ADDENDUM TO CMSD DISTRICT-WIDE ELEMENTARY ED SPECS

Developing educational specifications is an essential part of the total planning process. It is necessary for this document to stay up-to-date with the programs and values held by the school district. For this reason, Carlsbad Municipal School District made the decision to revise its District-Wide Elementary Educational Specifications that were originally created in 2014, specifically to accommodate the unique educational program requirements for the Elementary #3 Replacement School.

This Addendum to the CMSD Elementary School Education Specifications was created to support the District’s mission to inspire and equip all students to pursue futures beyond what they can imagine. As future construction projects are planned, Carlsbad Municipal School District must create environments that truly inspire learning. The Design Professional shall use this document in conjunction with the 2014 CMSD Elementary School Educational Specification, however the identified revised sections in this document supersede the 2014 content.

Executive Summary

History of CMSD 2014/2017 Elementary Education Specification Revisions

The NM Public School Facility Authority requires all school districts to create and review a written educational program that guides the design process of new proposed facilities or major renovations. These education specifications should include a description of the proposed project, and a range of issues and alternatives to be considered. During this process, the district shall allow for input from teachers, other school campus staff, and District program staff in developing the educational specifications.

As Carlsbad Municipal Schools reviewed and revised its Elementary School Education Specifications in the Spring of 2017, Visions In Planning collaborated in various meetings with CMSD administrators and curriculum, technology and operations and maintenance departments to note future areas of improvement and also held two community meetings for input. The educational specification revision process also included meetings with the Principals from both Joe Stanley Smith and Craft Elementary Schools which will be combined into the new Elementary School #3. CMSD technology staff members were also asked to provide input and direction to the revisions as they relate to updated technology needs.

Information from all stakeholders was collected by Visions In Planning, and the revisions incorporated into the revised Elementary Educational Specifications Sections which are detailed in this document; all other information contained in the original 2014 document is still applicable and needs to be referred to during the design process.

Future CMSD Elementary Education Specifications

It is the Board of Education’s intent that the District-Wide Elementary School Educational Specifications will be reviewed before starting each new construction or major renovation project, and then shared with architects to guide the design process. These specifications will also be utilized for the basis of budgeting new schools and bond programs, and for the purchase and/ or acquisition of new school sites.

Updated Background Information

School CapacityCarlsbad Municipal School District has recently completed construction on two new elementary schools (Desert Willow and Ocotillo Elementary) that have a capacity of 658 students. These two new schools were constructed to combine enrollments from four older schools, which were then closed. The new Elementary #3 will be constructed to combine the enrollments of both Joe Stanley Smith and Craft Elementary Schools into one location. The combined enrollment of both schools as of the 2016/17 school year 552 and is projected to be 582 in 2019/20 per the 2014-2019 CMSD Facility Master Plan. The functional capacity of the new Elementary #3 will be 627 to be able to accommodate future growth in the Carlsbad area.

The district desires to keep the footprint of the new school very similar in size (78,694 SF*) to the other two schools that were recently constructed (78,353 SF), however the new combined school does have some different programmatic needs that have a direct impact on the schools functional capacity. The student population from Joe Stanley Smith and Craft Elementary Schools, is somewhat different in nature than that of the other schools that were combined, in that the Exceptional Educational programs need to accommodate more students, particularly in the “D” level area. There is a need for three full size “D” level classrooms and four 1/2 size Resource classrooms to meet the new schools needs. Other changes from the other two recently constructed schools include the elimination of the full stage in the gym, two computer labs, reduction in TARE space to 25%, and minor reductions in other areas with the exception of the classrooms.

