LYNDON TOWN SCHOOL FACILITIES ANALYSIS

FACILITIES ANALYSIS FOR LYNDON TOWN SCHOOL

Below includes a summary of priorities from Facilities Manager interviews, Principal interviews, Staff & Student surveys, and general site observations.

PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED:

  • MAIN ENTERANCE

    The administration area and principal’s office should be closer to the main entry. The first floor exterior doors need to be replaced and/or refinished.

  • SMALLER SPACES

    Several of the existing classrooms could be better utilized for current uses: Rooms 110, 208, 113, 115, 313, 260 and the computer room could be divided into 2-3 smaller rooms.

  • GYM

    The gym windows and blinds need to be replaced.

    The gym storage area should be redesigned to improve the function.

    Outdoor PE storage space is needed.

  • MULTIPURPOSE ROOM

    A second Gym / Multipurpose room for the middle school would have significant impact on scheduling. This could be used for PE, performance, dancing, and a second cafeteria.

  • CAFETERIA & KITCHEN

    A second cafeteria would allow for more students to be served simultaneously.

    The kitchen appliances need to be updated and replaced. Many have not been serviced in some time.

    The acoustics can be untenable in the kitchen’s serving area and in the cafeteria

  • FINISHES

    In general, many of the finishes are at the end of their life cycle—corridor carpeting, classroom carpeting, wall coverings, stair treads, rubber base, and landing finishes. New paint at all walls and handrails.

  • BOILER ROOM ROOF

    The boiler room roof is at the end of its life cycle and should be replaced.

  • LOCKER ROOMS

    Locker rooms are underutilized because of poor configuration.

  • STAFF ROOM

    Staff could use a more comfortable place to convene. The personal wellness room/fitness room is a good resource but a shower would make it more useful.

  • EXTERIOR GROUNDS

    The lower parking lot should be paved, and a gate should be added (for maintenance/security reasons).

    The baseball field needs to be upgraded and should be reconfigured to regulation size.

    The Maintenance Garage overhead door should be enlarged and replaced to allow for a 9’-6’ snowplow.

    Vehicular and pedestrian flow and solutions during drop off and pick up should be explored in more detail.

    The old basketball court is not used and could be repurposed.

  • LIBRARY

    The furniture is outdated and some is being replaced this summer. AV Room may be underutilized and outdated.
