Delwood Elementary School

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In April 2000, Alberta Infrastructure engaged R.L.Wilkin Architects Ltd. to evaluate the condition of a number of schools within Edmonton School District No. 7. The evaluation process and the forms provided were developed by Alberta Infrastructure and reviewed with the consultant prior to visiting this facility on 10 April 2000.

Little information was available from Edmonton Public Schools in terms of recent studies, roof inspections, etc., thus evaluations have been based primarily on the site visit and discussions with staff.

Delwood Elementary School was originally constructed in 1966 with additions built in 1969. This facility is well maintained with most interior finishes requiring only regular maintenance over the next 3 to 5 years. The school exterior is also in good condition with the exception of the roof system which will need replacing.

Construction of the school is non-combustible masonry and conrete construction. All sections have built-up membrane roofing on primarily precast concrete structure. Exterior cladding is mainly brick and exposed aggregate concrete, with small amounts of painted wood components and accent features.

Overall this facility is in good condition and requires only specific improvements as outlined within, of which roofing and electrical systems appear to be the most deficient.





EXECUTIVE SUMMARY cont'dSummary of Observations and RecommendationsSpecific problems exist with this facility. Major areas of concern requiring attention include: asphalt surface of west parking area, membrane roofing system, washroom fixtures and numerous lighting and wiring upgrades.

Evaluation Ratings 3 or Less

The following estimates apply to items that were rated 1, 2, or 3 as described in the evaluation guidelines:

1. Site related work $ 35 550.2. Building Exterior 265 000.3. Building Interior 1 200. *costs may increase depending on outcome of items noted for further investigation4. Mechanical items 9 150.5. Electrical items 190 500. Total Estimated Costs $ 501 400.*

7. Space Adequacy AssessmentBased upon equivalent areas for a non-core school with a capacity of 675 elementary students (using guidelines provided by Alberta Infrastructure) this school is in excess in overall area by 210.6 m2.

Further Investigation

It is recommended that further investigation be done in the following areas:1. A thorough energy efficiency study should be completed prior to the necessary electrical upgrading.2. A roof investigation to determine actual condition, extent of repairs/replacement required.

School Data/Plan Information

It is recommended that this information be revised to reflect added wall partitions, current alterations, etc.