21st Century Learning Environments (Updated)A growing body of research has linked environmental influences in the classroom to educational achievement. Studies have found that non-traditional design concepts, specific environmental considerations and the use of advanced technologies have increased a student’s ability to learn and perform at a higher level than ever before. These non-traditional concepts and environmental influences are valuable as a means to a broader goal to help children grow not only academically, but emotionally, socially, and physically. The learning tools and ideas as defined within the recent body of research and the results of that research have formulated what is known as the principles of “21st Century Learning Environments.” Some of these concepts are outlined below, and have been incorporated into CMSD’s Elementary School Education Specifications Update for Elementary #3.

• Inspiration, Play and Discovery: Elements of an elementary school building should promote curiosity and exploration and discovery, creating an environment which enables children to be free, playful and creative, and motives them to ask “What’s Next?”

To incorporate this 21st Century Learning concept, the media center in the new CMSD Elementary #3 will be designed as a school hub and a place to create content, rather than only a place to consume content. The library shall continue to accommodate story time, classroom instruction, and storage of books; however, it will also be positioned as a hub for emergent technologies to support student learning.

• Collaboration: To support effective learning environments, educational facilities should possess spaces that encourage collaboration and interaction not only inside the classroom, but more importantly outside the classroom. Designs using “neighborhood pods or learning clusters” within and even outside the building

* Max NMPSFA Recommended SF for 627 students is 76,260 SF

represent one approach that encourages collaboration among students. This learning environment must create opportunities for collaboration and interaction not only student to students, but also staff to student and staff to staff.

To incorporate this 21st Century Learning concept, CMSD will incorporate multi-use break out areas that can be used by all grade levels. Spaces where collaborative, creative activities can be accommodated will be located within each grade level cluster including, but not limited to, the Multi-Use Areas, Instructional Pull-Out (Resource) classrooms, as well as within the Media Center, Art, Music, Computer Labs, and Gym.

• Student Centered Learning: 21st Century students learn best by doing. Spaces should provide environments that accommodate different learning styles and teaching delivery methods.

To incorporate this 21st Century Learning concept, CMSD will disperse and reallocate Exceptional Education classrooms throughout the facility. The Speech, PT/OT, Reading and Math resource classrooms all meet or exceed NM Adequacy Standards for 1/2 size classrooms. All “D” Level program classrooms will be increased to a standard full sized classroom configuration with accessible restroom facilities.

All Exceptional Education resource classrooms shall be located near and/or within neighborhood clusters, and shall be used for individual or small group instruction. The spaces can also serve as an additional flex space within the neighborhood clusters for student and teacher collaboration. All “D” level classrooms are to be integrated near and/or within neighborhood clusters, as well as also near the administrative office.

• Engagement and Interactive: Teaching methodologies should include interactive learning environments where students are part of the teaching/learning experience. 21st Century students are technologically advanced and are connected to the global community. They are able and willing to participate in the teaching/learning process.

To incorporate this 21st Century Learning concept, Ideally, the digital learning (computer) labs will be located adjacent to the media center and WiFi access will be provided in all multi-use break out areas.

• Safety and Security: Learning environments must be safe and secure, with design elements incorporating safety systems so that students and staff are protected.

To incorporate this 21st Century Learning concept, all schools will include security vestibules at the main entrance and controlled access at all exterior entrance doors.

• Connection to Community: Schools should not only be recognized as learning environments for students, but should also function as potential learning centers for the entire community. All educational facilities should have the ability to increase their usefulness and be seen as a place of learning for all age groups.

To incorporate this 21st Century Learning concept, CMSD will continue to use the standardized the configuration of the cafeteria and physical education area that was designed into the previous two schools. However there will be a platform stage open in the cafeteria instead of the gym. The cafeteria and gym will be connected through a foldable partition, giving the new school a large space to accommodate various school and community events.

Increased Use of Technology for Instructional DeliveryLearning to use technology, and using technology to learn, will become integrated into all aspects of the curriculum. This will change the way students learn and the way faculty teach, requiring spaces that are flexible and systems that can be adapted over time.

