a middle school have a minimum of 15 usable acres plus one usable acre per each 100 average daily membership (ADM). Therefore the minimum school site for a 700 student middle school is 22 usable acres. 3. Classrooms and Associated Storage Basic School - 32,500 sq. ft. Tier B - Add 2,550 sq. ft. The Basic School includes classrooms at the upper end of the range provided by the State Department of Public Instruction. The larger classrooms allow technology to be integrated into the classrooms.

The State recommends that combined or shared space for teacher's offices/workspace be provided. There should be at least one centralized workroom that houses equipment such as the copy machine, duplicator, specialized computers, etc. The size of the lounge area is determined by the building plan and faculty size. The lounge should provide limited kitchen facilities. Included in the Basic School is one workspace for each grade (450 sq. ft. each) and a teacher's lounge (450 sq. ft.). Tier A includes additional workspace for teachers, including offices and conference rooms. Tier B includes additional conference rooms and teacher workspace. Note that the square footage for Tiers 1 and 3 are based on the space identified for the professional staff for the elementary school. Local Standards NC Public School Facility Standards (Sq. Ft) (Sq. Ft). Teachers' Workrooms: 1,350 For grades 4 and above, 80 to 100 square feet per teacher is required. Teachers' 450 required but size varies according to the LoungelWorkarea facility and other additional space. Tier A includes additional offices and workspace for teachers totaling 2,000 square feet. Tier B includes additional workrooms, offices and conference space. 11. Cafeteria/Food Service Basic School - 5,240 sq. ft. The State uses a formula for determining the appropriate size for the dining room and kitchen area The dining area should provide between 12 and 14 square feet per pupil dining. Based on three seatings, the size of the dining room should be at a minimum 2,400 square feet to 2,800 square feet. The kitchen space is based on the number of meals served. A kitchen preparing 750 meals should be at least 1,938 square feet. The local Page 12 16 standards for the Basic School includes a dining area of 3,300 square feet and a kitchen/serving area of 1,940 square feet. 12. Miscellaneous/Commons Basic School - 3,400 sq. ft. Tier B - Add 1,855 sq. ft. This area includes miscellaneous space such as additional storage, receiving area, book storage and School Commons area. Local Standards (Sq. Ft) NC Public School Facility Standards (Sq. Ft). Receiving Area 200 Custodial/Book 900 Storage Book Storage 800 Student Commons 1,500 1,500 Tier B includes a larger activities lobby (500 sq. ft.) and three academic house centrums at 1,000 square feet each(total 3,500 sq. ft.). 13. Circulation A multiplier of 35 percent is included for space such as storage, mechanical rooms, hallways, toilets, walls, etc. The multiplier is applied to the total square footage of the Basic School plus each additional level. A larger circulation factor than the factor used for an elementary school is necessary for a middle school due to the more complex nature of the facility (laboratories, additional plumbing, etc,) and additional space needed for the hallways (student lockers). 14. Cost Per Square Foot For planning purposes a cost of$95 per square.loot for construction is to be used. Other Facility Considerations Technology Technology for new school construction projects should include funds for the installation of cabling network within the school. The network should be designed to accommodate voice, data and video educational requirements. Realizing that specifics for the technology infrastructure Page 13 17 may differ depending upon user needs a cost allowance as suggested by the Department of Public Instruction of$1.75 per building square foot should be used. Equipment such as computers, file servers, printers, telephones, copiers, facsimiles, and video recorders should also be included in the budget. For planning purposes, an estimate of$4.00 per square foot is to be used. Energy Efficiencies An approved industry standard that measures energy use is the British Thermal Unit (BTU). Electric and natural gas consumption can easily be converted into BTUs and comparative analysis can be developed. Today's energy efficient schools should operate in the range of 40,000 to 50,000 BTU per square foot. This range allows for computer equipment in classrooms and after hour use of facilities. If an energy usage target is established for construction of new schools, the planners have the flexibility of specifying the mix of mechanical systems, chillers, daylighting techniques, roofing systems, insulation, energy management systems, etc. to achieve the agreed upon energy goal. An integral part of the equipment specification process includes the development of life cycle cost analysis data regarding the proposed equipment. The energy BTU goal and life cycle cost analysis should be a required amendment in the contract between the school system and architect/engineer. Other recommendations in this area include: (1)all classrooms should have exterior exposure with windows; and (2) heating and cooling systems should be easily interchangeable. Site Issues The property size of new schools should at a minimum follow established recommendations from the Department of Public Instruction. These are: Elementary School 10 usable acres plus 1 usable acre per 100 students Middle School 15 usable acres plus 1 usable acre per 100 students High School 30 usable acres plus 1 usable acre per 100 students School systems should actively pursue partnering agreements with the towns and the County Parks and Recreation Departments, private developers, and businesses in an effort to maximize shared facilities. Other site considerations include: 1. Landscaping and buffers should be included in all school plans. 2. Athletic fields at the high school and middle school level should be equipped with irrigation systems. At a minimum, irrigation should be installed on the primary Page 14 18 event field. Additionally, water should be available for plants and grass in the immediate vicinity of the buildings. 3. Covered walkways should be provided at the student drop-off areas, main entrances, and bus loading areas. 4. Adequate parking for staff and visitors should be provided.
