Based on the opportunities, facility conditions and code issues identified in this report, Albert Einstein Middle School appears to be in generally fair condition and should be a solid candidate for further modernization.


Narrative SummaryThe site is just over 20.5 acres in a fully developed neighborhood and adjacent, on the north side, to Rosemont Community Park. The school was built in 1964 with a design shared by four other schools in the district and is in generally fair condition. Designed for an enrollment of 800 it currently serves 805 students.

Access to the school from Kiefer Blvd. is convenient but there is not a convenient turn a round or loop route for buses. There are no designated passenger loading and unloading zones. Drop offs currently take place along the Mirandy Drive frontage and in the staff parking lot. Drop off in the parking lot creates conflicts with parking. Both locations generate traffic conflicts and unsafe conditions. There have been recent upgrades for paving and striping to the parking lot and service drives plus some path of travel upgrades have been made but more are needed. At a minimum, a barrier free drop off space is required and separate designated drop off lanes for bus and parent use are recommended.

About 20% of the classrooms are on the second floor and served by a single elevator and two stairways.

Both stairs and elevator need barrier free upgrades. The nearly fifty year old school was built with little considerationfor energy efficiency and improvements could be made through the use of more efficient windows and mechanical systems. Benefits could also be gained through more efficient lighting and effective energy control systems. The existing windows in the primary classrooms are minimal and do not provide a good level of natural light. The school has undergone some improvements but does not yet meet most contemporary educational needs.

The student gathering areas of the campus are primarily associated with the Quad. This area is adequate and in reasonably good condition. The student snack bar is adjacent to the Quad. Other outdoor student areas include landscape planters, some with benches, between classroom buildings.

The athletic fields and paved play courts are adequate for the current enrollment but in fair condition. Some areas need resurfacing and striping. More efficient irrigation and water management for the fields would be a recommended improvement.

Water Efficiency Exterior Multiple old controllers do not effectively manage irrigation. Replacement with central “smart” system would significantly improve water conservation.

Energy & AtmosphereSome low voltage cabling installed in surface raceway. Other areas cabling is surface mounted or exposed.

Materials & Resources ExteriorInadequate slopes and drainage allows the accumulation or water that damages roofing and creates leaks.

Indoor Environmental Quality Inadequate power for contemporary uses plus surface mounted raceways and exposed wiring reduce functionality and contribute to unpleasant environments.


Water Efficiency InteriorReplace plumbing fittings with “low flow” automatic devices.

AEMS-II

High Performance Transformation

Encourage innovation in high performance school design creating safe, motivating and sustainable learning environments that reduce dependence on non-sustainable resources.

Create safe, barrier free outdoor learning environments incorporating efficient and effective storm water management, landscaping, lighting and surfaces.

Improve the efficiency of fixtures, appliances and irrigation systems to reduce domestic water usage.

Optimize energy efficiency and performance to minimize environmental impacts and reduce operating costs associated with fossil fuels.

Improve the learning environment and extend the life-cycle of facilities while encouraging the use of efficient sustainable materials and reducing waste.

Enhance air quality, thermal comfort, natural light, acoustic performance and physical environments while reducing pollutants. Provide a safe, healthy, functional environment to help motivate students and encourage attendance.

Indoor Environmental Quality Barrier free casework, fixtures and teaching stations along with improved storage would greatly improve classrooms.

Draft

The vocational shop classrooms have been closed and the spaces are being used for art and science classrooms and storage. In the current condition these spaces are not suited for these uses.

The school is well designed and effectively integrates the older buildings with the newer. The buildings are in generally good condition. Upgrades are needed however, especially to the auditorium and associated classrooms, to comply with code egress and access requirements. Barrier free access upgrades are needed throughout the campus.

The school buildings, especially the older ones, were built with little consideration for energy efficiency. Improvements could be made through the use of more efficient windows, lighting and mechanical systems. Benefits could also be gained through more effective energy control systems. The schools boiler is not currently in use and the system needs study for upgrading or removal.

Outdoor student gathering areas include a large plaza or quad and a small amphitheater adjacent to the music classrooms and snack bar.

The amphitheater however, is surrounded by asphalt paving and is not an inviting environment. It could be greatly improved with the addition of some drought tolerant landscaping and shade trees.

Narrative SummaryThe site is 13.5 acres at the corner of Land Park Drive and Vallejo Way in a fully developed neighborhood. Land Park Drive is a major street with public transportation. The school serves a student body of 688. The permanent buildings have three distinct components. The Auditorium and six classrooms identified as "3A" & "3C“ were built in 1938. An attached classroom wing, "3B" was added in 1975. Building 1 (core building) and the Gym were built in 1977.

Vehicle access and student drop off is along Vallejo Way just off of Land Park Drive. The main entrance to the school and administration office is along Vallejo Way and reasonably well defined. There, however, is no convenient turn-a-round or exit for traffic back to Land Park except through narrow residential streets. Additionally, there are no designated passenger loading and unloading zones and no barrier free drop off space. Drop offs currently take place along the Vallejo Way frontage and in the staff/visitor parking lot fronting Vallejo Way. Both locations generate traffic conflicts and unsafe conditions. Path of travel upgrades are needed from the parking lots. At a minimum, a barrier free drop off space is required and a designated drop off lane is recommended along Vallejo Way.

