Ocean View Elementary School – Educational Specifications – Aug 2019

Introduction

Albany Unified School District (AUSD) has collaborated with Gould Evans, Inc. to create an Educational Specifications (Ed Spec) which is reflective of the Ocean View Elementary School’s intended educational needs and the facility design that supports them. This completed EdSpec will be an important piece of AUSD’s ongoing documentation of needs at the elementary school level.

Gould Evans worked with the Ocean View Elementary School (OVES) principal, teachers and staff, selected members of the Board of Education and the AUSD administrative staff to best represent the guiding principles for both the school, families and the greater Albany community. Through a series of stakeholder meetings and presentations, the intent for this Education Specification is to represent this particular school site.

3. Vision and Process

The Albany Ocean View Elementary School Education Specification journey began in early November 2018 with the Albany USD stakeholder group, comprised of the Principal, Teachers, Librarian, Board of Education members, the Technology Director, the Superintendent, the Integrated Design Commitee, parents, the bridging document architect, a student representatve and other invited guests. This process has led to a comprehensive conceptual campus design that meets the guiding principles for the project and is both community-facing and inclusive. In addition to meeting the many educational and pedagogical needs for the school, the proposed project anchors the West Albany families to this long-term vibrant community and the UC Village families that only stay a few years.

The following Guiding Principles were established through a series of stakeholder meetings, which reflect the pedagogical direction of the new elementary school.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES:

• Adaptability and Multi-Use: shall be used for learning to take place at all times; learning happens everywhere.

• Connection to the Environment: It is important that natural light, ventilation and sustainability in learning environments—and ease of access to outdoor learning environments and physical education areas—are integrated into all aspects of the school design.

• Creating Community: Allowing students to have ownership of their learning and the spaces in which they learn, STEM and “Maker Ethos”, and engagement of the whole family.

By extending outdoor learning, providing non-glare, naturally lit and ventilated learningenvironments, and optimizing “space within space” for every square foot of the Ocean ViewElementary campus, the design approach has been refective of the educational programming.The OVES stakeholders believe that to promote “self-directed learners, is to connect them tonatural spaces.” All outdoor spaces are thus “expandable”, which is exemplifed in the conceptof the Shared Resources that open up to the outdoor courtyards. Engaged learning can happeneverywhere.

While the campus is designed to leverage connections to the environment, it remains a fullysecure and safe school with controlled access points and protective fencing that surrounds.Community access at the north of the site continues to be available to neighborhood familiesafter school hours and on the weekends.

PROJECT DESCRIPTIONOcean View Elementary School, located on the western side of the City of Albany, serves students and families from the neighboring residential areas as well as University of California, Berkeley’s University Village. The front entry for the school is on Jackson Street (maintained by UC Berkeley), with Buchanan Street to the north, Village Creek to the South and Ocean View Park to the west.

The new school remains a community school. The public community-facing gathering courtyard at the front plaza area is the place for arrival. The entry plaza is on the direct path of travel from the Buchanan and Jackson Street intersection, as well as the sidewalk connecting to the south with UC Village. Drop-off and pick-up vehicular area is located on Jackson Street, along with a Kinder parking area. Staff parking is located on the north side of the property.

The campus is comprised of the following:

• One story and two story classroom buildings for Kinder and Grades 1-5

• Administration building and support spaces

• Library

• Science Room

• Special Resources Building (existing to remain)

• Multi-Purpose Room (existing to remain)

• Aftercare classrooms (existing to remain)

• Student and Staff Restrooms

• Storage and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing support spaces

• Outdoor learning and play areas

In addition, the Guiding Principles established for Ocean View Elementary School are woven into the pedagogical and facility development through design elements created as “Shared Resources” such as:

• Workrooms between pairs of grade level classrooms

• Library and Maker Space in the heart of the campus

• Special Education learning environments which are fully integrated into the campus design

• A Family Courtyard that is central to the outdoor learning areas, the Administration Offices and Reception.


To promote outdoor learning, the connection to natural spaces is strengthened at this campus. All outdoor spaces are thus “expandable” as follows:

• Learning Courtyards directly adjacent to learning environments

• Second Floor Learning Decks

• Outdoor reading areas adjacent to the Library

While the campus is designed to leverage connections to the environment, it remains a fully secure and safe school with controlled access points and protective fencing that surrounds. Community access at the north of the site continues to be available to neighborhood families after school hours and on the weekends.

This school will meet the criteria for Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS), which serves as a guideline for integrated sustainability, energy efficiency and healthy building practices.

Outdoor Learning and Play Areas

OUTDOOR LEARNING AND PLAY AREAS

Activities and Uses: The outdoor eating area will be provided with picnic tables and an overhead shade structure for use during lunch and snack times. An adjacent learning garden will serve as a space for teachers to demonstrate topics learned and to give students hands-on feld experience with plants, soil, and the many subjects related to ecology. The garden will incorporate both vegetable and pollinator planting.

Sustainability: High efficiency HVAC equipment with economiz-ers. Design goal is to be ZNE (zero net energy) ready. Bio-swales collect storm water and store it on site. Roof overhangs, window overhangs, and walkway provides shade to south and west win-dows and reduce heat gain. A rainwater catchment system will provide the opportunity for a learning demonstration for students. Additionally, bioret-ention areas will be incorporated throughout the campus as necessary, acting as both a functional biofiltration system and learning demonstration for students.
