2.1 SCHOOL BUILDING DESIGN
A. I
NTRODUCTIONThe following standards complement the Facilities Space Program and the Educational Specifications, and deal with general planning and design issues.
B. G
ENERALR
EQUIREMENTS1. District Criteria
The guidelines and criteria of this chapter must be closely coordinated with those of the “Educational Specifications.”
2. Referenced Codes and Standards
a. Legislative and regulatory requirements affecting schools in California include:
1) Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations (especially Sections 14001 and 14030).
2) Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (State Building Code).
3) Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations for Children’s Centers.
4) American with Disabilities Act (Public Law 101-336, Title II).
5) Education Code Section 39113.5 for “before and after-school Child Care Programs”.
3. General Planning Requirements
a. High Schools and Middle Schools shall be planned and designed in accordance with the “Planning
& Design Guidelines for Small Learning Communities” for Los Angeles Unified School District Secondary Schools (Available on LAUSD Website):
http://www.laschools.org/employee/design/fs-studies-and-reports/file?file_id=310551421
b. Pest Management.
1) Review the District’s “Integrated Pest Management Practices” manual and refer to Section 2.2, “Site Design,” for more specific criteria.
2) Birds (pigeons, gulls, others) are a persistent and provoking maintenance problem for the District, as well as a health and sanitary hazard. Exercise care in the design of all exterior facades and structures to eliminate roosting or nesting of birds. Any protrusions architectural, structural or otherwise that are greater than 1 ½” shall be protected with bird deterrent devices or be designed to be bird unfriendly. Use of sonic or other electronic bird deterrents shall not be used since they are not effective. Ornithologists have determined that birds hear at or near the same frequency as humans.
a) Do not use exposed truss members, flanged beams, cantilevered beams or other elements that provide such roosting. Important everywhere, it is especially so in Lunch Shelters.
b) Where essential building elements may provide such roosts, such as solar shades or light shelves, open ladders where necessary, entry covers, security devices, and similar structures, minimize the risks by sloping the element, providing, open uninviting surfaces, installing edge barriers, and similar measures.
c) This is an important District concern, and must be addressed at both the Schematic Design and Design Development stages, together with the elements of concern described above.
c. Room Access
1) Do not provide entry to any room through another room – for example, a low-voltage electrical room through a power electrical room.
2) Exceptions are teachers’ workrooms from classrooms, administrators’ private offices from an open work room, or smaller rooms serving a general kitchen area.
d. Building Access
1) At all building entrances, provide shelter from stormy weather (rain, hail, ice, etc.) by providing overhead cover with appropriate roof drainage.
2) At all such access, provide non-slip floor (walking) surfaces to improve safety when wet or icy. CHPS requires a walk-off mat at building entrances.
3) The entrance to the school needs to be expressed architecturally to clearly define a point of entry. Entrance shall be adjacent to the administrative offices for entry control. Signage and electronic display marquee may complement entrance design.
4) Visitors shall enter the school site through the administration area, after registering with the school staff. The Educational Specifications provides layouts to meet this critical security concern.
e. Energy and Sustainability
1) The principles of sustainable design and energy conservation, as embodied in these requirements and in the CHPS criteria, represent important District goals, and shall be applied in all aspects of school planning and design, including building orientation and configuration, envelope and fenestration selection, and selection of building systems and equipment. (See section 2.4 “Environment and Sustainability”).
f. Educational Specifications
1) Refer to the Educational Specifications for additional criteria and suggested space layouts and to other sections of this Guide for items such as lighting, acoustics, finishes, air quality, communications, etc.
