The purpose of the feasibility study was to assess the collocation of the Maryvale Elementary School program with the Carl Sandburg Learning Center program, at the existing Maryvale Elementary School site located at 1000 1st Street in Rockville, Maryland. The programmatic goal for the collocated facility is to have the Maryvale Elementary School with a student capacity of 748, and a core capacity of 740 students, collocated with the Carl Sandburg Learning Center with a student capacity of 142. Architecture, Inc. would like to thank all of the feasibility study participants for their time and commitment to this task. Their enthusiastic attitude, creative ideas and thorough analysis have helped make this study meaningful for the school system and the community at large.


II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. PURPOSE

This feasibility study develops design alternatives and related costs for the collocation of Maryvale Elementary School with the Carl Sandburg Learning Center at the Maryvale Elementary School site. Three design alternatives are analyzed in consideration of the educational specifications, objectives of each school program, physical limitations of the existing site and applicable codes and regulations. A preferred option as chosen by the feasibility study participants is designated as Option 1.

B. HISTORY The Maryvale Elementary School facility is located at 1000 1st Street in Rockville, Maryland. The existing Maryvale Elementary School facility was constructed in 1969 as the Southlawn Middle School. The original single-story structure remains essentially as originally constructed. The current Maryvale Elementary School program replaced the original middle school program circa 1982. Beyond the above noted program change, the building has received only minor modifications and upgrades throughout its history.

C. METHODOLOGY Evaluation of the existing facility and site was conducted by the design team of architects and engineers to determine the feasibility for the proposed collocation, which will comply with the educational specifications for each school. The methodology employed in this study included a thorough review of all data and drawings that were made available with respect to existing site conditions, visits to the site to conduct an existing conditions survey, meetings with the feasibility study participants and MCPS staff, incorporation of review comments and objectives of the educational specifications and the development of alternatives in response to the educational programs for each school and existing site limitations.

D. SUMMARY This study assessed the advantages and disadvantages of varied approaches for implementation of the current educational specifications for the Maryvale Elementary School and Carl Sandburg Learning Center educational programs on the Maryvale Elementary School site. Creation of a new collocated facility to house the educational programs was reviewed as well as reuse of the existing 45-year old facility to accommodate the educational programs. These approaches were discussed, reviewed and refined with input from the feasibility study participants. The existing Maryvale Elementary School facility will be unable, without enlargement, to accommodate the proposed collocated programs including the Maryvale Elementary School program with a projected capacity of 748, and a core capacity of 740; and the Carl Sandburg Learning Center program with a projected capacity of 142. The existing facility is capable of accommodating only a small portion of the program requirements. The existing Maryvale Elementary School facility would require an extensive expansion to accommodate the collocated programs, as all proposed spatial requirements will not fit within the existing building envelope. Additionally, the existing building’s location on the site precludes development of the required programmatic site


elements: specifically separate bus cueing for each program; separate parent drop-off for each program; and parking. Based upon the inability of the site to meet the programmatic requirements while attempting to maintain the existing Maryvale Elementary School structure and the magnitude of the existing building expansion required to accommodate the collocated educational programs, reuse of the existing facility was determined to be the least-favored option. Site topography varies greatly with a street elevation ranging from approximately 412 ft to 416 ft, and an existing finished floor level of 422 ft. The site slopes up steeply from building level (422 ft) to the existing athletic field elevation of approximately 430 ft. The varying site elevations in conjunction with the goal to provide at-grade access from the school to the exterior play areas and ball fields as well as separate bus loops and parent drop-off -zones for each program necessitated the exploration of options for leveling the site. Several options were reviewed during the process. After much evaluation, three options were pursued in detail for the new facility. Each of these plan options incorporate key elements for the implementation of the educational programs into a new collocated facility including: • A new state of the art facility which meets the educational specifications for each school. • Administrative areas for each school located adjacent to one another to facilitate teaming and sharing of staff resources. • Administrative areas that are centrally located and adjacent to each school’s main entrance to provide security and

