Design The design for high school #3 includes a student capacity of 800 with a core facility for 1,200 students. The proposed design includes a full gym, auditorium, commons and athletic complex. The design reflects the needs of the high school reform committee by designating career and technical education space for academies and a design that features smaller learning communities. The High School Advisory Committee approved the design during their final meeting in May 2004. The square footage has been established at 162,185 square feet. This is 20,000 square feet less than the original proposal and 7,000 square feet more than was provided for in the original budget. This conceptual plan was presented to the Board of County Commissioners on September 21, 2004. Budget and Costs Included for your review is a history of the budget and probable costs for High School #1 The sections below correspond to the spreadsheets as indicated. Initial Budget The initial budget was developed after the County Commissioners established a $30,000,000 finding level for the project. That funding included $27,800,000 and $2,200,000 if the project met "smart growth' principals. The square footage of the building was determined by removing land acquisition costs and site development costs and backing out the rest of the budget to reach the 155,000 square feet. This budget was also established using the approved Orange County Construction Standards that set the square foot costs at $110.00 per square foot.
