INTRODUCTIONexecut ive summaryPROJECT SUMMARYThe new elementary school for Gadsden Independent School District (GISD) is for a facility to adequacy for a core of 550 with classrooms for 250 students to serve grades K-6th. Allowable GSF per PSFA Adequacy Standards for the facility will be 50,871gsf as indicated in the Program of Spaces spreadsheet. The Educational Specifications (Ed Spec) for this school were created by Architectural Research Consultants in 2013 for Desert View ES and will be also used for the new Chaparral ES project. This Ed Spec is for a new elementary school to adequacy for a total of 550 students and a total of 68,750gsf. Currently, Desert Trail Elementary School and Chaparral Elementary School both exceed their population capacity. The design committee includes representatives from district staff, PSFA, school administration from Desert Trail Elementary School, and the community.

This program submittal is based on the following:• Compliance with PSFA’s Adequacy Standards• Adherence to the key concepts of the Ed Specs• Minor changes to the proposed space program based on input

from staff and the design committee

Included in this submittal are a detailed Space Program that reflects spaces that are needed to support the curriculum and implement the ED Spec. Based upon information gathered from the ED Spec and meetings with the Design Committee, the new elementary school should comprise of a core that can not only accommodate school activities, but also serve the community for public events, provide classrooms with ample storage, and offer flexible learning environments. This narrative provides background on key aspects of the project and summarizes the detailed information found in the supporting documents.

PROJECT GOALSThe Ed Spec established multiple project goals, which can be summarized as follows:1. Create a safe school with visitor control.2. Create a facility that is easy to lock down.3. Make the school inviting NOT prison like.4. Provide clear separation of vehicular and pedestrian

circulation.5. Provide hands-on education with gardens.6. Design to encourage community use of the site and after

school activities: walking, Zumba, and summer youth programs.

7. Encourage community use of library.8. Provide safe playgrounds with fall zones and shade.9. Provide ample space/seating for assembly-type events.10. Design every classroom to have a sink to meet EPSS plan.11. Include extra classrooms for either science or as a surge

classroom.

12. Design a large bookroom attached to half-classroom.13. Separate the Dining room from the gymnasium.14. Allow for future bleachers in gymnasium.15. Provide adequate storage.16. Include restrooms in first grade classrooms.17. Improve classroom sizes.18. Design HVAC system that is easy to operate and maintain.19. Provide a newcomer program - unique to school.

The Design Committee added the following additional goals:1. Provide a school layout that can be used for public events

without providing access to the entire school.2. Raised Platform is desired within the cafeteria/ gymnasium.3. Multiple computer labs.4. Cafeteria to have easy access to playground and bus area.



INTRODUCTIONexecut ive summaryPROGRAMMING AND UTILIZATIONThe ED Spec proposed Program for the New Chaparral Elementary School has been revised based on discussions with school staff, Design Committee, and GISD. Many of the changes are driven by the desire to have flexible learning spaces that can serve different needs depending on the population and curriculum. These revisions include:

• Sinks (with hot and cold water) to be provided in every classroom for K-6th grades. The sinks are needed for teaching certain science curriculums.

• Individual restroom for each kindergarten classroom as opposed to a shared restroom between two kindergarten classrooms.

• A shared restroom for every two 1st grade classrooms.• D/P/S used test fit diagrams to illustrate the benefits of having

casework storage within classroom as opposed to having a separate storage room. The Committee is in favor of using this strategy.

• A shared storage closet for a cluster of classrooms was considered, but the Committee was not in favor of the idea due to the difficulty of keeping track of belongings.

• If any spaces have to be cut out of the General Classroom spaces, the Committee would prefer the Multi-age classroom be eliminated.

• No space will be required for in-school suspension.• The Committee would like the teacher lounge and teacher

workroom as two separate spaces.• The head nurse & nurse assistant will share an office.• A cot room will accommodate four cots with curtain dividers

for privacy.• Waiting/reception space for the Nurse’s area is not needed.• No shower will be needed in the Nurse Area toilet if one is

provided in the D level classroom located nearby.• Math 180 and Reading 180 classes are used by the district

to help advance under performing students. A dedicated classroom will need to be provided for each course. Each classroom will have a dedicated teacher with students rotating in and out throughout the day.

• The Committee would like a raised platform in the gymnasium.• The Committee explained that they have tried computers

on wheels (COWS) and have had trouble with the system. They would prefer that two computer labs be provided for the new school (30 computer stations each). One lab will be accommodated in the Media Center and second will be in a separate space.

• Four computer stations will be provided for each K-6th classroom.

• Special Ed spaces were discussed with Randall Rapanut and

Rafael Gallegos. It was determined that two Type I and Type II classroom will be provided along with a Early Childhood (DD) classroom and the necessary support spaces.

• The cafeteria will be sized to accommodate three servings (the district uses a continual serving method).

• Cafeteria and gymnasium will be connected. A divider between the spaces may be needed.

• The Gymnasium will be reduced in size from 3,900sf to 2,400sf now that the cafeteria will be connected to the gymnasium.