• Revolutionized methods of acquiring and producing information• Use of technology as a tool to control education costs through distance education, on-line curriculum

and virtual learning and for educational delivery within the school (teacher/ computer combinations)• Use of technology to accommodate teacher/skill shortages• Increasing dependence on technology, including more technology use within the classroom • Increasing parent-student access to assignments, grades, attendance, records• In the future students will be assigned their own netbook with on-line access or wireless tablet• Increased access to curriculum and supporting tutorials through digital media, real-time, at home and

in school.

Increased Community Use of School FacilitiesThere is increasing interest in bringing the community into schools to utilize equipment and facilities and in extending learning activities for students into the community. This has resulted in increased movement of students between the school and the community and the need for buildings that can be independently secured.

• School as a community hub (new version of the ‘town square’) and as a community center for lifelong learning

• Increased use of school facilities during non-school hours for after school programs• Greater usage will increase the emphasis on durable materials and equipment, easily maintainable

and replaceable building systems and energy efficiency and life-cycle costing

Emphasis on Sustainable, High Performance FacilitiesSustainable building includes design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and occupants.

• Environmental site planning• Safeguarding water and water efficiency• Energy efficiency and renewable energy• Conservation of materials and resources• Indoor environmental quality• Benefits of sustainable, high-performance buildings

- Environmental: reduce impacts of natural resource consumption

SECTION 2 -Project Design Factors: Overall Considerations (Revised Section -Partial)

Site ConsiderationsNew LocationThe new site for Elementary # 3 will be located just east of the district’s Early Childhood Center on W Lea St and consists of approximately 9.55 acres. The new site is undeveloped and has been primarily used as farm land. Due to the proximity of the Early Childhood Center and the nearby Carlsbad 6th Grade Academy, Traffic Impact Study is recommended to determine the best solutions for site access.

Entry PointsPedestrian and vehicular points of entry to the campus provide visitors the first look at the campus. These spaces are the face of the campus to the community where the campus resides. These spaces provide the initial opportunity in presenting the overall campus character. Sufficient parking is needed to accommodate the combined staff as well as parents.

Entry points create a sense of arrival through open views to the campus at key locations. The vehicular arrival should be from a main roadway connecting the campus to the immediate community. The entry shall include clear signage that leads students, staff and visitors to the appropriate parking or drop-off areas.

Pedestrian arrival shall be enhanced at key locations entering the site. These include student drop-off locations, entry to playground areas where students will gather prior to entering their classes, Gym and Cafeteria facilities, and shared field space. Community use of these facilities after-hours will require specific way-finding signage.

In particular, visitors and new students will require clear way-finding to the Administration area of the building. Signage is a critical component of these spaces. Consider also using key landscape and/or building features to aide in way-finding and orientation of visitors as well as staff and students.

Building Orientation: Place buildings to optimize natural daylighting and reduce solar heat gain on the buildings mechanical heating and cooling systems. The design of the buildings should consider the impact of prevailing wind and solar patterns relative to the overall building energy performance.

Drop-Off/ Pick-upThe site should have on-site drop off, to accommodate parent drop-off with a pass lane, a minimum of 250 feet drop-off length. Lanes and drop-off should be clearly labeled with appropriate pavement markings and/ or signage to avoid confusion. In addition, to help alleviate off-site congestion, the site should be designed to provide safe drop-off areas or zones. The drop-off areas will tend to have high traffic during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up times and therefore circulation and safety is of utmost importance. Limit pedestrian and vehicular crossing points, utilizing appropriate barriers and make sure pedestrian walk areas are identified with unobstructed visibility.

The bus unloading area should be separate from the passenger unloading area to reduce congestion with the parent drop-off. The bus drop-off/pick-up should be able to accommodate at least 7 standard (72-passenger)buses, 3 small buses, and a small City Transit Bus that is used by the City of Carlsbad to transport students to an after-school program. Coordinate with CMSD Transportation Department during the design process as the number of buses may vary according to final student assignment policies.

