Past Experience in Design and Construction Standards Klein Elementary School No. 24 Past experience shows most District's have Standards in place or none at all, this request to update standards is unique MSA has extensive experience in working with District’s without Design and Construction Standards Without District Standards : research, experience and construction knowledge is critical As the design of a Building evolves the Standards evolve. Once the construction documents are complete the latest Standards are created

Firm’s Approach 3 Step Plan Step 1 Review existing Standards with input from School District – Identify what works and what doesn’t work Step 2 Once issues identified utilize other School Districts and other sources to resolve Step 3 Execute changes based on sound judgment and reason

Execution – Step 1 MSA becomes a Facilitator in Department Meetings Energy Manager Nurse Safe and Secure Schools Technology Department Facility and Maintenance Fine Arts Athletics Child Nutrition Library Matrix Spencer And Fort Bend ISD Administration Execution of 3 step process involves: meetings, site visits, surveys, questionnaires and trend studies.

Trend Considerations Strategies to design and construct sustainable energy-efficient facilities while balancing proven district standards and practices Consideration for achieving a LEED certified or Texas CHPS designed school Increasing building envelope efficiency as a way to minimize energy loads Smart Classrooms - Daylight harvesting, indoor air quality, high performance lighting, furniture and interactive white boards Design buildings as a teaching tool for a learning environment. Examples include: School Gardens, water harvesting tank and touch screens Adaptive and varied learning spaces that are responsive to new methods of curriculum delivery. The building allows for change Standards should look beyond 2011 and not be outdated once issued

Execution - Step 2

Execution - Step 3 Implementation of new design standards based on sound judgment

Why we need standards…
