School Facilities – SLU (June 2014)
Planning, Programming, And Design of educational Learning Environments
Planning and Programming Lead the school system to make an agreement
with an architectural firm to complete design and construction.
Involve many stakeholders through communication.
Are interchangeable yet separate as planning integrates community needs & programming to influence design.
Programming A verbal and symbolic description and explanation
of all activities the learning environment is expected to facilitate.
Dependent on planning
To avoid the reality check (demanded resources# available ones planning and programming for a capital project is needed.
Cookie Cutter Schools Contribution from students, the community,
educational professionals, planning and design professionals (active consumers) Sanoff (2000).
Awareness, perception, decision making are included while learning from each other.
School is a community owned& concern.
Ongoing or periodic process
Approach to the Investigation The Guide for School Facility Appraisal & Assessment scales
provide approximate measures of the school environment which:
a. Enhances learning and teachingb. Serves the communityc. Involves all stakeholdersd. Pertains safety, health, and securitye. Uses all resources effectivelyf. Allows for flexibility and adaptability to changing needs
Phases in Planning
Five Participatory Design Principles: No best solution Expert decisions are not always better than lay
ones Milestones should be discussed Open forum Continuous and ever-changing process
I. Determine the Principles and Values of the Community
a. What is to be learned?b. How does learning occur?( Behaviorist, Constructivist theories)
Flexible block learning to meet curriculum, students needs, and overcome discipline problems.
II. Develop a Purpose
Perceptions= reality so the learning environment should serve as a center of the community
Partnership between all stakeholders= civic & learning activities
School = hub = an inviting place= user friendly Fosters a relationship between school and
community
III. Examine the context
Internal scan of the political, economic, social, demographical, multicultural influence
Population forecast, demographic analysis, financial information leads to shaping the context, specification of space needs and capacity
This reveals the possibility of new types of sts., demands on programs and facilities.
IV. Specify what is realistic
Planner Interprets the information in light of political and economic possibilities
Has excellent leadership skills, special characteristics to overcome roadblocks and avoid surprise
V. Envision Alternative School Environment
• Future schoola. preparing sts. To be productive, ethical,
and effective members b. Curriculum through block schedulingc. Partners will have more voiced. Space for lifee. Teaching valuesf. Tech based activities
VI. Select the best alternative
Cost benefit analyses Implementation of feasible solutions Looking for benefits over a specific period of time Choosing the best alternative Going from words to spaces to places
VII: Program the best alternative
Specify the physical environment (bubble diagrams, scaled drawings, computer aides design programs)
Include indoor and outdoor space, equipment, furniture, storage, technology, other considerations
Considered a pre design phase
VIII. Complete final Design and Preconstruction Activities
Translation of planning programming, and sketching into design.
Form should follow function
IX & X: Construct &Occupy the facility
No straightforward milestones Guidelines depending on the context, legal and
environmental issues
Link with previous material
Recap.: two underlying principles1- Establish principles and values surrounding the learning environment2- Know the educational purposes for the physical environmentsNB: If decision has been made to construct a new school, the model described here can serve as a facilitator for the planning process
Milestones: “Not written in stone”TWO important notes: A- Milestones not necessarily implemented in a linear fashion presented thereafterB- There is no precise set of milestones that fit all planning problems; still, the following “provide a sound direction for realistic involvement in developing educational learning environments” (Tanner & Lackney, 2006)
Basic Milestones in Planning Capital Projects: Estimated time/responsibility
1- begin the planning process (1m./ superintendent)
2- forecast student enrolment (2m./research unit)
3- determine educational feasibility (2m./facilities director)
4- establish architectural feasibility (2m./facilities director)
5- prioritize needs (1m./school board & superintendent)
Basic milestones (continued)
6- adopt findings of the needs assessment (1m./school board)7- choose to build a new school or renovate existing ones (1m./school board)8- develop capital budget estimates (2m./director of finance)9-acquire financing for the project (4m./school board and superintendent)10- appoint the school’s principal (1m./school board)11- select an architectural firm (2m./school board upon recommendation by superintendent)
Basic milestones: Needs and Estimates12- design the school (6m./school principal, educators, community, and architect)13- stipulate the needed school furniture (2m./school principal, educators, community, and architect)14- select the construction manager (1m./superintendent, facilities director)15- schedule the project (1m./ school officials and architect)16- obtain 35% cost estimates (2m./ architect and facilities director)17- prepare final construction documents (2m./architect and facilities director)18- secure financial cost estimates (3m./architect)
Basic premises: advertising and receiving bids19- advertise bids for construction (3m./school board and superintendent)20- receive bids for construction (1m./school board and superintendent)21- award construction contract (1m./school board and superintendent)22- obtain permits to begin construction (1m./superintendent and facilities director)23- advertise bids for school furniture (1m./ school board and superintendent)24-receive bids for furniture (1m./school board and superintendent)
Basic milestones: Construction25- construct the school (18 m./ general contractor)26- monitor construction program (18m./ construction manager, school principal, an facilities director)
Basic premises: following construction27- install school furniture (1m./ vendors, school principal and facilities director)28- complete punch list (a detailed checklist regarding mechanical devices) / verify performance (1m./principal, construction manager and general contractor)29- accept the school (1m./school board)30- orient staff and community to building (1m./school principal)31- evaluate the school planning, design and construction process (1m./ school principal, community, facilities director and superintendent)32- complete warranty inspection (1m./construction manager)
Architectural design: The basic premiseMeeting the community’s needs and expectations for a school facility “for many years to come” can occur when school designs are based on the outcomes of an effective, multi-stakeholder planning process
Architectural design: Common Steps Although these might differ depending on
the district, there are several steps that commonly occur during the architectural design phase:
• An architectural firm is chosen to prepare drawings – this firm is also involved in the planning stage and programming activities
• A set of guidelines has been developed by the AIA for choosing an architect based on the firm’s qualifications
QBS – Qualification Based SelectionRecognizes the architect as playing a critical role in the design and construction of public school facilities; includes the following steps:1- developing a preliminary scope of work statement2- determining a schedule of activities3- compiling a list of architectural firms4- receiving statements of qualifications5- determining short list of 3-5 architects6- informing all architectural firms7- arranging a tour for the short-listed ones8- conducted interviews with the short-listed9- informing the short-listed of the interviews results10- negotiating contract with the selected architect
Basic Design ServicesBasic design services provided by the architectural firm include:A- schematic designB- design developmentC- construction document and specificationsD- bidding and negotiationsE- construction administration
Involving the Outside CommunityThe use of a variety of highly skilled professionals is of great importance in the design processHOWEVERInvolving the outside community in the early stages of the design process is of importance too; this will reap several benefits:1- positive community spirit2- better overall school buildingNote: such process may be time-consuming; care needs to be taken while developing methods of involving them
