Administration and Student Support Services

• Administration is positioned at the front of the campus to serve as the primary point of contact

• Administration has an easily identifiable front entrance

• For efficiency, Student Support Services could connect in same building but consider a separate entry to ease congestion

• Student Support Services oriented toward the Learning Neighborhoods to focus on student wellness

Special Education

• Classrooms are integrated within the Learning Neighborhoods and positioned near the campus center to minimize travel distances

Core Classrooms

• Core Team clusters create grade level Learning Neighborhoods, or an opportunity to loop as multi-grade Learning Neighborhoods

• Opportunity to multi-floor stack for efficiency

Beyond The Core Classrooms

• Embed with Learning Neighborhoods or in proximity

• In proximity to Cafetorium and/or Outdoor Program Spaces when appropriate to curriculum

Library Multipurpose Learning Center

• Library Multipurpose Learning Center is centrally located for convenient access.

• Opportunity to stack above Administration and Student Support Services

Cafetorium

• Large assembly area building with access to campus buildings as well as exterior service access

• Convenient to parking for events and when used as a shelter

• Outdoor dining area(s) adjacent to the cafetorium

Piko

• Main outdoor gathering area and symbolic center of the campus

Parking

• Quantity to cover all staff and minimum of 15 visitor stalls

• Include parking area near service unloading zone for kitchen staff and custodians

• Visitor stalls located near Administration

• ADA stalls and EV charging stalls quantities and locations as required by code

• Parking lots require lighting for safety, night events.

Bus Queuing

• Shade and weather protection for students at bus waiting, or locate near Cafetorium or Shaded Playcourt

• Design bus circulation to exclude the necessity for backing up any buses 

• Consider separating bus entry/exit drive from parent drop off / pick up traffic; okay for buses to share driveway with cafeteria delivery vehicles

• Bus drop-off area can be less convenient than parent drop off / pick up (bus traffic is controlled by contract); parent drop off / pick up needs to be simpler and more convenient 

• Provide for curb-to-curb bus transportation located near Specialized Support Classrooms

Parent Drop Off / Pick Up

• Provide ample on-site queuing for drop off /pick up lane

• Locate near Administration or Cafetorium and configure so that logical drop off point for students is at the end of the lane

• Students shall not cross traffic when entering or leaving vehicles.  Students unload from right hand side of car

• Avoid double and triple stacking car lanes

Vehicle Circulation 

• Good internal circulation is important. Prefer not to have to send vehicles off site

• Traffic controls are to be used such as: stop signs, yield signs, speed bumps, raised pedestrian crossing tables, stop wording and stop bars on the ground, yellow zone curbs (for loading and unloading) and red zone curbs (no stopping), etc…

• When site configuration allows, entrance and exit driveways should be right turns only (left turns tend to be slow and traffic backs up) 

• Design should support safety of pedestrians and easy visual supervision

Pedestrian Circulation

• Provide walkway connections to all adjacent public walkways in street rights-of-way

• Maintain and identify fire lanes and emergency access to school facility entries as required by code

Universal Design

• Accessibility throughout the entire campus for all students to travel throughout all spaces

• Ramps and elevators - consider connectivity between buildings to promote redundancy of elevator access

• Yellow curbing strips for low visibility students/staff

Service / Unloading Area

• Delivery truck routes do not cross student paths to playfield

• Flat delivery area (no loading dock, but delineate area with striping)

• Smooth surface with curb cuts as required, for carts, dollies or pallets to wheel materials into Kitchen or Custodial Center

• Nearby area for golf cart charging and secure storage (confirm number of carts during design)

• Consider access and functionality when locating grease trap outside of cafeteria

Garbage Collection

• Secure enclosure for 3 large trash bins with easy access on one long side

• Verify size of trash bins with Facilities Maintenance Branch during design

• Locate a minimum 50 ft. from kitchen door and other occupied areas to reduce impact of odors on nearby activities

• Consider prevailing winds when locating

Can Wash

• Hose bib with sanitizing spray system

• Proximity to kitchen delivery door as well as garbage collection

• Provide visual / spray screen on three sides, with ample room for usage and storage of cans

• Provide adequate drainage

Bicycle / Skateboard / Scooter parking

• Provide anchored fixtures for bike and scooter parking, as well as skateboards

• Locate in supervised area, at periphery of main pedestrian areas

• Consider walkability to school site when determining quantities

• Provide areas for future expansion
