MILLER'S RUN SCHOOL FACILITIES ANALYSIS

FACILITIES ANALYSIS UPDATES (AUGUST 2024)

gbA Architecture & Planning has been working with Kingdom East School District to complete a two-phase Facilities Report: Part 1 is an analysis of the existing conditions for the seven KESD schools which includes an Existing Building Analysis and an Educational & Programming Analysis. Part 2 consists of Conceptual Design for a number of different approaches for the District's facilities. The KESD schools include: Burke Town School, Concord School, Lunenburg School, Lyndon Town School, Miller's Run School, Newark Street School, and Sutton School. The Existing Building and Educational & Programming Analysis included here, makes up Part 1 of the Facilities Report. The purpose of this undertaking is to ascertain the condition of the existing facilities for maintenance purposes and to determine how successfully the facilities provide a supportive learning environment for students and staff. This was considered for both current and future educational programming. This report completes Part 1. Part 2 of the Facilities Report will include Conceptual Design, which will begin following the approval and acceptance of Part 1. Conceptual Design will build upon the Existing Facilities Conditions Assessment and Educational & Programming Analysis and provide multiple planning solutions that create appropriate and inspiring facilities and campuses to benefit the experience of students, staff, and the community at large.

Please join us as we discuss our Part II, Concept Design

Kingdom East School District’s board and administration, along with Diantha Korzun and Steve Kredell of gbArchitecture, would like to share Concept Designs for Miller's Run School that address needs identified in Part I of KESD’s Facilities Analysis process.


For Part II, multiple planning solutions create appropriate and inspiring facilities and campuses to support and benefit the experience of students, staff, and the community at large.

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

PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED:

  • CONTROLS

    Boiler controls repair/replacement for proper temperature control in student spaces.

  • GYM

    Improved sound system.

  • RESTROOMS

    Upgrade Elementary Restrooms to single user rooms. Create (4) rooms from the existing (2) rooms.

    Find space within the building to house a dedicated Self Regulation Room. Currently, this use occurs in the principal’s conference room which does not fit the purpose well.