Special Considerations:• Provide clear area around bus for maneuvering.• Concrete walk wide enough to accommodate loading and unloading of all buses at one time (+/- 10’

wide).• End-to-end queuing for loading and unloading (confirm preference with Transportation).• Provide “Buses Only” signage to direct traffic or “Buses Only during the following times – “ .

Parking LotsParking lots hold a support function to the campus. Parking lot locations provide staff and visitors a final destination for vehicles, before the users enter the campus on-foot. Visitor parking lots should be directly connected to buildings or areas that have short-term visitors, such as Administration and Student drop-off areas.

Signage at appropriate locations will be necessary for simple way-finding. Adequate shade for cooling of autos and pavement can be achieved by providing approximately one tree for every 4-10 stalls. Limit pedestrian and vehicular crossing points.

Parking lot design should follow local requirements for stall width, drive aisle width and shade. Provide a wheel stop for each parking stall where stalls are head-on to pedestrian areas, fencing, wall, building and planting area or other obstructions. Consider speed bumps in parking areas where driveways exist to protect pedestrians crossing aisles. A secured bicycle, scooter, and skateboard storage area should be accommodated. This area should be located near highly visible areas, to deter vandalism. Racks should be provided to allow locking of these transportation devices. Provide lockable racks for 5% of the student population.

Outdoor Learning AreasOutdoor spaces adjacent to classrooms can function for small group sessions. They can be utilized by teachers and students as a break-out space directly related to the indoor classroom activities. It is an area that could be used for ‘hands-on’ Art and Science activities, reading, discussion, and other small group activities.

Page 15: W ea St Early Childhood Educational Specification Center

Carlsbad Municipal School DistrictEducational Specifications Update for Elementary #3

These areas are typically low-tech spaces with limited seating, enhanced with shade trees or shade structures, buffered by plantings and green space. The outdoor teaching areas can be themed to relate to areas of study. For example, a space with sundials and angular, concrete seat walls could be used by a Math geometry lesson; an instructional, student maintained garden could be used for Science; a sculpture garden could be utilized for Art studies, and so forth.

Service AreasService areas hold a support function to the campus. Service areas include:

• Storage spaces • Parking for District vehicles • Parking for maintenance equipment • Food service delivery • Supply delivery • Waste and recycling enclosures

Service areas are high-traffic areas for heavy machinery and equipment. These areas include areas for storage and removal of trash and recycling. Service areas may be spread throughout the campus, as they are to be adjacent to the buildings they service. Adequate lighting is required for early morning and evening deliveries.

The design shall anticipate maintenance service points, limiting the spread of access, focusing on providing service locations accessible to staff at the front of the school and centralized to promote student safety and limiting circulation interruptions. Recycling collection stations should be put in at the ends of Classroom wings to facilitate student recycling efforts and allow for easy pick up by maintenance staff at the end of the day. Bins should be well placed and have covers so that odors will not permeate into other areas. These areas require covered spaces that can accommodate storage of maintenance equipment.

These areas are to be sheltered and screened from the campus core. Often the areas require large vehicle circulation for waste pick-up and delivery of food and supplies. Waste and recycling enclosures shall be covered and contain a can wash area. This can wash shall be covered and have a curb enclosed drain, complete with a hose bib. Drainage shall be provided for the enclosure. Sturdy vehicular concrete pavement and /or asphaltic concrete pavement shall be included for entire length of access way, to allow for stability. Wide access ramps shall lead from the parking area to the delivery door of the Food Service area.

Playfields and HardcourtsPlayfields shall include space to support the physical education (PE) program. Provide direct access to hardcourts and playfields from the Gym and Cafeteria areas. The grass area shall be able to support multiple activities such as softball and soccer. Utilize existing trees on site to provide areas of shade.

Paved hardcourt areas shall include striping for a variety of games including circles, four-square, basketball, track lanes, handball, hopscotch, tether ball, etc. Exterior drinking fountains shall be located throughout.

