SECTION I – PROJECT INFO


INTRODUCTION

The need to renovate and add program space to the Carroll County Career & Technology Center was

identified by the Board of Education over 15 years ago. Originally constructed in 1969 as the Carroll

County Vocational-Technical Center, the building was constructed to house sixteen different vocational

programs and to accommodate 320 students at a time. An addition was added in 1986 to provide space

for three additional programs. After the addition was completed, the center was able to accommodate

380 students at a time. In 1995, the name of the building was changed to the Carroll County Career &

Technology Center. Since that time, the demand for career and technology programs has continued to

increase. The Center currently offers 24 different programs, some of which offer multiple sections, to

approximately 790 students at a time. In addition to the students the CCCTC is able to serve, there are

also approximately 200 students on program waiting lists. Due to the fact that the building is almost

fifty years old and is currently housing twice as many students as it was constructed to accommodate, it

was clear that something needed to be done with the facility.

As a result of this need, the Board of County Commissioners included a project in their adopted FY16-

21 Capital Improvement Plan. The plan included a $60,000,000 budget (half county funds, and half

state funds) in fiscal years 2019 and 2020. Based on this plan, the Board of Education hired Hord,

Coplan, & Macht Architects in 2016 to perform a Feasibility Study for the CCCTC. The study

evaluated the building, site and program accommodation in order to determine what options were

available to meet the current and future CCCTC needs. The options studied included renovations,

additions, and replacement of the facility. The options also looked into providing additional space to

serve the students on waiting lists. Options B, C, and D all addressed the aging building systems, and

the need for additional space because the building is serving double the students it was designed for.

However, all of these options were estimated to cost over $80,000,000. Option A was the only one that

was estimated to be under the existing project budget. The reason for this is that it did not address the

current programs space needs. It only included a small addition for programs to handle additional

waiting list students. After the study was presented to the Board of Education, the Board of County

Commissioners made it clear that the level of funding that they planned to provide was unlikely to

change.

This Educational Specifications outlines the programmatic need for the CCCTC. It was developed as a

result of the work of the Planning Committee and all of the teachers at the CCCTC. The Committee

understands that the budget may limit the ability of the building to meet all of the programmatic needs

outlined. However, the Committee felt it was important to identify the programmatic needs.

The variety of course options found in the CCPS program of studies empowers students to

meet the educational prerequisites to enter an institution of higher learning, the military, or

the work force. Targeted interventions, alternative placements, career connections

internships, dual enrollment options, online courses, special education services, gifted and

talented services, and differentiated course levels are provided to meet the individual learning

needs of students.

2. STRENGTHEN PRODUCTION FAMILY AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

Carroll County Public Schools’ personnel will communicate openly and honestly to foster a

trusting and supportive relationship with parents, community members, business partners,

and public officials. CCPS strives to create an atmosphere of mutual appreciation and respect

for diversity and encourage unity among all students, staff, and community. CCPS welcomes

parent and community volunteers to help with the total school program.

3. DEVLOP AND SUPPORT A SUCCESSFUL WORKFORCE

Carroll County Public Schools will hire and retain highly qualified and skilled employees

who are dedicated to the success of our school system and students. Employees can expect to

be supervised by experts in their field who provide timely and relevant professional

development opportunities and feedback designed to promote their effectiveness and success.

CCPS values a high performing and diverse workforce who contribute to a positive

educational experience for all students.

4. ESTABLISH SAFE, SECURE, HEALTHY, ANDMODERN LEARNING

ENVIRONMENTS

Carroll County Public Schools recognizes that the safety and well-being of our students and

staff is our highest priority. Students, parents, and CCPS employees can expect policies,

procedures, and programs to be implemented that promote a safe and orderly environment in

school, on school grounds, and on school buses, as well as programs that promote healthy life

style choices and social and emotional well-being. CCPS strives to provide up-to-date

facilities, technologies, equipment, and instructional materials appropriate for a modern

learning environment.


PROJECT SCOPE, COST, SCHEDULE

SCOPE OF WORK

This project involves a phased approach to the partial modernization of the Career & Technology

Center. Phase One would include the planning and construction of a 21,000 square foot addition to the

existing Carroll County Career & Technology Center. Phase Two would renovate the existing building

to bring the entire building into conformance with current building and life safety codes. Enlargement

of program space within the existing building is a goal, but it is understood that it may not be possible

for all programs. Maintaining building occupancy and operation during construction will require a

multi-phase construction process.

BUILDING SIZE

Total Gross Square Footage (based on Option A of 2017 Feasibility Study) = 137,775 gsf

Total Gross Square Footage (based on programmatic need) = 203,140 gsf

Facility Size per State formula (eligible for State funding):

750 students* x 240 square feet per student = 180,000 gsf

*Based on the assumption that all CTE programs will be approved by MSDE

BUDGET

The following budgets are based on the Board of County Commissioners decision to include

$60,000,000 as a placeholder for the project during the adoption of the FY16 – 21 CIP:

Total Project

Building Construction $53,467,000

Site Work $1,241,000

Design $4,100,000

Furniture/Equipment $653,000

Contingency $539,000

TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET $60,000,000


Phase One (21,000 sf Addition)


Site Work $1,241,000

Design $700,000

Furniture/Equipment $653,000

Contingency $539,000


Phase Two (Renovation of 116,775 sf)


Site Work -

Design $3,300,000

Furniture/Equipment -

Contingency -


This budget was based the State and County each providing $30,000,000 for the project. However, the

State funding was originally based on the project including more square feet. If the total square footage

for the project is 137,775, then the State’s share is anticipated to be less than $30,000,000.

SECTION II – PHILOSOPHY &

ORGANIZATION


VISION STATEMENT

The Carroll County Career and Technology Center will be a transformational force in the academic and

professional aspirations of our students with the support of all stakeholders.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Carroll County Career and Technology Center is a first class educational institution dedicated to the

application of knowledge, use of technology, and preparation of students for the future in a variety of

academic and professional fields.

PHILOSOPHY & ORGANIZATION

The role of Career Technology Education is changing as quickly as the careers and industries they

prepare students for. The current center has

(Flexibility and Technology)

The new Carroll County Career & Technology Center must support the mission and goals the CTE

program. It must address current needs and also be flexible and adaptable to be able to respond to future

needs. The natural evaluation of careers and trades, along with the need to adapt to new programs and

increased enrollment requires that the modernized center be planned for flexibility and possible

expansion. Many programs have a waiting list of students, and the facility should be able to

accommodate future expansion of these programs. Also, the possibility of offering new programs at the

center should be considered during the design. Additional programs that have been discussed are:

Plumbing, Software Applications, Geographic Information Systems, and Early Childhood Development

The facility should reinforce the clustering of the disciplines to promote the sense of collaboration

within areas of study. Each cluster should be configured and designed to celebrate its own unique focus.

Additions and renovations should support functional adjacencies whenever possible. Exterior access

and proximity to site features should also be addressed when appropriate.

Ample display areas, both static and active, for student work should be incorporated throughout the

facility. Space within the facility should be set aside for large displays to be viewed from multiple

sides. The use of windows and other display components along the corridors should be used to facilitate

the ability to open up instructional areas for viewing. Display provisions, along with the ability to

provide views into the instructional spaces, will serve to highlight both the process and products of the

CCCTC program.

The introduction of natural light in a controlled manner is critical to provide a modern learning

environment. Every effort should be made to provide natural light into every instructional space.


SECTION III – PROJECT DESIGN

County Public Schools Construction Department. Specific communication guidelines are

contained in the Carroll County Public Schools Construction Design Specification Manual.

Audio induction Loop systems for the hearing impaired shall be installed in the gymnasium,

cafeteria, and auditorium.

7. Code requirements for electrical outlets are considered the minimum. The use of movable

walls in instructional areas also limits their availability. The architect is encouraged to resolve

the need for additional outlets through innovative design. Particular attention should be paid to

power provisions for voice, video, and data outlets in each space.

8. Fenestration shall be limited to improve energy conservation, however, at least two operable

windows shall be provided in each classroom. Natural light should be introduced to occupied

space and teaching stations through the use of windows or clerestories. The use of skylights is

strongly discouraged.

9. Limited carpeting shall be installed in instructional areas, planning rooms, offices, and

conference areas. All other flooring shall be as noted.

10. Colors and textures of interior and exterior finishes, furniture and equipment shall be

coordinated with the Department of School Facilities. Consideration should be given to

lighting and tones as they affect students. Areas for two and three-dimensional display of

awards, trophies, artwork and student projects should be distributed throughout the school.

11. The architect is to provide layouts and elevations for built-in furnishings.


12. Finishes, components, furnishings and all other items throughout the facility shall be flexible,

durable, easily maintained, and of the appropriate height to serve the users.

13. Future expansion must be considered in the design. A location, or locations, as well as general

layout of the expansion should be included in the design process. The building’s systems shall

be sized accordingly.

14. The energy goal for this project is 45,00 BTU/GSF/year.

15. Multiple HVAC systems shall be explored during the design phases, including geothermal.

16. The engineer shall determine which spaces require extra-ordinary HVAC systems. Special

attention should be paid to those spaces with a large amount of technology usage, as the

equipment generates substantial heat.

17. Provide emergency and/or back-up power as required by Code. A generator shall be used to

power kitchen and maintain critical building systems. Auxiliary power should be sufficiently

size to permit the building to serve as a shelter if needed.

18. Provide building security as appropriate, including door locks, security systems, motion

detectors, and hallway cameras.

19. Exterior lighting shall be provided on the building to illuminate exterior walkways and exits.

Pole-mounted fixtures shall be located to promote a sense of safety and security for after-dark

users.

20. The building shall be designed to be environmentally friendly and meet recommended “green

school” guidelines to the extent possible.

21. Particular attention should be paid to acoustics and sound attenuation. The location of

mechanical equipment should be examined to prevent distraction in instructional areas.

22. All exit doors shall be equipped with panic hardware for easy egress in emergency situations.

Door widths shall be a minimum of 36" to facilitate accessibility.


