· To be driven by WHS educational
needs, bench-marked to comparable high schools and appropriate best practices
· Consider initial capital cost to reduce long term operating costs.
· Design capacity for 1100 students
at 85% utilization
· Plan core facilities (auditorium,
cafeteria, library, and gymnasium) for 1200 students
· Plan locations for future
expansion of teaching and support spaces
· Emphasize quality of learning
environment
· Support an educational program of
the highest quality
· Provide all necessary support
space
· Design in flexibility to
accommodate future educational changes
· Provide for universal access to
technology
· Include construction cost, A/E
fees, and all other project-related costs
· Cost projections to include
time-value of money analysis
· Cost analysis to include life
cycle cost benefit
In addition to the School Committee’ charge, the HSBC has agreed on the following objectives for the initial design phase.
2.1. Education
· Expand classrooms sizes to meet
current space standards
· Provide additional classrooms for
optimal scheduling and utilization
· Upgrade science facilities
· Enhance cafeteria, athletics and
performing and fine arts facilities
· Provide computer access in all
teaching spaces and library and for all administrative functions
· Meet SBA planning standards,
except as otherwise dictated by WHS program
2.2. Teaching and Support
· Adequate space for faculty
workspace, meetings and conferences
· Plan adequate departmental
centers with workspace, office support and resource space
· Plan adequate storage space for
teachers, staff and general use
2.3. Student Life
· Provide unprogrammed space for
informal social and academic encounters among students and faculty, both
interior and exterior.
· Adequate space for activities
such as student newspaper, yearbook, clubs, etc.
· Plan adequate spaces for student
support: guidance, College Counseling, health, study and collaborative work
space
· Provide appropriate, convenient
and secure facilities for student storage
· Provide for display of student
work and achievement
2.4. Community
· Must be education-driven with
additional community use or separately funded
· Plan location for community pool,
but do not include in WHS project
cost
· Consider emergency shelter with
additional $46K funding
· Consider community uses in
vacated existing buildings, including WPS central office, but funded separately
from the WHS project cost
2.5. Environmental Responsibility
· Optimize interior environmental
quality for IAQ and educational performance
· Incorporate green design measures
that enhance educational performance or curriculum
· Consider green design measures
that produce positive payback on operational costs or that capture additional
funding
· Consider other green design measures
that are environmentally responsible at an acceptable cost
2.6. Financial Responsibility
· Wherever possible, provide
comparative cost data for major programmatic and building decisions
· Consider shared-use spaces and
other means to provide flexibility and reduce space costs
· Design proposals to be based on
materials and systems that have proven durability in similar HS construction
· Optimize for long term
operational savings over low initial cost
2.7. Operational
· Provide air conditioning for
interior and administrative spaces
· Consider AC in all year-round
spaces and include as an alternate cost
· Where feasible, plan building
systems for future expansion
· Design systems and select
materials for maintenance efficiency
2.8. Character and Appearance of
High School Facility
· Strong preference to maintain the
feel of the open campus
· Multi-building campus must be as
energy efficient as possible
· Design for improved access
security and effective response to an emergency condition
2.9. Design and Construction
· Plan for year-round use of school
but not for year-round educational program
· Core academic, support space,
athletics and other school uses are all of equal priority except as determined
by different reconstruction options
· Address code compliance
throughout buildings and site
· Plan for single-contract project
phased to accommodate on-going programs with minimal disruption and impact on
programs, students and staff.

entrance to the campus to solve traffic problems
· Consider artificial turf to
expand use of limited play fields
· Improve visibility of entrance
and wayfinding on campus