Age appropriate play structures, adequate in size to accommodate its use shall allow for climbing, sliding, walking, and hanging activities. Safe, recycled rubberized surface shall be underneath this play area. Shade should be provided either by landscaping or shade structure.

Site Safety & SecurityCMSD’s goal is to design and build safe school campuses while maintaining an inviting environment. Students and teachers should feel safe anywhere in the school building and on the campus grounds. A secure environment is one that creates opportunities for natural surveillance and provides clearly defined and controlled access. Security technology can be used to enhance passive security strategies. An intrusion alarm system shall be provided.

The organization of a building should always take into consideration supervision and circulation. Evaluate and design areas in which students can line-up and/or congregate before they go into their classrooms; make supervision easy by limiting visual obstacles. Provide easy entry and access to classrooms.

Adequate lighting at parking and exterior circulation areas allow for safe, after hours staff and District maintenance access. The following are additional safety considerations for the new elementary school and site:

• Lighting: exterior lighting for nighttime activities needs to be considered, exterior lighting in parking areas should be solar-powered Light Emitting Diode (LED) lights and be similar in appearance to the rest of the campus– budget permitting.

• Security Cameras: CMSD requests exterior cameras at the following locations: all building entry areas, parking lot, and outdoor playground areas. Interior cameras shall monitor administrative office entry, and corridors. The principal or assistant principal is to be the designated monitor. Classrooms should be equipped with push-button public address to the administration.

• Local Fire Department Approval: All designs should comply with local fire department regulations, storage of materials regulations, and evacuation plans.

• Provision for Safety Equipment: Local codes and regulations should govern the location of all speed bumps, fire hydrants, contrast paving and any other safety equipment required.

• Ease of Supervision: The campus should be designed such that the administrative office has clear sight lines in and around the campus. The administrative office should be prominent and easily located by visitors.

• The dumpster area must be fully enclosed and lockable, and should be sloped for good drainage – preventing spoilage and smell build-up. Coordinate with the City of Carlsbad for exact requirements.

• Street access: Access to the site should be safe and visible. The current turn in and out condition should be safe to drivers and pedestrians as they enter/ exit the school campus. Clear lines of site onto the roadways are imperative. Ensure that proper turn lanes, queuing, stop signs, yield signs, and other traffic control devices are installed so as to insure the safety of students and community. A thorough study of the issue shall be conducted in the design phase.

• Traffic Volume: As most students will arrive at the school by some type of vehicle, plans should be made to mitigate potential congestion that happens in early morning and afternoon. The Design Professional will need to coordinate with both CMSD and the City of Carlsbad to identify any potential issues.

• Access to rooftops, mechanical: Should be from within the building via a secure access ladder.• Window Projections and Door swings: Should not project into the path of travel.

Building Considerations

Building SystemsAcoustics: Students (especially non-native English speakers) must be able to hear the teacher and be heard by others. The California Department of Education School Site Selection and Approval Guide states, “The normal range of conversation is between 34 and 66 decibels. Between 70 and 90 decibels, sound is distracting and presents an obstacle to conversation, thinking, or learning. Above 90 decibels, sound can cause permanent hearing loss.

Page 17: W ea St Early Childhood Educational Specification Center

Carlsbad Municipal School DistrictEducational Specifications Update for Elementary #3

11

Classroom areas must be designed to allow normal speaking levels with comfort, the State of NM Adequacy Guidelines call for a maximum decibel level of 45 dB measured at a workspace in the center of the classroom.

Building Support Spaces: Custodial, storage, and loading areas should be located in the service areas of the school, near the student commons and mechanical service areas. Driveways for support areas should be separately accessed and should not cross student walkways, parent drives, or student access to outside areas.

Finishes: CMSD maintains all campuses with pride. Finishes are to be durable and of high quality, so that they may be maintained over a period of 50+ years. Exterior walls should be brushed or split faced block for longevity other building system materials may be considered by the district through the value engineering process.

