Current SituationInfrastructure identified as a primary obstacle to
achieving overall objectivesNegative factors on infrastructure …eg
Geographical remoteness and poor accessLimited resources including funding, useable land and availability of site utilities (eg water, power)Historical backlog of maintenanceLack of consistent physical standards for site planning, building design and constructionLimited capacity for enforcing standards that exist
Continued …
These have resulted in:
Too many substandard, uncomfortable and unsafe existing facilities
Too few facilities at many schools/health centres
Lack of schools/health centres in strategic locations (eg no public high school on Ebeye)
Unreliable power and water provisions, especially on Outer Islands
Beca FindingsResearch and investigations at each school/health centre in RMI confirm overall poor condition and inadequacy of infrastructureDetailed inventory of current facility conditions and performance has been developed and assessed to produce a maintenance planSite investigations and MOE/MOH discussions have resulted in Project Development Plans (PDP’s) for selected projects and building typesThese are at a preliminary stage, needing RMI feedback plus further information to finalise

Outer Island Typical Classroom and Staff Housing
Basis of PDP’sNational sector policies and priorities … eg
Long term sustainability of new facilitiesCost effectiveness, to minimise capital and ongoing operating costs
Planning Directives … egProviding space for kindergarten facilities at elementary schoolsProviding expanded high school classroom capacity
Continued …
Technical Standards … eg
Site planning for environmental sensitivity, space efficiency, minimal excavation and erosion
Building design and construction for corrosion resistance, natural ventilation, rainwater catchment
30:1 maximum student/classroom ratio
20’ x 30’ minimum standard classroom size
Site PlanningLong buildings across
the wind flow create big wind shadows
Smaller buildings angled to the wind give better site wind flow
Building VentilationTypical existing
