5 INTRODUCTION The Facilities Assessment is a critical first step in the planning process helping school districts and their stakeholders better understand the current state of its facilities and how well these facilities support educational goals. The Districtwide Facilities Assessment provides an objective analysis of present building and site conditions and capabilities, and is a critical step needed to understand how today s facilities and sites support the District goals. The Facilities Assessment provides an independent, objective analysis of the present conditions and capabilities of the district s facilities and grounds. It also serves as a foundational resource document to support fiscally responsible immediate and long term facilities planning. The information presented in this report was gathered through on-site inspections of the sites and buildings, and interviews with various building administrators, teachers, support staff, and maintenance staff. Included in this report is an analysis of the existing building capacities, ADA facility assessments, educational adequacy, building exterior and interior assessments, and an overview of the sites occupied by the district. Please reference the complete Districtwide Facilities Assessment for comprehensive details, supporting data, and additional research. DISTRICT OVERVIEW Shorewood School District Mission Statement The mission of the School District of Shorewood is to provide a liberal arts education that prepares students to embrace the challenges of the future. We will foster a love of learning and the acquisition of knowledge and skills that will serve as the foundation and catalyst for a lifetime of learning. Shorewood School District Strategic Initiative: Modernizing Historic Facilities Vision: The Shorewood School District will provide safe, healthy, and efficiently operated school facilities, equipped for 21 st century learning, while honoring the history of our buildings. The Shorewood School District serves approximately 2100 students in grades 4K-12 in ten buildings. The district is comprised of four campuses: Atwater Elementary Campus o Main Elementary School Building (K-6) o Early Education Center (4K-5K) o (Powerhouse) o (Storage Shed) Lake Bluff Elementary Campus o Main Elementary School Building (K-6) o Early Education Center (4K-5K) o (Powerhouse) o (Storage Shed) Shorewood Intermediate School Campus (7-8) Shorewood High School Campus (9-12) o Administration Building o Science/Art Building Page 4 Eppstein Uhen Architects October 25, 2016

6 o Auditorium o PE/Arena Building o PE/SHS Pool o Fitness Center o VHE Pool o (Powerhouse) o (Garage) For each building and major section of this report, Eppstein Uhen Architects (EUA), Fredericksen Engineering, and Muermann Engineering have identified professional observations and recommendations to inform future facilities planning. PROJECT INTENT The first step of planning includes the assessment of building and site conditions. The study reviews major building systems and building operations: Mechanical Electrical Plumbing Building Exterior Building Interior Site Accessibility/ADA Building Capacity Analysis This report is based upon industry standards and practices in architecture and engineering in the areas of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection. Observations and recommendations included in this report are based on a cursory visual assessment and interviews on site. It is important to note that the buildings are generally well maintained and maintenance needs have been prioritized based on safety concerns and severity of need. While there are some findings within this report that demonstrate a more urgent need, many of the items could be addressed through ongoing scheduled maintenance. This study also includes observations related to compliance with applicable building codes and regulations. With district buildings designed as early as 1915 and 1924, under building codes that were less stringent, these schools now face significant code compliance issues, such as with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. Although older buildings are legally grandfathered by the previous codes, some items will require corrections in the event that renovations or additions be completed in the future. DATA GATHERING PROCESS Team site visits took place in June and July 2016 and included EUA, Fredericksen Engineering, and Muermann Engineering. The team met with administration, staff, and facilities staff to review priorities and concerns and gather general building information. The team walked through the building to conduct their own observations and analyses. Conditions observed were not field measured and require additional review if future action is to be taken.

7 UNDERSTANDING THE The Building Condition Assessment includes a comprehensive review of the building s exterior shell (roof, wall systems, windows/doors, etc.); interior finishes and materials (flooring, casework, etc.); mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems; and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) relative to accepted industry standards. The building assessment involves visual assessment of current conditions, documentation of observations, and general recommendations for repair and/or replacement of building components or systems where necessary. On-site observations include the review of system and component age, construction methods, material adequacy, and longevity. The Facility Assessment compiles visual assessment data, meeting discussions, and source documents to identify known deficiencies. The Facility Assessment does NOT include: Detailed validation of as-built conditions Hazardous material assessments Destructive testing or observation of concealed systems, below grade conditions, or components buried within walls, ceilings, or roofing systems Specific details about electrical panels, mechanical equipment, or plumbing components that are not readily visible Measurement of electrical loads or temperatures of any electrical equipment Actual efficiencies or performance testing of HVAC equipment (pumps, fans, boilers, etc.) Adequacy of fire or life safety components associated with building systems including code requirements, dampers, fire rating of systems, etc. Functionality and performance of the Plumbing equipment (pumps, water heaters, etc.) The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Assessment considers the compliance relative to accepted industry standards. A building s adherence with ADA is based on the review of the accessible routes to and through the building and site, as well as accessible features and accommodations inside the building as defined by ADA design guidelines and the International Building Code. The Educational Adequacy Assessment (EAA) is a comprehensive review of the educational program activities, use of the building, and physical spaces required for each activity and provides analysis of how effectively the spaces support student learning and program delivery. This is done with input from building principals and staff. The Building Capacity Analysis reviews the student capacity and evaluates the data against several nationally recognized educational planning recommendations. There are three different capacity calculations used that are detailed in the complete Facility Assessment. In general, over the past decade, recommended space provided per student has increased. The major reasons are: Space is needed to support children with special needs; students with disabilities, cognitively disabled students, and special education needs. Page 6 Eppstein Uhen Architects October 25, 2016

8 Space needed to support specialists in the area of reading, speech, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and Title I programs. Space needed to support paraprofessionals, volunteers, and parent support groups. Space needed to support personalized learning, team teaching, and flexible collaboration in common areas. Space to accommodate technology and its infrastructure.