oversight of the school entrance, parent drop-off, bus loop and parking areas. • A single-story structure for Carl Sandburg Learning Center. • A two-story structure for Maryvale Elementary School. • A media center that is centrally located with possible shared general stack areas as well as break out spaces for each

school. • A shared kitchen and building service areas. • Separate gymnasium and multipurpose rooms for each school. • Multipurpose rooms that are conveniently located to ball fields and outdoor play areas. • Bus and parent traffic routes that are separated as much as practical. • Ball fields to serve as buffer zone between each school’s outdoor play areas. • An energy-efficient, environmentally conscious design as the basis for LEED silver certification. • Maintain the identity of each school. • Provide opportunities for students to interact when appropriate • Recognize special education students for their individual capabilities. Three options were developed that met the programmatic requirements provided by MCPS. Cost estimates are provided for each option. After review and discussion, Option 1 was selected as the preferred option that best meets the requirements outlined above.

I. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS All of the options have the ability to solve the various challenges associated with the collocation of the Maryvale Elementary School program with the Carl Sandburg Learning Center program, at the existing Maryvale Elementary School site. Each of the three options solves these challenges by distinctly different means. Of the three schemes created, the preferred option is Option 1. This option provides the best solution for the creation of a new collocated building. Option 1 provides separate identities for each school with separate main entrances and separate front facades. This option creates adjacent centrally located administrative areas, each with good security oversight of school entrances, parent drop-offs, bus loops and parking areas. Option 1 also makes efficient use of the site, accommodating the desired locations for outdoor play areas and ball fields for each school while providing separate traffic loops for both schools. Based upon the above noted factors, it is recommended that Option I, as depicted herein, and its associated site improvements be implemented.

III. PROJECT SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY

A. SCOPE AND INTENT The purpose of this feasibility study is to evaluate several alternative options for the collocation of Maryvale Elementary School with the Carl Sandburg Learning Center at the Maryvale Elementary School site in order to provide Montgomery County Public Schools with sufficient data to determine the necessary scheduling and funding. Cost estimates for each option have been developed as a basis for consideration in the decision making process. Presently, Maryvale Elementary School enrollment is 581 in Grades prekindergarten – 5. Current enrollment at the Carl Sandburg Learning Center is 125. The proposed collocation will increase the projected Maryvale Elementary School student capacity to 748 and the Carl Sandburg Learning Center capacity to 142. The scope of work includes an evaluation of the existing Maryvale Elementary School building and site with respect to the needs of the proposed collocated educational specifications and applicable codes and regulations. The objective of the evaluation is to determine the feasibility of the existing building and site, and design alternatives to provide a physical plant that is conducive to the instructional philosophy, visions and goals of the two schools and the community. In addition to collecting and reviewing available data, the design team participated in progress review meetings at both schools with each school’s administration, MCPS staff and community representatives. As each design alternative was presented and reviewed during the feasibility study, comments were recorded and alternative schemes revised accordingly. The three options are presented herein with Option 1 being the preferred option.

V. EXISTING CONDITIONS

VICINITY MAP


V. EXISTING CONDITIONS, Continued

EXISTING SITE PLAN


V. EXISTING CONDITIONS, Continued DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING FACILITIES The existing Maryvale Elementary School facility was originally constructed in 1969 as the Southlawn Middle School and consists of a sprawling single-story building. The existing building design is fairly rectilinear with the primary central corridors creating a circulation route around the media center located at the building’s core. The main entry is flanked by classrooms to the south and the multipurpose room to the north, and leads to the main office and administrative area. The gymnasium is remote from the building core, connected via corridor to the north of the main building areas. The existing single-story structure has received only minor upgrades throughout its history. These modifications include the following: 1985 – Handicapped accessibility upgrades 1992 – Visual fire alarm system 1993 – Reroofing 2001 – Renovation to create daycare space 2001 – Teacher’s lounge renovation 2002 – HVAC & life safety enhancement 2003 – Life safety improvements 2004 – HVAC & life safety enhancement 2005 – HVAC Renovations 2008 – Toilet room renovations SITE ASSESSMENT 1. Size of Site:

