Overview of HMS Facility Planning Educational Specifications Committee November 16, 2005 Educational Specifications Committee November 16, 2005

Overview of Proposed Changes  Additional classroom space  New office space  Ventilation/Circulation system upgrade  Replacement of single-pane windows  Increased storage  Additional classroom space  New office space  Ventilation/Circulation system upgrade  Replacement of single-pane windows  Increased storage

Additional Classroom Space  As the result of the recent addition of preschool, HMS has become crowded.  The special education space is tighter.  The reading team is utilizing a space designed for storage.  The custodians lost their office.  Preschool is now in a small space originally designed for the Learning Center.  As the result of the recent addition of preschool, HMS has become crowded.  The special education space is tighter.  The reading team is utilizing a space designed for storage.  The custodians lost their office.  Preschool is now in a small space originally designed for the Learning Center.

Thus, educationally speaking…  The addition of an extra classroom would allow either preschool or another class to inhabit new space.  It would allow the special education personnel to finally be able to utilize proper office space and allow for extra instructional space for one-on-one situations.  It may provide extra storage space that is greatly needed.  We may be able to move the Reading Team back into space not designed for storage.  The addition of an extra classroom would allow either preschool or another class to inhabit new space.  It would allow the special education personnel to finally be able to utilize proper office space and allow for extra instructional space for one-on-one situations.  It may provide extra storage space that is greatly needed.  We may be able to move the Reading Team back into space not designed for storage.

New Office Space  The reception area in the HMS office is minimal.  The Nurse’s Office is exceedingly small and inadequate, lacking privacy and bathroom facilities.  HMS has no functional conference room with privacy. There is no space for more than six adults comfortably.  The reception area in the HMS office is minimal.  The Nurse’s Office is exceedingly small and inadequate, lacking privacy and bathroom facilities.  HMS has no functional conference room with privacy. There is no space for more than six adults comfortably.

Thus, educationally speaking…  We would build an office space of approximately 1650 square feet.  Principal’s Office: 200 square feet  Nurse’s office: 250 square feet  Conference Room: 350 square feet  Administrative Asst. and Core space: 600 square feet  Storage: 250 square feet  We would build an office space of approximately 1650 square feet.  Principal’s Office: 200 square feet  Nurse’s office: 250 square feet  Conference Room: 350 square feet  Administrative Asst. and Core space: 600 square feet  Storage: 250 square feet

Ventilation/Circulation System Upgrade  Our Heating and Ventilation system consists of air circulation of about 10 CFM in classrooms and common areas.  The school building standard is 21 CFM.  Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM): A unit of measurement. The volume or rate of airflow.  Our Heating and Ventilation system consists of air circulation of about 10 CFM in classrooms and common areas.  The school building standard is 21 CFM.  Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM): A unit of measurement.

Other HVAC options  Air conditioning to the library or other second floor areas.  Digital system for boilers and mechanical systems to improve operational efficiency and control  Air conditioning to the library or other second floor areas.  Digital system for boilers and mechanical systems to improve operational efficiency and control

Thus, educationally speaking…  The upgrade of our HVAC system would be much healthier for both adults and children. We currently have sub par air circulation.  We are likely to save money over time with a more efficient system  The upgrade of our HVAC system would be much healthier for both adults and children.

Replacement of Single-Pane Windows  Our older, second floor section has very old and inefficient windows  Replace these windows as well as the windows by the music room entrance.  For example, fuel costs:  HMS: $14,963 or $.32/sq. ft.  HMHS: $18,773 or $.25/sq. ft.  Our older, second floor section has very old and inefficient windows  Replace these windows as well as the windows by the music room entrance.  For example, fuel costs:  HMS: $14,963 or $.32/sq. ft.  HMHS: $18,773 or $.25/sq. ft.

Thus, educationally speaking…  The replacement of these windows…  Will result in major cost savings over time.  Will allow for temperature to be much more even throughout the building  The replacement of these windows…  Will result in major cost savings over time.  Will allow for temperature to be much more even throughout the building