Building 1 houses Administration, Media Center, Multi-Purpose Cafeteria, Kitchen and 25 classrooms that include band, vocational and science classes.

The school has undergone some improvements but most areas still need considerable upgrades for CBC Access Compliance and to meet contemporary educational needs.

The student gathering areas of the campus are primarily associated with the "Quad" which is adequate for school gatherings and in reasonably good condition. Other outdoor student areas include landscape planters, some with benches, between classroom buildings. Water drainage is also an issue creating large areas of puddles on the walks.

The athletic fields and paved play courts are adequate for the current enrollment but in fair condition. Some areas received a seal coat which is problematic on hot days.

Based on the opportunities, facility conditions and code issues identified in this report, Fern Bacon Middle School appears to be in generally fair condition and should be a solid candidate for further modernization.

Narrative SummaryFern Bacon Middle School ; one of the District’s Priority Schools, was originally constructed in 1960. The site is just under 14 acres in a fully developed neighborhood and adjacent, on the south side, to Bowling Green Charter Elementary School.

The school’s design is shared by four other schools in the district and is in generally fair condition. Designed for an enrollment of 800, it functioned as a K-8 until the K through 6 grade students moved to the new John Still Elementary School in 2006. John Still Middle School currently serves 611 students.

There are no designated passenger loading and unloading zones. Drop offs currently take place along the Cuny Ave. frontage and in the staff parking lot. Both locations generate traffic conflicts and unsafe conditions. There have been recent upgrades for paving and striping to the parking lot and service drives. Some path of travel upgrades have been made but more are needed.

About 20% of the classrooms are on the second floor and served by a single ramp and two stairways. As with other schools of the period, the fifty year old school was built with little consideration for energy efficiency.

Additional parking area is recommended and should be located in reasonable proximity to the school's entrance and administrative office. There have been recent path of travel upgrades to the staff parking lots but more is needed to be fully code compliant.

The campus is a pleasant homogenous design with good internal circulation and the core secured by ornamental steel gates. The campus is well planned for a compact facility and suited to the neighborhood. However an updated color scheme would be more appropriate for the age group. Some modernization has been completed to upgrade restrooms for code compliance but has left unsightly patches in tile finishes. Additional upgrades for code compliance are needed throughout the campus.

Narrative SummaryThe site is just over 9 acres in a fully developed residential neighborhood just off commercially developed Folsom Blvd. The site is small but appears adequate for this school that was built in 1976, This existing Middle School campus is in generally fair condition and has been looked at as a viable candidate to be converted into an IB Program to support Grades 7-12.

The Buses currently bring about 70% of the students to school and create some traffic issues within the neighborhood. The buses must route through the neighborhood to enter and exit the school but are able to loop from Folsom Blvd. and back with reasonable convenience. There are, however, no designated passenger loading and unloading zones, no separation for parents and buses and no barrier free drop off spaces. Drop offs take place along the "N" Street frontage and in the staff parking lot at the west side of the campus. Both locations currently generate traffic conflicts and unsafe conditions. At a minimum, a barrier free drop off space is required and a designated drop off lane is recommended.

The public and main entrance to the school and administrative offices is located along "N" Street and at some distance from the available visitor parking.

About 20% of the classrooms are on the second floor and served by a ramp and two stairways. The fifty plus year old school was built with little consideration for energy efficiency and improvements could be made through the use of more efficient windows and mechanical systems. Benefits could also be gained through more efficient lighting and additional newer energy control systems. The existing windows in the primary classrooms are minimal and do not provide a good level of natural light.

Recent and ongoing upgrades to the site and modernization of the "Industrial Arts" wing to serve as computer, computer drafting and art labs are significant improvements. Some upgrades are still needed to comply with code access requirements.

The student gathering areas of the campus are primarily associated with the Quad. This area is adequate and in reasonably good condition and would benefit from the addition of shade trees or canopies. The student snack bar is conveniently adjacent to the Quad. Other outdoor student areas include landscape planters, some with benches, between classroom buildings.

Narrative SummaryRosa Parks Middle School ; one of the District’s Priority Schools, was originally constructed in 1960. Previously named Charles M. Goethe Middle School, the site is just over 13 acres in a fully developed neighborhood and is adjacent to an elementary school to the south and a city park to the southeast. The properties are separated by 6' chain link fences.

The school was built in 1960 with a design shared by four other schools in the district and is in generally fair condition. It previously had an enrollment of nearly 800 but currently serves just 471 students.

Access to the school is from 68th Avenue just west of 24th Street. There is no turn a round for buses but a loop route to and from major streets is available although long. There are also no designated passenger loading and unloading zones. Drop offs currently take place along the 68th Avenue frontage and in the staff parking lot. Both locations generate traffic conflicts and unsafe conditions. There have been recent upgrades for paving and striping to the parking lot and service drives. Some path of travel upgrades have been made but more are needed. At a minimum, a barrier free drop off space is required and separate designated drop off lanes for bus and parent use are recommended.