The current school site is located at 1000 1st Street in the City of Rockville. The site is zoned as R-60 so the resulting front yard set back is typically 25’, the rear yard setback is 20’, and side yard is 8’. The school is located north of Norbeck Road (MD 28) and west of Gude Drive. The school is situated on 17.5 acres labeled as Parcel 572 on Tax Map GR 43. An additional 0.17 acres, Parcel 559 is part of the site also (back left). The school site can be found on ADC map 29-E05. The property generally resembles a 1100’ by 700’ rectangle with the building facing 1st Street on the narrower side of the rectangle. The existing building footprint occupies approximately 92,050 square feet; the parking area and bus loop occupy 53,970 square feet and the paved play areas occupy an additional 19,100 square feet; for a total impervious area of approximately 165,120 square feet, or 3.79 acres.

2. Site Features The school property is bordered by single-family houses on the south side (Lincoln Street), industrial buildings to the west and north, and 1st Street to the east. The school was originally built as a middle school in the late 1960s. The first floor elevation is about 422.1 feet and the school building and parking occupies the front half of the site. Significant elevation changes occur across the site. 1st Street generally is about elevation 410 feet, so the parking lot and driveways steeply slope up towards the school resulting in ADA compliance issues. Immediately behind the school is a steep hill that increases from elevation 422 feet up to 432 feet. The rear of the site is occupied by relatively flat multi athletic fields and two softball/baseball backstops. Mulched and asphalt play areas are located around the back left and right side of the school (if the school is viewed from 1st Street).


3. Traffic and Parking:

The property contains an entrance/exit driveway and one exit-only driveway located on the eastern boundary of the property. 1st Street runs along the entire eastern boundary. Buses and cars both enter the site from the northern driveway. All of the parking (103 spots) and student drop off (by parents) occur in a large parking lot off to the right as one enters the school. Busses stay to the left and travel to a long, dedicated loop for their passenger pick up and drop offs. Busses then exit via the southernmost driveway. Parents exit the parking lot by leaving the same entrance from which they entered.

4. Water and Sewer Adequacy: Plans obtained through the MCPS archive site indicate that the water and sewer work all occurred with the original construction of the school in 1968. The water and sewer service to the school is provided by the City of Rockville Department of Public Works. Water is supplied by an 8” cast iron main (with outside meter vault) that is located north of the existing parking lot. The 8” water line connects to an existing 8” line that runs beneath 1st Street. Flow tests will have to be ordered to determine the size of a new service line. The public sewer is also an 8” line and it runs parallel to the 8” water on site. The 8” sanitary field connects to the 8” sewer that is located under 1st Street and flows from north to south along the entire school frontage.

5. Stormwater Management and Storm Drain Relocations: No stormwater management currently exists on site. Stormwater management facilities using environmental site design (ESD) will be provided to the maximum extent practicable, in compliance with State and City of Rockville stormwater management regulations. There are several storm drain lines that collect runoff from most of the site and combine to outfall in a 30” RCP at one location just north of existing entrance to the main parking lot (near water and sewer connections). The very back portion of the ball fields drain out to a swale in the southwest corner of the site (where Pinewood Road dead ends into school site). The front left (southeast) corner of the school, including some of the bus loop/exit, drains out via a swale or curb/gutter into 1st Street.

6. Tree Protection/Forest Conservation:

There are large trees that surround the perimeter of the school and around the front of the school, but no natural forest exists on the site. Two easements were created as part of the Richard Montgomery Modernization in 2007. A .22 acre and 0.35 acre easement were created for tree plantings. The 0.22 acre easement is in the back right (northern) corner and the 0.35 acre easement is in the back left (southwestern) corner. Norton Land Design will conduct the forest conservation plans for the project.