Interior corridor wall finishes will consist of a painted high impact gypsum board or CMU; a rubber cove base detail is also preferred for ease of cleaning and flooring in the classrooms and corridors shall be polished concrete and all administrative offices shall have carpet tile to allow for easy replacement by maintenance. Windows shall consist of Low-E insulated glazing with at least one operable window per classroom or work space (budget permitting). Clerestory windows if incorporated into the design should utilize “Kalwall” or other District approved insulated transparent wall systems. Exterior windows that are operable should have security screens.

The Kitchen should be of durable materials that are easily cleaned: stainless counters, backing and equipment; fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) panels on the walls, and flooring that is seamless and non-slip. Restrooms should be of highly durable materials: hard surface floors (ceramic tile or polished concrete), ceramic tile on the walls, polished stainless steel mirrors, and high density polymer plastic partitions with full hinges. The flooring in the cafeteria should be should be polished concrete flooring.

Furnishings should be adjustable, varied, foldable and highly cleanable. Walk-off mats should be provided for each exterior entry; CMSD prefers modular matting systems (recessed) extending six feet into each entry.

Roofs should be designed to allow for proper drainage without ponding, and single-ply TPO roofing shall be used. Any other roofing materials must be approved by the District during the schematic design process. If skylights are incorporated into the design shall not be flat, pyramid shape is preferred and should utilize “Kalwall” or other District approved insulated transparent skylight systems. Rainwater collection with the ability to slow release into the school landscape is suggested (budget permitting). Roof drains should not be interior and scuppers and downspouts should not drain onto or across sidewalks to prevent ice or slipping hazards.

Climate Control: Buildings should utilize high quality insulation with a high R factor that meets current building and energy code requirements. The facility is to be conditioned with an energy efficient Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system that are consistent with district HVAC (Trane or Carrier) systems already in use and have district maintenance personnel that are already trained to maintain them. Classrooms and offices should have the ability to be individually controlled, however, alternate approaches may be considered during the schematic design process. CO2 sensors should be incorporated into each unit to maintain proper indoor air quality and need to meet current NMIBC. Additionally, a web-enabled Energy Management System (EMS) that is consistent with existing systems already in use by the district are required to assist in the energy management of the facility. If mechanical systems are to be located on roofs, the design must include an secure access ladder. For safety and climate control, vestibules should be utilized at exterior entries to the school.

Electrical: Learning areas should be pre-wired with electrical service to the walls (each classroom will utilizer smart boards). In cases of block walls, the conduit should be located in furred-out walls, not within the block wall

Page 18: W ea St Early Childhood Educational Specification Center

Carlsbad Municipal School District Educational Specifications Update for Elementary #3

12

or on the interior wall. Care should be taken to provide extra conduit for ease of future wiring. Electrical panels must be sized to have 10% additional capacity to allow for future modifications to the facility without requiring an electrical upgrade. Ample power and outlets cannot be overemphasized especially in the multi-use breakout areas, gym and cafeteria. Maximum flexibility and safety requires outlets to be plentiful and evenly dispersed around each classroom and offices.

Lighting: Natural daylighting in all occupied areas of the building is required. Care should be taken to provide lighting that can automatically shut off when daylighting is present or when rooms area not occupied, and must be controlled by motion sensors. It is preferred that “Kalwall” or similar be utilized in clerestory windows (not glass block), other solutions may be discussed with the District during design. LED fixtures shall be utilized throughout the building to improve energy efficiency; areas of indirect LED lighting is also preferable – budget permitting.

Plumbing and Fixtures: Student toilets should be in close proximity to the learning “pods or neighborhood clusters” and should be grouped for efficient space utilization. Restrooms should be located near program components likely to be used by the community: gymnasium, playing fields, media center, and cafeteria.

