1. Law enforcement typically prefer wide open <br />areas to be able to see everything going on <br />outside and inside <br />2. Work with them on hard entrances/exits (LE can <br />get there within 5-6 minutes) <br />3. Lots of cameras – school administrators and law <br />enforcement can see cameras at any time <br />ii. Renee Price: Schools look to be large with multiple <br />levels – how are the fire exits integrated to quickly get <br />large numbers of people out of the building <br />1. Tom – line of sight is integrated with purposeful <br />of intersections (avoid hidden corners) <br />2. Can close off sections for fire and can control <br />access in an emergency <br />3. Exits are all within 250 feet (part of code) but <br />do try to limit exterior exits (all controlled by <br />remote access systems) <br />iii. Bonnie Hauser: Do kids do better academically in these <br />facilities? <br />1. Tom – they are polling to understand that <br />(especially around performance with more <br />collaborative spaces) <br />2. Eric – kids treat buildings differently – when <br />they’re new and nice they treat them better and <br />stop each other from mistreating it <br />iv. Bonnie Hauser: have about 30 schools between the 2 <br />districts and most are obsolete – how do you build so <br />that these new schools will last 100 years? <br />1. Tom - Design is key – have to be built to be <br />flexible (can be easily renovated or <br />reconstructed) <br />a. Concrete base - have to be able to <br />withstand hurricanes (natural <br />environment and the wear and tear <br />schools get) <br />b. Terrazzo floors almost exclusively are <br />added to the schools <br />c. Floors are ground and don’t have to be <br />waxed and stripped <br />d. Use carpet tiles so only have to replace <br />the tile, not the whole room <br />e. 100 years may be overstating but 50-60 <br />years is reasonable <br />v. Jean Hamilton: how do these compare to the DPI <br />standards and what is required in a school? <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: F3ECCCC4-11C5-4B8B-A148-28FAABFF6334
