DECATUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS High School Task Force 02/03/2009
The Need Physical Needs Summary • Many building systems are at the end of their useful lives (piping, windows, doors, heating/cooling equipment). • Many components of the building envelope are beyond their useful life, particularly at EHS. • Many interior finishes are worn and should be replaced (there are some hazardous materials consequences). • There are opportunities for increased energy savings. • Most spaces lack air conditioning. • In addition to addressing these physical needs is the need to alter spaces to accommodate changing educational programs.