9 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS BY BUILDING/CAMPUS Atwater Elementary Statistics Year Built: 1915 (additions/renovations in 1968) Site Size: 7.55 acres Building Size: 126,723 sq. ft. Current Enrollment (Sept. 2016): 544 Grade Levels: 4K-6 Building Condition Assessment ATWATER ELEMENTARY Exterior of Atwater Elementary is generally in good-to-fair condition. Windows are in fair condition; however, the upper sash of the windows has been screwed shut. All window screens have failed. Exterior doors should be addressed with general maintenance to confirm proper operation for exiting. The built-up roof is in good condition and well maintained; however, there is the need for tuckpointing at the parapets and chimney. (Chimney may need more extensive brick repair/removal.) Roof expansion joint covers should be replaced at all district buildings. In general, site landscaping should be cleaned up and site grading should be addressed to direction water away from the building and windows at grade. The original wood doors from 1915 are in poor condition. Acoustical lay in ceilings (ACT) are showing signs of sag or discoloration, and portions of the grid have discolored or rusted. Sporadic ceiling replacements have taken place. An area of further investigation should be a crack in the wall that travels the entire height of the building at the center stair, which was observed by staff as seemingly getting bigger. ADA Observations ATWATER ELEMENTARY There is one ADA entrance on the north side of the building; however, the ramp is secluded and in poor condition. There are no restrooms in Atwater that meet ADA compliance. Classroom entries are non ADA-compliant. Stairs and handrails do not meet current building code. Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing Assessment ATWATER ELEMENTARY Six air handling units contain steam heating coils but lack air conditioning. Separate units with air conditioning serve the Office and Computer Lab. The steam heating system consists of two steam boilers located in the basement. These boilers were installed in 2014 and are in good condition. This building has both digital and pneumatic controls. Despite the fairly new steam heating plant, much of the other HVAC equipment in the building is at or nearing the end of its expected service life. The 1993 addition is fully sprinkled; the original building is not. Page 8 Eppstein Uhen Architects October 25, 2016

10 The main electric service for this building has been recently replaced in 1993 to a 2000A, 120/208V 3 phase, 4 wire service. Most panelboards throughout the building are nearing the end of their lifespan. Lighting throughout most spaces consists of 2 x4 recessed parabolic 3-lamp T8 fixtures. Emergency lighting is minimal. The clock/bell schedule system is in the main office is old but in good working condition. The access control system controls 4 exterior doors via card readers and 2 via keypad. Some exterior doors lack door contacts. The intercom system is antiquated but in good working condition. The Notifier fire alarm system is in nearing the end of its useful lifespan and should be scheduled for future replacement. Fire alarm smoke detection coverage is adequate throughout spaces. Fire/smoke doors are no longer functional. Fire alarm notification coverage is lacking in areas. The CCTV system consists of 6 cameras throughout the building, monitored at the front office. The water piping in this facility is mostly original and is copper piping that is in fair to poor condition. Many of the valves are also original and there are not enough isolation valves for proper system maintenance. The incoming water main was replaced in the 1980 s. The sanitary piping is cast iron piping that is original in most cases. The storm piping is cast iron original piping. The owner has stated that they have groundwater issues with water coming up thru the floor in the multipurpose room on the lower level. The school is built in a high water area and has issues with water in lower level. Most of the plumbing fixtures in the building appear to be original and are in poor condition. Educational Adequacy Assessment ATWATER ELEMENTARY The site is well maintained and has adequate space for outdoor activity and play. There are current efforts to replace outdated furniture with newer, more flexible furniture. The school is equipped with wireless technology and has projection capabilities in most learning spaces. Almost all learning spaces have large windows which provide ample natural light. Not all building perimeter entry points are monitored. Buildings do not have appropriate controlled access sequences for students and visitors. Entry access codes are provided to nonemployees (parents). Lack of transparency inside the building inhibits passive supervision of common areas. Many spaces are too small for their intended use. Building typically does not provide flexible learning spaces or access to different types of learning spaces to support different forms of learning. A lack of visual connectivity between spaces, and from learning spaces to common areas, further restricts learning options. A number of spaces are partially below grade, limiting the amount of natural daylight and views to outside. Building typically does not provide flexible furniture. Building is old and showing signs of wear which impacts the environment for learning. Windows and screens are difficult to operate. Page 9 Eppstein Uhen Architects October 25, 2016

23 Recommended Next Steps At the conclusion of a Facilities Assessment, many school districts ask how to best proceed. It is our recommendation that the Administration closely review the document for content and understand the observations and recommendations. For the Shorewood School District, the next step will involve sharing the key findings with the broader community through Community Workshops in November. It will be very helpful to gather initial feedback from a variety of district stakeholders to establish priorities for long-term facilities master planning. Once priorities have been discussed, the identified needs should again be considered with targeted areas confirmed for additional research and preliminary costing developed with the support of Miron Construction, the district s Construction Manager/Estimators. From there, each recommendation can be prioritized in a way that best works with your funding strategy and shared for further community feedback. This will develop a phased approach to building your long-term facilities master plan and to resolving the most pressing facility needs at Shorewood School District. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this endeavor. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this summary, please feel free to contact the EUA team.