VI. DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS A. GENERAL

Three conceptual options were developed in response to the MCPS educational specifications and the review comments of the feasibility study participants for the collocation of Maryvale Elementary School and Carl Sandburg Learning Center at the Maryvale Elementary School site. Options #1 and #2 propose to demolish the existing building, replacing it with a completely new two-story building. Option #3 proposes to revitalize the majority of the existing facility; demolish a small portion of the existing building; construct a new second floor above the existing single-story building and construct an addition to create an expanded Carl Sandburg Learning Center portion of the proposed new facility. All three options contain all spaces required by the educational program.

B. COMMON DESIGN ELEMENTS 1. Site

There are three building options for the collocation of Maryvale Elementary School and Carl Sandburg Learning Center at the Maryvale Elementary School site. They are all very similar from a site standpoint. The similarities include: • A significant amount of earthwork (cut to haul) will have to occur to maximize the useable (and ADA compliant) area of the

site. • The new school building will have the first floor elevation lowered by about 2’ from the existing school so that ADA

compliant walkways can be constructed between 1st Street and the school. • The perimeter of the site (north and south) will have some retaining walls with the most significant wall along the southern

boundary. • SWM will be provided by using green roofs, porous paving (if soils infiltrate), bio-filters and other environmental site

design (ESD) measures. • New water and sewer connections will be made between the building and the main lines in 1st Street. • A third entrance/exit will be built onto 1st Street. The City of Rockville has indicated they would be amenable to this idea. • A service loop will traverse the area behind the school. • The athletic fields will remain in the rear of the site, but will generally be lowered by about 10’ in elevation. • Forest Conservation will have to occur off site.

2. Structural System The scope of the structural design will be to provide the necessary structural system(s) to support the building’s dead and live loads, and simultaneously be compatible with the architectural scheme and the mechanical and electrical systems. The elementary school and learning center building will use a structural steel frame, which allows the floor and/or roof to be constructed and immediately allow other trades to access the building and start installation of partitions, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc. as well as the exterior masonry and brick walls.


Second floor framing will consist of a 5¼ inch thick composite slab (3¼ inches of lightweight concrete on 2 inch deep steel deck) supported by steel beams and girders with structural steel columns. Roof framing at both the one and two-story areas will consist of a galvanized steel deck supported on open web steel joists and steel girders with structural steel columns.

3. HVAC System The mechanical design will be in accordance with applicable codes and standards, State of Maryland Interagency Committee (IAC), and the Montgomery County Public Schools Facilities Guide. The mechanical system design in conjunction with the entire facility energy consumption shall meet or exceed 30% energy savings above the LEED Baseline system. In general the mechanical system will be single-zone vertical heat pump units coupled with a Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS).The DOAS will provide 100% outdoor air and will utilize plate type heat exchangers for waste energy recovery captured through the building exhaust. The heat exchangers will have a minimum sensible efficiency of 50%. Large areas of occupancy such as the Gymnasium, Cafeteria, Multi-Purpose Rooms, Kitchen and Auditoriums will be conditioned using single zone rooftop heat pump units with Demand Control Ventilation (DCV). Rooftop units will be equipped with electric strip heaters and coil freeze pump connected to emergency power. The water source heat pump system will either be a geothermal ground source system or a standard boiler, cooling tower and flat-plate heat exchanger system as determined by the Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) in accordance with the State of Maryland requirements. The Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system will be controlled by a Direct Digital Control (DDC) based Building Automation System (BAS) with an integral Energy Management System (EMS). Local controls will be provided for split systems, unit heaters and thermostatically controlled exhaust fans. The mechanical system will be commissioned by a Commissioning Agent working in conjunction with the design professionals and the contractors in accordance with the requirements for LEED for Schools.

