Agenda• Why a facility

assessment?• Observations• Next steps

Raymond School Campus – June 2013

Why a Facility Assessment?• Objective analysis of present condition

and capabilities of Raymond School• Comprehensive report detailing needs:

• Building envelope (roof, walls, windows, doors, exterior)

• Infrastructure systems (mechanical, electrical, plumbing)

• American Disabilities Act (ADA)• Site• Building Utilization• Space Analysis• Educational Adequacy

Raymond School Key Observations• Site Size

• Existing size: 14 acres• Recommended size: 22

acres • Building Capacity

• Current enrollment: 442 students

• Max enrollment based on total building square footage: 387 students

• Max enrollment based on classroom square footage only: 486 students

• Lack of middle school appropriate learning spaces such as Family and Consumer Education (FACE) and Technical Education

• Two Portable Classroom Units in use

Raymond School Historical Plan

Portable classroom units

Raymond School ObservationsArchitectural

• Site• Portable classroom units were

installed as a temporary solution in 2003.

• Building Exterior• Windows are single pane, with

deteriorating caulk.• Large number of front

windows were boarded up around 1986.

• Small areas of brick deterioration.

• Exterior wall construction from the 1960’s lacks insulation

• Portions of roof “ponding” creating potential for water damage

• Hollow metal doors are rusted and not weather-tight.

Raymond School ObservationsArchitectural

• Building Interiors• Lack of daylight in core learning

spaces• Inadequate Band and Library

classroom spaces (located in portable classrooms)

• Lack of “life skills” space for Special Education students

• Lack of age-appropriate science labs for middle school students

• Lack of middle school spaces such as FACE or Tech Ed

Library in dark, narrow portable classroom

Inadequate science classroom/lab

Small guidance conference room

Raymond School ObservationsArchitectural

• Building Interior• Lack of appropriate safety

clearances in gymnasium for competition play

• Inflexible furniture and equipment throughout building

• Damaged roof panels in gymnasium

• Non-secured entrance• Lack building security during

evening and community events

Undersized gym

Inflexible computer labMain entrance

Representative Secure Entry – with highly visible sight lines and controlled access

Representative Secure Entry – Floor Plan

Mechanical (heating, ventilation, air conditioning)

• Mechanical system upgrades in 2004• Original hot water piping – 1961, 1963,

1966

Electrical• Original electrical service - 1961• Upgraded classroom receptacles, circuits

and data wiring – late 1990’s via TEACH wiring project

• Fire alarm upgraded in 2011• Security cameras were installed in 2013• Interior lighting was recently replaced• Emergency generator was recently

added

Raymond School Observations

Original hot water heater

Original electrical panel

Plumbing• Sanitary waste piping below the

floors and connections to plumbing fixtures require replacement. This will require the replacement of the existing floor wherever underground piping is present.

• Inefficient hot water heater

• Fire sprinkler system required by code if future renovation work conducted