• Separate Kiln room is not needed. Utilities needed for a kiln to be stubbed out at an exterior location in case an exterior kiln needs to be added in the future.

• No grounds storage room is needed in the school building. An exterior concrete pad will be provided with necessary utilities so that the district can provide a portable building for grounds storage when needed.

These changes do not affect the overall square footage, and all of the proposed spaces still meet or exceed Adequacy Standards. Discussion of classroom needs, anticipated furniture and equipment, and test fit diagrams confirmed that the classroom sizes proposed in the Ed Spec will meet School needs.



INTRODUCTIONexecut ive summaryPROGRAMMING AND UTILIZATIONDiscussions of the adjacency relationships expressed in the Ed Spec confirmed the following desired relationships:• Create a cafeteria adjacent to the playground so children

do not have to travel through vehicular zones to access the playground.

• Create a core that is accessible to the community but allows for classroom wings to be closed off. This core will provide restrooms for the public when after-hour activities are held and will limit access to the rest of the facility as needed. For reading night (which is usually held in the corridors and classrooms) the entire school can be open to the public.

• Group classes by grade level: with K-2 together and 3-6 together.

• Cafeteria, gymnasium, and raised platform to be connected. A divider between the spaces may be needed.

The design for all classrooms, with the exception of the Kindergarten classrooms, will be standardized to allow for instructional flexibility and the option of serving different grade levels depending on the student population of a given school year.

PROJECT SITEThe Colquitt Company donated a 15-acre site to GISD for the New Chaparral Elementary School. The site can be accessed by Angelina Blvd. west of U.S. 54. The site is covered with relatively small dunes and slopes downward from southwest to the northeast and is undeveloped. The neighboring properties are mostly natural desert landscape with a large Photovoltaic Power Station adjacent to the site's west boundary. Sewer, water, and fiber-optic backbone lines appear to be close by on adjacent roads. There is no evidence of three phase power near by the site. The new school site is farther outside of Chaparral than the existing two elementary schools, so the district anticipates the majority of children will need bus service. A traffic study if needed, will be done evaluating the impact of access options to the site, keeping in mind the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists. From the northwest to the southwest are views of the Franklin Mountain Range.

PROJECT SITEs i te analys is

This site analysis illustrates the existing physical and environmental conditions of the proposed Chaparral New Elementary School site.

The site is bordered on the west by a large scale solar energy plant and developing residential neighborhoods to the south. Currently to the north and east the land is undeveloped and remains natural desert. The site is in close proximity to existing utilities but may have to bring in three phase power. The site will be studied in detail in schematic design to determine the building footprint and siting and address site circulation challenges.

SUPPORTING MATERIALSproject budgetThe Preliminary Opinion of Probable Cost of Construction reflects our current understanding of the established MACC.The established MACC for the proposed facility is $14,866,200. This MACC is representative of a facility to adequacy for a core of 550 students with classrooms for 250 students in alignment with the Educational Specifications.

The below Programming Phase cost estimate is in line with the established Maximum Allowable Construction Cost (MACC) for the project.

This estimate will be refined in collaboration with GISD and PSFA as the project moves forward and geotechnical investigation is completed further informing the soils condition and recommendations for the building footings.

Meeting Minutes Project No.: 14-0027.001 Project: GISD NEW CHAPARRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Date: March 31, 2014 Place: Desert Trail Elementary School Library Attending: See Attendance Record (attached) By: Owen Kramme, Dekker/Perich/Sabatini (D/P/S) Copies To: Earl Franks, PSFA; Rafael Gallegos, GISD; Lucy Fischer, DTE;

Miguel Villalobos, DTE; Maria Alba, DTE; Cynthia Voldahl, DTE; Ana M. Stewart, DTE; Alvaro Jimarez, Parent of Student; Benjamin Gardner, D/P/S; Sanjay Kadu, D/P/S; Hartwell Briggs, D/P/S; Tim Grattan, D/P/S; Helena Lickteig D/P/S; Owen Kramme, D/P/S

Issue Date: April 07, 2014 Discussion Items: 1. Brief introductions were conducted by each Committee individual and the Project Team.

2. Lines of communication were established. All emails to be sent to Rafael Gallegos, Earl Franks, and Sanjay Kadu for distribution to the Design Committee and other design team members.

3. Website - Project website will be established at http://www.dpsdesign.org/ces The Design Committee was in favor of posting project related material to the web site for public access.