4. Plumbing System The plumbing design will be in accordance with applicable codes and standards, State of Maryland Interagency Committee (IAC), WSSC, and the Montgomery County Public Schools Facilities Guide. The plumbing system design in conjunction with the entire facility energy consumption shall meet or exceed 30% energy savings above the LEED Baseline system. Low flow plumbing fixtures, as defined in the Montgomery County Public Schools Facilities Guide, will be provided and will reduce the water consumption of the building with respect to the LEED Baseline system. All plumbing fixtures will be provided in accordance with their intended user. Plumbing system specialties will be provided as directed in the Montgomery County Public Schools Facilities Guide. The water heater will be a high efficiency gas-fired water heater with a minimum thermal efficiency of 94% and will generate 140 degree F hot water. The building water tempering valve assembly will mix the 140 degree F hot water, cold water and re-circulated hot water to provide 110 degree F hot water for distribution to the building fixtures. Kitchen fixtures or equipment requiring 140 degree F water will be supplied with such.


Radon venting will be provided for every 5000 sq. ft. of building slab. Backflow preventers will be provided in accordance with WSSC to protect the potable water system. The plumbing system will be commissioned by a commissioning agent working in conjunction with the design professionals and the contractors in accordance with the requirements for LEED for Schools.

5. Fire Protection System The fire protection design will be in accordance with applicable codes and standards, State of Maryland Interagency Committee (IAC), WSSC, NFPA and the Montgomery County Public Schools Facilities Guide. The fire protection system design eventually depends on the flow test data that will be received at a later date. However, for this narrative we are assuming there is adequate street flow and pressure that a fire pump is not required. The building will be fully protected by a wet sprinkler system. Pre-charged dry sprinklers will be provided in areas subject to freezing. If pre-charged dry sprinklers cannot be effectively installed then a dry pipe system will be provided. The system will be hydraulically calculated and the shop drawing plans will be prepared by individuals meeting the requirements of the Montgomery County Public Schools Facilities Guide. The system will be sized in accordance with the appropriate hazard and the sprinkler zoning will be coordinated with the fire alarm system. A fire department connection (siamese connection) will be provided in a location approved by the authority having jurisdiction and it will have a fire hydrant located within 100 feet. The system will connect to the incoming water system downstream of a dedicated backflow preventer (installed by the plumbing contractor) and it will be fully drainable. The fire protection system will be specified to use recycled materials to the greatest extent possible to assist in the building’s LEED rating system.

6. Electrical System The electrical design will be in accordance with applicable codes and standards, State of Maryland Interagency Committee (IAC), and the Montgomery County Public Schools Facilities Guide. The electrical system design in conjunction with the entire facility energy consumption shall meet or exceed 30% energy savings above the LEED Baseline system. A 480Y/277v electrical service will be provided from an outdoor pad-mount transformer. The preliminary size estimate for the school is 3,000kVA. A 4000A, 480Y/277V, 3PH, 4W main switchboard is projected for the project. The distribution system will be sized based on connected loads and copper cabling and bussing used for distribution. Panel boards will be located as indicated in the Montgomery County Public Schools Facilities Guide. Transformers with K-13 ratings and surge protective devices included for all data power panels. An outdoor weather-protected natural gas generator will be provided, unless on-site propane is desired. The emergency system will be broken into a life safety branch and a stand-by branch for optional equipment. The loads will be sub-divided as indicated in the Montgomery County Public Schools Facilities Guide. The preliminary size estimate for the school is 150kW.


Lighting requirements as defined in the Montgomery County Public Schools Facilities Guide will be provided. Exterior lighting will consider light pollution standards and utilize Dark Sky compliant fixtures. Industry improvements in sources and controls will be presented for consideration. Special systems will include fire alarm, IT, AV, paging, and security. The complete voice evacuation fire alarm system will be provided in the MEP design. A complete IT system will be provided and the current requirements, whether CAT5, CAT6, or wireless, incorporated into the MEP design. The paging/notification and AV components will be coordinated with the County and provided in the MEP design. The security will be installed under a separate contract, but the power requirements will be coordinated with the County and provided in the MEP design.


VI. DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS, Continued C. OPTION 1 – NARRATIVE

Option 1 proposes to demolish the existing Maryvale Elementary School building and construct a new building to accommodate the collocated Maryvale Elementary School / Carl Sandburg Learning Center programs. This “V” shaped option places the two schools side by side within the building with the core shared/collocated program areas adjacent to one another along the building’s diagonal central spine. The schools’ administrative areas are centrally collocated at the building corner providing very good oversight of the bus loops, parent drop-offs and parking areas. This design provides separate identities and separate front façades for each school. Specific features, graphic representations as well as advantages and disadvantages for this option are as follows: Site Considerations

Option 1 proposes a centrally located school building with Maryvale Elementary School on the north/east side and Carl Sandburg Learning Center on the south side. There would be one driveway for both Carl Sandburg Learning Center bus and car traffic along the southern border of the site. The Maryvale Elementary School bus loop and parking would be located in the middle of the front of the site. The Maryvale Elementary School student drop off and additional parking would be located on the northern, front portion of the site and would have a third entrance/exit only.

Building Option 1 proposes a new building to accommodate the collocated Maryvale Elementary School / Carl Sandburg Learning Center programs. This Option includes a “V” shaped layout with the schools placed side by side and the shared and collocated program areas being adjacent to one another along the building’s diagonal central spine. The Maryvale Elementary School portion of the collocated facility will be a two-story structure and the Carl Sandburg Learning Center portion will be a single-story as necessitated by student needs. The adjacent administration areas for each school are centrally located at the building corner providing very good oversight of the bus loops, parent drop-offs and parking areas. The “V” shaped design facilitates a separate identity and separate front façade for each school. The main corridor through each program’s classroom blocks provide a loop student circulation route to all parts of each school. The points at which each program’s primary corridors intersect with the other program’s provides the opportunity for well controlled circulation between the two schools. The gymnasiums for each program are conveniently located to the outdoor activity areas. The two multipurpose rooms flank the shared kitchen area.

VI. DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS, Continued

OPTION 1

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

BUILDING & SITE

Effectively provides separate identities for each

school. Most efficient use of site. Administration areas have better oversight of

parent drop-off, bus loading and parking areas than Option 2.

Additional courtyard adjacent to centrally located and collocated media center provides natural daylight.

Multipurpose rooms & gymnasiums for both programs conveniently located to outdoor play areas/ball fields.

Courtyards provide daylight to interior classrooms.

Natural daylight to both multipurpose rooms. Separate bus loop and parent drop-off for

Maryvale Elementary School. Extensive bus queuing for each program. Traffic patterns for each program are separate. Separate parent drop-off loops for each program.

Building area is larger than Option 2 due to more

linear layout. Courtyards do not provide daylight to interior

corridors like Option 2. Shared bus loop and parent drop-off loop for Carl

Sandburg Learning Center. Extensive use of retaining walls to level site.


VI. DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS, Continued D. OPTION 2 – NARRATIVE

Option 2 proposes to demolish the existing Maryvale Elementary School building and construct a new building to accommodate the collocated Maryvale Elementary School / Carl Sandburg Learning Center programs. This rectilinear option places the two schools side by side within the building with the core shared/collocated program areas adjacent to one another along the building’s central spine. The schools adjacent administrative areas are centrally collocated along the building’s shared front façade, facing 1st Street, providing good oversight of the parent drop-off and parking areas. The efficient rectangular design minimizes the building footprint. Specific features, graphic representations as well as advantages and disadvantages for this option are as follows: Site Considerations

Option 2 proposes a centrally located rectangular school building with Maryvale Elementary School on the south side and Carl Sandburg Learning Center on the north side. The bus loops for each school would be located on the respective sides and would have dedicated entrance/exit driveways that would be located closer to the property lines. A new, third entrance/exit would be constructed in the between the other two where student drop offs and parking for both schools would occur in the middle of the site.

