Overview of Long Range Facilities Plan Renovation • 20-year cycle for updating each school • Every building will be renovated, beginning with the following: • High School, 2009 • Center Grove Elementary, 2010 • Pleasant Grove Elementary, 2012 Proposed Construction • Build a new elementary school in 2010 • Sixth elementary school in 2014 (or later, as determined by enrollment growth) • Seventh elementary school in 2007 (or later, as determined by enrollment growth) 10/11/2014 Page 41
Overview of Long Range Facilities Plan(cont’d) Removal • Raze the old maintenance and transportation buildings • Raze two residential houses on Morgantown Road • Raze the old Maple Grove Building • Sell West Grove and North Grove properties 10/11/2014 Page 42
North Grove and West Grove Restrictions • Load-bearing concrete block construction restricts changes in floor plan configuration such as widening corridors and changing classroom layout, and prevents substantial modifications to existing building structure (i.e. adding 2nd Floor). • Lot sizes are the smallest in District restricting the size of any addition without substantially reducing green space and impacting playground areas. • Restrooms are not fully ADA compliant. 10/11/2014 Page 43
North Grove and West GroveRestrictions (cont) • Poor traffic flow for buses and parent drop-off. • Area traffic conditions limit access in and out of sites. • Aging infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, technology) restricts building modifications and additions. • Limited cafeteria and gymnasium space. • Classroom unit ventilators provide less control and more noise than newer HVAC systems.
North Grove and West Grove Restrictions (cont.) West Grove Elementary North Grove Elementary No building-wide fire suppression system. Smallest site at ll.26 acres. Poorest traffic flow and most limited site access. • Current Septic System undersized requiring costly tie-in to Greenwood sewers. • No building-wide fire suppression system. • I-69 Expansion and future interchange will impact site. • Lays fully in floodplain. 10/11/2014 Page 45
Renovate or Build?Cost Comparison Renovate North Grove and West Grove Build New Elementary School Estimated Cost $18-24 Million Annual Savings to the General Fund: $500,000 This solution allows us to operate more efficiently and expand academic programs. • Estimated Cost: $16-17 Million • Annual Savings to the General Fund: $0 • This approach does not allow expanded programs in the classroom. 10/11/2014 Page 46