The student Health Office, located in the Administrative area, will be equipped with a handicapped accessible toilet room. The “D” level Exceptional Education classrooms will be equipped with a large toilet room containing a single toilet partition to allow for student privacy and enough room for a care giver to change a student’s clothing if needed. It will serve students who need care from an adult, or assistance with toileting.

Adult restrooms should have e handicapped accessible toilets. Staff restrooms will be located near the faculty/staff room. A single unisex toilet will be provided in the kitchen area for use by food service staff and custodian. Another will be provided for administrative staff use in the reception and administrative office area. Additional restrooms may be needed, depending on the layout of the school and code requirements.

Low flow toilets with dual flush and ultra low flow urinals, flush toilets that are hard-wired with motion sensors, and automatic sinks are recommended. High speed surface mounted automatic hand dryers with HEPA filters are to utilized in all restrooms. Urinals should be wall-hung and automatic flush. Drinking fountains shall be provided with water bottle fillers as required by current building code.

Other Building Systems: Uniform locks for interior and exterior doors that are consistent with the keying system (BEST) already in place by the district shall be installed, full height rotary hinges shall be used on all exterior doors. All interior door locks for occupied spaces should be have two ways to be locked in case of an active shooter situation. Provide the infrastructure and hardware for electronic (card key, fob, fingerprint reader, etc.) locking system to exterior doors.

Custodial closets should include floor sinks, should utilized fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) board on the walls and be water proofed. Plugs and area for recharging floor equipment is required. Area to hang mops and other equipment will also be required.

Public Access: Generally, the school will operate from early morning hours (7-8 am) into the late afternoon (4-5 pm) and on evenings/weekends when special events are scheduled. Areas utilized by students for before and after school activities should be zoned into an area that is:

• Well Lit,• Easily observable from the administrative office areas

Page 19: W ea St Early Childhood Educational Specification Center

Carlsbad Municipal School DistrictEducational Specifications Update for Elementary #3

13

• Able to be individually climate controlled,• Near parking areas and parent/bus drop off,• Provide a gathering or waiting area that is safe and well lit for students waiting for transportation.

Building Security: Planning for this facility is based on the premise that new school will be a closed campus, keeping in mind that the school is an environment for education and not a ‘prison” there must be a balance in the degree that a campus is made secure and by what means it is considered secure. “Bullet proof glass” is an example of overdoing it. Security cameras as well as security personnel should be incorporated into the school environment in ways that are not threatening or offensive, but leave the school environment with a sense of freedom and relaxed openness.

The facility shall have an intrusion alarm system for security access in corridors, entries, and academic zones of the facility. This way the police can follow the alarm sequence on a computer floor plan from the administrative office.

The facility should be designed to keep in mind current and acceptable methods of providing security to students and staff from within the school as well as from the outside by taking into consideration any security issues CMSD maybe facing at this point in time. The new elementary school should be designed to follow Crime Prevention through Environmental Design principles. These include:

• Natural Surveillance. The design concept is directed primarily at keeping intruders easily observable. This concept is promoted by features that maximize visibility of people, parking areas and building entrances: doors and windows overlooking streets and parking areas; pedestrian-friendly walkways; front porches; and adequate nighttime lighting.

• Territorial Reinforcement. Physical design can create or extend a sphere of influence. Users then develop a sense of territorial control while potential offenders, perceiving this control, are discouraged. Territorial reinforcement is promoted by features that define property lines and distinguish private spaces from public spaces using landscape plantings, pavement designs, gateway treatments, and “CPTED” fences.

• Natural Access Control. This design concept is directed primarily at decreasing crime opportunity by denying access to crime targets and creating a perception of risk to offenders. Control gained by designing streets, sidewalks, building entrances and walks to divert traffic to supervised areas.

• Targeting Hardening. This concept is accomplished by features that prohibit entry or access: window locks, dead bolts for doors, solid core wood doors, and interior hinges.

