Potomac Elementary School was built in 1949 and renovated in 1976. Scheduling of this modernization is consistent with the MCPS
long-range plans to renew aging facilities on a rational and periodic basis. Due to fiscal constraints, the Board of Education’s Requested
FY 2015-2020 CIP includes a one-year delay for elementary school revitalizations/expansions. Planning funds for the project will be
requested FY2016. While planning funds remain on schedule, due to fiscal constraints construction funds for this project were delayed
one year in the approved FY 2015-2020 CIP. The Board of Education’s requested FY2015-2020 Amended CIP reinstated the
construction schedule previously requested by the Board. Due to fiscal constraints, the County Council did not approve the Board’s
request. An FY 2016 appropriation was approved for planning funds. An FY 2018 appropriation will be requested for construction
funds. This revitalization/expansion project is scheduled to be completed by January 2020.

Project Design Objectives
The purpose of this project is to replace the existing Potomac Elementary School and provide program spaces for grades pre-
Kindergarten through fifth grade that meet the requirements of the educational specifications. The new building will be built where the
existing building is currently located.
The new facility will be in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and will provide the required teaching spaces
and support spaces for the school programs.
The following are some of the key elements of the project design:
• The design of the new building creates a loop circulation on the first floor while creating a “U” circulation on the second floor
with stairs at each end. This layout allows for ease of travel throughout the building.
• The layout further increases passive security by allowing ease of monitoring of all corridors.
• The building is designed in a compact layout due to site limitations.

Site Design Site Features:
Potomac Elementary School currently is located on a 9.6-acre property on the North side of River Road in Potomac, Maryland. The
site is bound on the North and West by single-family homes and on the East by the Potomac Presbyterian Church and single family
homes. The site slopes down from the West to the East with an approximate eight-foot difference in elevation. The site is bound on the
South side by River Road with a stream buffer to the North-West and a large existing tree stand to the North-East.
The proposed site plan situates the new building on the South-West portion of the site. The main parking lot is located on the Southern
edge of the property adjacent to River Road. The student drop-off loop and additional parking are located on the Eastern portion of the
site. The bus loop is located on the Western edge of the site, separate from the student drop-off. The ball fields and play areas are located
to the Northern half of the site.
All vehicular entry and exit will be accessed from River Road. On-site vehicular traffic circulation is designed to provide safe access
to the school for pedestrians while providing approximately 113 parking spaces. The student drop-off and bus loop are designed to
provide maximum queuing spaces on site to minimize the traffic backup onto River Road. Other site infrastructure includes providing
a storm-water management system in compliance with the requirements of state and local regulations, necessary utilities to support the
needs of the new facility, and exterior lighting for safety and security purposes.

Building Design
General Description:
The proposed project replaces the existing aging facility with a modernized state of the art facility. The proposed building is a two-
story, steel-framed structure with a combination of brick veneer and architectural metal panels over masonry block exterior
walls. Interior walls are primarily masonry block. All aspects of the plan are designed to meet the most current educational
specifications, life-safety, health, and fire code requirements as well as compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The
building materials are in accordance with the Montgomery County Public Schools facility design guidelines and designed with a focus
on the sustainability and maintainability of the school.
The building is oriented on the southwest side of the site with the identifiable main entrance of the building facing River Road. The
administrative suite is located at the front of the building to allow supervision of the main entrance, lobby, and student drop-off loop.
Secondary entrances are located by the bus loop and student drop-off. The academic areas are organized around a large courtyard
space to maximize the natural daylighting into the classrooms and promote an efficient interior circulation system. The kindergarten,
and first grade classrooms are located on the ground floor level for security and safety reasons. The remainder of the classrooms for
grades two through five are located on the second-floor level. Stairways are located at each end of the building and a centrally-located
stair in the lobby, along with an elevator provide vertical circulation within the building. The core support spaces of the building,
consisting of the multi-purpose room, gymnasium, and media center, meet the standards of the elementary school program and are
designed to support community use by grouping the spaces together on the main floor of the building with controlled access.
Secondary entrances with a canopy provide a sheltered entry from the bus loop, and student drop-off.
Classroom Technology:
The classrooms will be designed to support interactive educational technology that includes controlled, wireless computer access and
interactive whiteboard systems. The wireless technology throughout the building allows mobility of computer system and increased
flexibility in classroom utilizations. Individual classrooms are designed to provide a student seating arrangement that can be organized
into small groups for project-oriented teaching, or students can face the teacher in a traditional method.

Sustainability
The proposed project will be designed and constructed with an emphasis on the environmental sustainability. The architecture and
engineering systems will align with Montgomery County Public Schools facility management sustainability principles to ensure long
term operational effectiveness. The project will be in compliance with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
standards. The new facility will also meet the 2012 International Green Construction Code (IgCC).
Key features related to the sustainability include the following:
• Encouraging alternative transportation to the new facility by providing bike racks.
• Managing storm-water to both reduce runoff quantity and improve quality.
• Using highly-reflective roof surfaces to reduce heat gain.
• Installing water-conserving, low flow plumbing fixtures, in the new facility.
• Optimizing the energy performance of the facility by providing a highly energy-efficient building envelope, lighting system,
heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems.
• Optimizing equipment selection, installation, and operation of new HVAC equipment through commissioning of the facility’s
energy systems.
• Adhering to construction indoor air quality management plans and using low emitting building materials to safeguard occupant
health.
• Providing a high level of occupant control over individual lighting and thermal comfort to promote an enhanced indoor
environment in the new facility.
• Using construction materials that are recycled and regionally manufactured.
• Maximizing daylight in classrooms.
• Minimizing background noise level from heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in classrooms and control
reverberation time with sufficient sound absorptive materials.

Potomac Elementary School Revitalization/Expansion Page 3L
Sustainability (continued)
One of the primary design factors required to achieve a sustainable facility is the conservation of energy. The importance and
consideration placed on energy conservation will be reflected in the configuration and orientation of the building the selection of
materials, and the mechanical/electrical systems utilized. In addition, a direct digital automatic temperature control system will be
provided to monitor and control all new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment from a central building management system.
The new facility will be designed to meet or exceed 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), as well as Montgomery
County energy conservation codes. The design will incorporate the ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2016, Energy Efficiency
Standard for New Buildings.
