SUTTON SCHOOL FACILITIES ANALYSIS
FACILITIES ANALYSIS
FOR SUTTON SCHOOL
Below includes a summary of priorities from Facilities Manager interviews, Principal interviews, Staff & Student surveys, and general site observations.
PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED:
-
ACCESSIBILITY
ADA improvements are required in several areas including:
- Accessible path/entry to the playground.
- Main Entry is accessed via stairs. Visitors who require an accessible entrance have to enter via the rear door.
- Improved access to the Nurse’s Room. Restroom is not ADA compliant; shower sits on concrete blocks.
- Only one restroom is ADA compliant and it is located remotely from the classrooms. Code requires more accessible
restrooms.
-
RESTROOMS
The single Middle School restroom is not soundproofed.
Access to restrooms during recess is through a side door now.
-
STORAGE
Outdoor PE More Storage is required. Furniture, equipment, outdoor equipment, etc is stored in corridors, classrooms, offices, and in any nook and cranny available. In general, visual clutter is proven to have a negative impact on learning.space is needed.
-
ACOUSTICS
No sound separation between spaces which makes private conversations difficult to have. This affects most rooms: critical offices (therapist, principal, special education, clinician, counselor), Music, Art, SHC, and Safe Space.
-
MAIN ENTRY
The main entry is too small, not welcoming, and not ADA accessible.
-
ADMIN. AREA
No fresh air and no windows in the Principal’s Office. No view of the main entry from the main office. Rooms are not soundproofed.
-
SITE
The parking and main driveway are dangerous and cannot be used by buses due to the steep hill. Not enough parking. The steep drive makes access from parking to the main entry difficult.
-
STAFF ROOM
Staff Room is undersized. It has no sink. It would be nice to have an area where staff could collaborate and have lunch together.
-
CLASS ROOMS
In general, the classrooms feel small. This limits movement and the ability to provide for project based learning spaces within the classroom.
The MS Math and Science room’s restroom was converted to a science sink leaving a single restroom at the Middle School area. The middle school classrooms are small and limit the number of students who can be accommodated.
-
MULTIPURPOSE
No spectator seating now in the gym. The multi-purpose room is too hot while other parts of the school are cold in the winter. The PE teacher’s office is within a storage closet.
-
SPECIAL ED
The current special ed space is too narrow to be useful.
-
MECHANICAL
VENTILATION: There are rooms that do not have fresh air as part of the HVAC system.
KITCHEN: The kitchen can be too hot, getting up to 90 degrees. The heat affects the Multi-Purpose Room.
BOILER: No backup boiler / heat source.