Signage: “Way-finding” is a top priority issue for the facility. Poor configuration, location of elements, and lack of signage can be a problem for visitors and new students. Recommend creating a clear and easily decipherable set of visual cues including clustering similar functions, clear and easy to find pathways, and visible signage from the street and on campus.

Sustainability:Efficient and mindful use of energy resources is important to the culture of social awareness in Carlsbad. The following are measures that should be taken to consideration as part of the design of the new facility to maintain and improve the energy efficiency:

• Installation of lighting occupancy sensors in classrooms and offices• Installation of controls to allow multiple lighting levels in some classrooms

SECTION 5 - Space Program (Complete Revision)

Introduction:Every school goes through changes in the course of its life which can span up to 50+years. At some point a school will need to address academic, spatial and technological changes when they occur. The manner in which an educational facility is designed must take into consideration how these changes will be addressed. This section includes detailed information about each major space, functional areas, and adjacencies within a new elementary school. This program will also be the standard that existing elementary schools will use when updating and remodeling.

Educational Space Program: The Educational Space Program for the new Elementary #3 outlines the spaces that need to be incorporated in order to meet the functional capacity of 627 students for the Carlsbad Municipal School District. The recommendations for the spatial requirements and student loading component are derived from meetings with district staff and administrators and meet or exceed the minimums established by the New Mexico Adequacy Standard, however the school as programmed is slightly larger than parameters established by PSFA which identifies 121.6 SF per student for 627 students, the new school as programmed is 125.5 SF per student or 3.1% larger.

The Educational Space Program contains recommendations for the net square feet per space and total net square feet per component, number of teaching spaces where applicable, number of spaces, and enrollment capacity based on the projected enrollment contained in the district’s Facility Master Plan. The requirements assume 95% utilization of every space since for each teaching station. The enrollment capacity is calculated by the number of students accommodated by a teaching station(s) at any time during the school day by multiplying the number of occupants by the number of spaces.

This space program has been structured to create academic grade-level teams or clusters with area-type clusters to be collocated on campus. The clusters include:

• Administrative Functions, containing space for collocation of administrative functions including counseling, attendance and records, and technology.

• Food Service and Dining Areas, for including a dining room which is located adjoining the gym, drinking fountains, restrooms and exterior play areas and courts.

• Core Academic Areas, for 1st – 5th grades.• Physical Education, containing areas for a PE room, exterior play areas and courts.• Performing Arts Areas, including music and art rooms and STEM classroom.• Media Center and computer labs• Building Support Areas

Room Finish Criteria Sheets:The Room Criteria Sheets have been completely revamped. It then breaks down the facilities for each component and its corresponding spaces including: (Component adjacency diagram that illustrates the relationship of spaces within the building - Refer to Section 4 of the original 2014 CMSD District-wide Elementary Ed Specs.)

• Summary of the component function/purpose and spatial relationships requirements.• The total net recommended area of the space which corresponds to the educational program. The total

number of occupants that will typically use the space.• A brief description of the activities and uses of the space.• The identification of support spaces needed to support the activity or use of the space, including any

exterior areas.

• A description of the building system requirements needed for the space including mechanical, plumbing, electrical/ lighting, and technology/low voltage.

• Door and window recommendations for the space including glazing.• A description of the amount of day lighting, window coverings, transparency and security of the doors

and windows.• A description of built-in equipment, casework, and millwork needed for the space described with

approximate quantities of the type and number of furnishings that will be used in the space.• A description of any miscellaneous considerations of the space including ceiling height, acoustics, built-in

instructional aides, materials and finishes, aesthetics and flexibility of the space.

The Room Design Criteria Worksheets identify the general and specific functional, spatial and environmental characteristics, as well as furnishings and built-in equipment requirements for each category of space. These criteria are organized in the following areas: technology and communications, power, lighting and day-lighting, environmental conditioning, classroom acoustics, furnishing/fixtures/equipment, room finish, and tare.

The following are standard finishes for the areas listed. The specific criteria sheets will identify any variations to the criteria below:
