DSP No. 681-4093 1 <br /> Gentlemen: • <br /> School Planning last saw this plan as a proposed elementary school location on the <br /> middle school site. Since the design h progressed to the design development stage <br /> without a schematic submittal, a det ed review of the concept will probably not be <br /> as productive. There are some conc rns that should be on the record. <br /> 1. Having all of the regular classrooms on single loaded corridors results <br /> in more corridors and longer travel distance. Exterior wall area is also <br /> increased resulting in hi' her construction cost and energy use. <br /> 2. Both the car and bus d p-off are too far from the building entries. <br /> Control of students goi g to and from these areas will be difficult. <br /> Covered walks must be rovided. <br /> 3. The shape of the buildi g has eliminated the PE playfield, which is a <br /> required, element of the lementary school program and,necessary for <br /> plan approval. <br /> 4. The corridor at the mul i-purpose room is too narrow. Most of the <br /> students will be criss-c swing through this area in the morning and <br /> afternoon. (The multi-p rpose room doors cannot swing more than 7" <br /> into the path of travel in the corridor.) <br /> 5. The principal's office is too far from the classroom areas (a private <br /> toilet for the principal i a luxury item). <br />