Building Option 2 proposes a new building to accommodate the collocated Maryvale Elementary School / Carl Sandburg Learning Center programs. This option includes a rectilinear layout with the schools placed side by side and the shared and collocated program areas being adjacent to one another along the building’s central spine. The Maryvale Elementary School portion of the collocated facility will be a two-story structure and the Carl Sandburg Learning Center portion will be a single-story as necessitated by student needs. The adjacent administrative areas for each school are centrally located and face 1st Street along the building’s front facade. The main corridors through each school’s classroom blocks provide efficient student circulation to all parts of each school and also provide the opportunity for well controlled circulation between the two programs. The gymnasiums are located to the back corners of each school and are conveniently located to the outdoor activity areas. The two multipurpose rooms flank the shared kitchen area.






VI. DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS, Continued OPTION 2


BUILDING & SITE

Most efficient floor plan. Has smaller footprint

than Options 1 or 3. Main entrances for each school located at front of

1st Street. Efficient student circulation routes within each

program and between programs. Administration areas have good oversight of

parent drop-off areas and parking areas. Multipurpose rooms & gymnasiums for both

programs conveniently located to outdoor play areas/ball fields.

Numerous courtyards provide daylight to interior classrooms and corridors.

Daylight to multipurpose rooms across corridors. Separate bus loops for each program. Extensive bus queuing for each program.

Separate identities for each school not as well

defined as Option 1. Shared parent drop-off vehicle entrance for both

programs. Administration areas have limited oversight of bus

loading areas. 2-story Maryvale Elementary School and 1-story

Carl Sandburg Learning Center share the front façade so it may be more difficult to provide separate identities.

Extensive use of retaining walls to level site.


VI. DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS, Continued E. OPTION 3 – NARRATIVE

Option 3 is a revitalization and expansion of the existing Maryvale Elementary School facility which includes the construction of a new second floor above the existing first floor building areas. Portions of the existing facility will be demolished to facilitate construction of the additions to accommodate the collocated Maryvale Elementary School / Carl Sandburg Learning Center programs. The existing bus loop and parking areas are reused and expanded, and a new bus loop is created to serve the Carl Sandburg Learning Center. Specific features, graphic representations as well as advantages and disadvantages for this option are as follows: Site Considerations

Option 3 proposes a school building located more along the southern border of the site with Maryvale Elementary School on the east side and Carl Sandburg Learning Center on the west side. The bus loop for Maryvale Elementary School would be very similar to the one there currently where bus traffic enters in the middle of the site and exits at southern boundary. The bus loop for Carl Sandburg Learning Center would be along the northern boundary of the site and would have its own dedicated driveway. Parking and student drop offs would be in a shared lot, using the same entrance/exit that is currently there (and shared with Maryvale Elementary School busses entering the site).






VI. DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS, Continued OPTION 3


BUILDING & SITE

Majority of the existing structure is reused as part

of the new collocated building.

Requires extensive revitalization to salvage

existing building areas. Does not provide separate identity for each

school. Admin areas have poor visibility of bus loading

areas. Requires reinforcement of existing structure to

build new second floor above. Does not provide a distinct separation between

the two building programs. Vehicular circulation is less efficient than options

1 & 2. Building does not front to 1st Street. Provides less parking than Options 1 & 2. Limited bus queuing for Maryvale Elementary

School due to reuse of existing bus loop. Shared bus and car entrance for Maryvale

Elementary School. Shared parent drop-off area for both Schools. Least efficient, least effective and most expensive

option.


VII. PROPOSED PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE Evaluating the time required to fully execute the design and construction of the new collocated Maryvale Elementary School / Carl Sandburg Learning Center, the evaluation team has developed the following schedule of activities and time durations:
