• Window perimeter sealant currently being replaced

• Original single-pane windows create drafts, condensation + leak

• No evidence of waterproofing in wall construction

• Exposed structural steel– radiates cold into building spaces


EXTERIOR ITEMS – ROOF

• Roof and flashings have been well maintained – issues typically corrected quickly

• Insulation values below current standards

• Evidence of ponding water

• Roof nearing end of useful life


CODES + ACCESSIBILITY

• Building is fully sprinklered (1989)

• Stair issues

• Structural movement / settlement

• Door clearances + hardware

• Toilet Room issues

Stakeholder Engagement

What one thing would make the modernized BHS project a success for you?

• A welcoming, modern learning environment that is open, inviting, bright; with flexible learning spaces filled with natural daylight.

• Updated and expanded athletic and performing arts facilities – open for community use.

• Updated available technology and improved building systems to create a more healthy leaning environment.

• Facilities on par with other county high schools.• Continued emphasis on safe school environment.

2


What is unique and important about the legacy + spirit of BHS that should be considered?

• History of the railroad and canal – “Save the caboose”.

• Hard working, tight community – “small town feel with big school technology & opportunities”.

• Memorial trees• Baseball traditions and community’s

support of sports programs in general.

What are your hopes + aspirations for this feasibility process?

How does the existing BHS serve the broader community?

• Terrific Arts, and Theatre programs• Sports and “Friday Night Lights”• July 4th celebrations & Community Show• Tradition of student volunteerism with

local youth groups and activities

3


How could this improve?

• More community use of improved athletic facilities and theatre

• More on-site parking for community attended events

• Increased opportunities for adult education

• Increased local business / school collaboration – work study

4


What are your hopes + aspirations for this feasibility process?

• Continue to have an open and transparent process which includes community input

• Ensure parity of facilities with other county high schools

• Plan for a project that instills student and community pride

• That the report be acted upon without delay.

Control Rm. + Mech


Scenario 1

Complete Modernization

• Updated and completely new layouts for classrooms, labs, etc. –appropriately sized with latest tech

• Integration of collaboration and support spaces - Next Gen education

• Completely re-imagined performing arts venue and dining hall

• All building systems modernized and code issues addressed

• Area constraints result in some education specification items not accounted for.

Scenario 1

Community Feedback


“I think I’m making an obvious point

that this is not a viable option. It

won’t result in all the ed specs we

should have.”

Scenario 1


+ ADVANTAGES

• Lowest cost option?

• Does not impact site circulation or

athletic fields

- DISADVANTAGES

• Does not meet student capacity

• Does not meet all Ed Spec

requirements

• Does not improve program adjacencies

and building inefficiencies

• Requires complex phasing and

construction logistics with relocation

via portables

Scenario 2

New Construction

Site Plan

Scenario 2

Community Feedback


• Too much compromise. Don’t be “penny-wise

and pound foolish.”

• With Regional Field Park don’t need to add

fields at high school. Like the separate bus

loops.

• Working at school that has experienced

construction. It is extremely noisy and

disruptive to the learning environment.

Scenario 2

Community Feedback


• “Too “siloed”, too much disconnect between

classroom pods, CTE, & arts are still isolated,

which fosters separation. Narrow connectors.

• Option 2 seems as though it may be a perfect

balance of preserving these recently completed

improvements, providing the additional

improvements needed while preserving existing

structure and adding on additional space

needed to accommodate growth of student

population.

Scenario 2


+ ADVANTAGES

• Provides target student capacity

• Meets space requirements of

Educational Specifications

• Separation of bus and car entrances

• Maximizes use of existing building

elements

• Minimizes earthwork required

• Existing fields remain in current

location

- DISADVANTAGES

• Results in largest total building area

• Circulation patterns are still not ideal

• More difficult to supervise students

• Teaching spaces are widely

distributed, limiting adjacencies

between departments

• Requires new bus entrance from

Point of Rocks Road

• Multi-year construction

disruption to students

Site Plan

Scenario 3

Community Feedback


• Option 3 seems to be the best option if a rebuild

isn’t feasible. I like the idea of 3 story building

as well.

• Option 3 seems to leave good additional space

in old classroom area if future space is needed if

school needs to accommodate 1000+.

• Scenario 3 seems the best

Scenario 3

Community Feedback


• Love scenario 3. Three story classrooms, not

moving all the way back. More parking. Entrance

from 464.

• Less “silos”, keeping all academic classrooms

together, including arts & CTE. More cohesive

student body

• I like orientation of bus drop off and

“connection” at entry to stadium and western

view. Separation of bus drop-off and regular

parking. Classrooms consolidated in one area

• This option looks great!

Scenario 3


+ ADVANTAGES




• Clear circulation patterns and

sightlines

• Utilizes major public spaces (PE, Aud,

Dining) while rebuilding all

instructional spaces


• Minimizes earthwork required

• Existing fields remain in current

location

- DISADVANTAGES

• Results in total building area over

target

• Requires new bus entrance from Point

of Rocks Road

• Multi-year construction phasing and

logistics, disruption to students +staff

• All new construction, on-site• Lower impact to delivery of

curriculum during construction

• Loss of athletic fields during construction

• Existing school demo and sitework completion after new school occupied

Scenario 4

Community Feedback


• Centralized parking between fields and building.

Building access to outdoor learning at woods

• Pathway connecting high school to middle

school.

• Move bus lane to between pool and football field

• Lack of building presence. Too low of building

profile. Too far back on site.

Scenario 4

Community Feedback


• Consider 3-story. Gives us more options for

expansion later

• I’m not sure I like how far back on the site the

building needs to be

• This is a good option too.

Scenario 4


+ ADVANTAGES




• Idealized program relationships,

• Improved circulation patterns and

sightlines

• Hits target total building area

• Minimizes school disruption during

construction


• Utilizes existing entrances from

Cummings Road

- DISADVANTAGES

• School is located at back of site, further

from Cummings Road

• Significant earthwork and retaining

walls required at new building site

• Requires relocation of athletic fields