4. Design process overview was conducted by Sanjay Kadu a. The role of the design committee was explained .

1. The design committee will act as an ambassador to the greater community. 2. Communication is the key. Concerns to be quickly communicated by both, the Design Team and the

Design Committee. b. Design Process

1. Education Specifications (Ed Spec) i. Complied by Architectural Research Consultants. ii. Pre-design evaluation to define the physical and performance requirements for the new facility. The

Ed Spec is used to ensure programming and curricular needs of the school district are being met. iii. A steering committee, appointed by the Board, was consulted in the development of the Ed Spec. iv. Ed Specs will be uploaded to the website for the design committee to access. v. Overall design process for the new school will include following phases;

a. Programming b. Schematic Design c. Design Development d. Construction Document

c. General Programming 1. Ed Specs helped to inform the desired spaces of the project as noted in the Program Spreadsheet. 2. The Program Spreadsheet was developed to be able to compare the state adequacy, Ed Spec and Proposed

square footage for each space. 3. Tare was then added to the assignable square footage to determine the buildings gross square footage. Tare

includes any unassigned space such as corridors, walls, mechanical and electrical rooms and restrooms. 4. Adjacency Diagrams provided within the Ed Spec act as a guide to determining which spaces need to be in

proximity to each other. d. Program Discussion and Design Committee comments;

1. Water quality does not seem to be a concern as was mentioned in the Ed Spec. 2. Water Pressure for Fire suppression may be a concern and will need to be tested. 3. DPS to coordinate districts technology guidelines. 4. The Design Committee to provide DPS with an events calendar for the fall semester of 2014,

so that a presentation of the project to the public can be scheduled. 5. The Committee would like sinks (with hot and cold water) to be provided at every classroom

in the school K-6th grades. The sinks are needed for teaching certain science curriculum.

6. The Committee would like individual restroom for each kindergarten classroom opposed to a shared restroom between 2 kindergarten classrooms.

7. DPS illustrated the potential of having the storage within the classroom as casework with test fit diagrams as opposed to having a separate storage room. The Committee agreed that the storage would be more beneficial in the classroom and would prefer that to a separate storage room.

8. The question was presented for providing a shared storage closet for a cluster of classrooms but the Committee was not in favor of this idea due to keeping track of belongings.

9. If any spaces have to be cut out of the General Classroom spaces then the Committee would prefer the Multi-age classroom be eliminated.

10. No space will be required for in school suspension. 11. The Committee would like the teacher lounge and teacher workroom as 2 separate spaces. 12. The head nurse & nurse assistant will share an office. 13. Cot room to accommodate 3 cots with curtain dividers for privacy. 14. Waiting/ reception space for the Nurse’s area is not needed. 15. No shower will be needed in the Nurse Area toilet if one is provided in the D level suite. 16. Math 180 and Reading 180 classes are used by the district to help advance underperforming students. A

dedicated classroom will need to be provided for each. Each classroom will have a dedicated teacher with students rotating in and out throughout the day.

17. The Design Committee was asked how they conduct events with the community and what type of events are held at the elementary school. Response was that multiple parts of the school are used for different events. After further discussion the Design Committee preferred the idea of having a core that was accessible to the community but allowed for classroom wings to be locked down. This core would provide restrooms for the public when after-hour activities are held at the school and would limit access to the facility as needed. For reading night (which is usually held in the corridors and classrooms) the entire school can be opened up to the public.

18. The Design Committee desires the cafeteria and playground to be adjacent so that children do not have to travel through vehicular zones to access the playground.

19. The Committee would like a raised platform in the gymnasium. 20. The Committee was asked about the need for a computer lab. The Design Professional informed the

committee about other current projects and how computer labs are being replaced with COWS (Computers On Wheels) & Tablets so that every room can become a computer lab as needed. The Committee explained that they have tried COWS and have had trouble with the system. They would prefer that 2 computer labs be provided for the new school (30 computer stations each). One lab to be accommodated in the Media Center and second to be a separate space.

21. 4 computer stations to be provided in every classroom K-6th grades. 22. Special Ed spaces to be further discussed with the school district. 23. The cafeteria will be sized based on 3 servings (the district uses a continual serving method). 24. Cafeteria and gymnasium to be connected. A divider between the spaces may be needed. 25. The Gymnasium will be reduced in size from 3900 SF to 2400 SF now that the cafeteria will be connected

to the gymnasium. 26. Separate Kiln room is not needed. Utilities needed for a kiln to be stubbed out at an exterior location in case

exterior kiln needs to be added in future. 27. No grounds storage room is needed in the school building. A exterior concrete pad will be provided with

necessary utilities so that the district can provide a portable building for grounds storage when needed. 28. Revised Program of Spaces spread sheet is attached with the minutes

Dining room to be separate from gymnasium 12. Space allowance for future bleachers in gymnasium 13. Adequate storage 14. Restrooms in first grade classrooms 15. HVAC system that is easy to operate and maintain 16. Newcomer program- Unique to the school

6. The following additional goals were added by the Design Committee:

a. Possibly create a bus depot on site so that buses to not have to drive back to Anthony twice a day. Ralph explained that this is a contracted service and that maintenance, driver shuttles, etc add complexity to this issue.

b. Provide a school layout that can be used for public events without providing access to the entire school. c. Raised Platform is desired within the cafeteria/ Gymnasium. d. Multiple computer labs. e. Cafeteria to have easy pedestrian access to playground and bus area.

7. Next Steps:

a. Review of revised Program Spreadsheet and overall building area. b. Review the graphic program. c. Review Site Analysis and site challenges and advantages d. Present design concepts for new school and have Design Committee participate in design discussions