The athletic fields and paved play courts are adequate for the current enrollment and in fair condition. Some areas need resurfacing and striping. More efficient irrigation and water management for the fields would be a recommended improvement.

Based on the opportunities, facility conditions and code issues identified in this report, Rosa Parks Middle School appears to be in generally fair condition and should be a solid candidate for further modernization.

There are 7 classrooms on the second floor served by a ramp and two stairways. The fifty year old school was built with little consideration for energy efficiency but improvements could be made through the use of more efficient windows, lighting and mechanical systems. Benefits could also be gained through more effective energy control systems. The school has undergone some improvements and Building 3 is currently undergoing some modernization. Upgrades for code access compliance however, are still needed throughout the campus. Classrooms previously used for vocational shops are used for storage or converted to other uses.

The campus core is secured by ornamental steel gates and fencing and the student gathering areas of the campus appear adequate and well maintained. The campus core has a large quad with a concrete platform for events and areas adjacent to the snack bar for outdoor eating.

Narrative SummaryThe site is just over 22 acres in a fully developed neighborhood and adjacent to Cabrillo Elementary School and a community park with tennis and swim facilities. The school was built in 1961, it is in generally fair condition and currently serves 706 students.

Vehicle access uses fairly wide neighborhood streets and a loop route is available that helps avoid some potential conflicts. The entry to the school is clear with convenient visitor parking. However, there are no designated passenger loading and unloading zones nor a barrier free drop off space. Drop offs currently take place along the Elmer Way frontage, where sidewalks are narrow, and in the staff parking lot at the north end of the campus. Both locations generate traffic conflicts and unsafe conditions. There have been recent upgrades to the visitor parking lot and entry walkways but the staff parking lots need paving and path of travel upgrades. At a minimum, a barrier free drop off space is required and a designated drop off lane is recommended along Elmer Way.

Benefits could also be gained through more efficient lighting and effective energy control systems.

The structure is primarily steel and masonry with large areas of window wall systems including awning windows and spandrel panels. The condition and age of the windows and window system shows signs of deterioration and has numerous leaks. In addition to the overall condition issues, the windows and panels are single glazed un-insulated and inefficient. The interior corridors on the second and third floors of the main classroom building are wide and lined with lockers, but access to and from the classrooms does not comply with code. These conditions will likely require significant upgrades with any future modernization. The design of the school is dated and the classrooms and amenity areas reflect the age of the school with some deterioration and many barrier free access issues.

The student snack bar has access to the Quad for outdoor eating. The gathering areas of the campus appear adequate and in reasonably good condition. The campus core has a small "Quad" area that appears underutilized.

The campus core is secured by unsightly ornamental steel gates and fencing.

Narrative SummaryThe site is 7.5 acres in a confined fully developed semi-urban location and is un-suitably small for this middle school. A typical suburban site for this size school would be at least twice the area. The school was built in 1958 and serves just over 1,200 students with most of the classrooms on second and third floors.

Access to the campus is along "I" Street just off Alhambra Blvd. A drop off lane was added along "I" Street but conflicts with traffic into and out of the parking areas remain. There is no convenient turn a round or loop routing for buses. Parking is less than adequate and adversely affects student circulation. In addition to street, parking and drive conflicts there are significant "path of travel" issues around and within the campus. While the area is served by public transportation, there is no fully compliant path of travel to the campus. These are apt to become major circumstances with future modernization.

The upper floors are served by stairs and a single elevator. The fifty plus year old school was built with little consideration for energy efficiency and improvements could be made through the use of more efficient windows, wall systems and mechanical systems.

efficiency. Some of Building "E", previously used as IndustrialArts studies has been converted to serve other needs including storage and classrooms. The school has undergone other improvements but most areas still need considerable upgrades for CBC Access Compliance and to meet contemporary educational needs.

The student gathering areas of the campus are primarily associated with the "Quad" which is adequate for school gatherings and in reasonably good condition. Other outdoor student areas include landscape planters, some with benches, between classroom buildings. The large ramp however, in the court between classroom wings, has created concerns for safety and visibility in the core area. The need for cameras to monitor the area behind the gym building and around the portables has also been noted. Some covered walk roofs are leaking and rainwater flowing from the roofs create large, hazardous puddles on the walks. Water drainage is also an issue adding to the problem.

Narrative SummaryWill C. Wood Middle School; one of the District’s Priority Schools was constructed in 1961. The site is just under 19 acres in a fully developed neighborhood and adjacent, on the east side, to 65th Street Expressway.

There are no designated passenger loading and unloading zones. Drop offs currently take place along the Lemon Hill Ave. frontage and in the staff parking lot. Both locations generate traffic conflicts and unsafe conditions. There have been recent upgrades for paving and striping to the parking lot and service drives. Some path of travel upgrades have been made but more are needed.

About 20% of the permanent classrooms are on the second floor and served by a single ramp and two stairways. Nine of the 49 classrooms are in portables. As with other schools of the period, the fifty year old school was built with little consideration for energy