GENERAL SITE CONSIDERATIONS

The school site and its development should be viewed in the same context as the development of the

school building. Instructional areas, service areas, building orientation, maintenance, and community

relationships shall be carefully considered. The following points are to be considered related to the site

development:

1. Parking areas, driveways, etc. shall be designed and constructed for efficient and safe routing

of buses, vehicles and pedestrians.

2. A flagpole area shall be developed to identify the main entrance.

3. All sidewalks and entrance ways shall meet disability access code requirements for grade and

building access.

4. An exterior service area for facility maintenance and delivery of supplies, fuel and foodstuffs

shall be provided adjacent to the loading dock. Two dumpsters will be houses here, and this

area must be screened from view.

5. Building orientation and placement shall attempt to take advantage of existing features (such as

woodlands) and topography. Efforts should be made to maintain, or limit the impact on,

wetlands, streams, forests, and meadows, minimizing the need for reforestation. Afforestation

will be addressed both on and off site. Balanced grading is an important consideration.

6. Due to the fact that the center is on a shared campus, any impacts to Westminster High

operations must be considered as part of this project.

7. The Construction and Transportation exterior courtyards must be screened and have some type

of locking gate for security purposes.


IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Flexibility

Due to the changing nature of the programmatic needs of the center, all spaces should be designed with

flexibility in mind. Flexibility may mean that spaces can function in multiple ways, or it may mean that

spaces can be converted to alternate uses quickly and cost effectively.

Future Expansion

Many programs have a waiting list of students, and the facility should be able to accommodate future

expansion of these programs. Also, the possibility of offering new programs at the center should be

considered during the design. Additional programs that have been discussed are: Plumbing, Software

Applications, Geographic Information Systems, and Early Childhood Development. Particular attention

will be given to electrical, heating/air conditioning and plumbing systems so that they can be readily

extended to accommodate future building expansion.

Technology

The school design should facilitate the integration of technology into every aspect of education just as

technology has become integrated into the world students live in.

All programs offered at the school incorporate technologies that replicate the real world work

environment that students will enter after they graduate.

The design of the school should provide wireless connectivity throughout the building to facilitate the

use of the various technologies required for each program. The design should also provide the necessary

technology infrastructure to support students working between schools and within schools, including the

possibility of districtwide delivery of live or recorded instruction.

Interactive projectors and smart cart technology will be the primary instructional technology provided in

classrooms.

Communications

Communication within the school is important to its smooth, efficient and safe operation. The design of

the school shall provide a two-way communication system between the main office and all teaching

stations and service areas within the school.

Speakers for school announcements shall also be provided in the hallways, kitchen, boiler room,

custodial office, restrooms, general office area, bus loading area and large group activity areas.


Security

Areas of the school that will be used after school hours shall be zoned and secured for use independent

from other parts of the building.

The design of the facility is to accommodate locking all but the main entrance during the school day.

The main entrance should have a secure vestibule that forces visitors to enter the school through the

main office

Adequate outside security lights with timing controls and parking area/driveway lights with appropriate

zoned switch controls shall be installed.

Security alarms for detection of intruders shall be incorporated in the basic design. Location of security

control panels shall be designated by Owner.

CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles are to be used wherever feasible.

Joint Use of Facilities

The school should be designed to support after-hours use of the building. Various organizations utilize

the school to provide programs to the community in familiar and comfortable surroundings. This project

should strive to enhance the programs offered when school programs are not in session.

Facilities to be used by community groups shall be capable of being security zoned for use independent

from other parts of the building. These areas include (1) lobby - an entrance area to the administrative

section; (2) general office; (3) activity centers - student dining, and kitchen; and (4) lavatories - adult

and student with disabled accessibility.

In addition to areas utilized for community meetings, the Carroll County Community College also

utilizes several lab areas to offer ongoing adult education classes. Although this is a great benefit to the

community, there are times when this impacts the students ability to work on projects. The design of

these spaces should take into account the multiple users that may be utilizing the same spaces.

TRANSPORTATION CLUSTER


Cluster Description:

Transportation: The transportation department teaches students to troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair

vehicles from body and fender repair to painting, changing fluids and maintenance, to repairing and

changing tires. The heavy equipment program includes rebuilding of engines as well as vehicle

inspection, maintenance, steering and suspension, and troubleshooting electronics and electrical systems.

There is a high demand for technicians in all of the transportation fields. The instructors of these

programs are using facilities that were set up for programs designed for 12 to 14 students. There is little

room for storage and NATEF compliance is jeopardized from having a facility that is substandard. It

would be a bonus to have the cluster with access to the other shops as some of the criteria for each

program use the same tooling and equipment and could be easily shared. If the outside storage area is

large enough we could all use the same area to store vehicles in.

List of Programs in Cluster:

Automotive Service Technology

Collision Repair Technology

Heavy Equipment, and Truck Technology

Design Considerations for entire cluster:

Shared outside storage areas

Shared Exterior Hazmat Area (oil, antifreeze, etc.)
