District Design Standards
The district design standards will be the guideline for designing future educational facilities in the district at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The standards will include space requirements, capacity models, lunch period preferences, target student building utilization rates, adjacency diagrams, room descriptions, and room data sheets.
Facility Condition Assessment
The Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) includes physical assessment of the majority of the District’s facility portfolio, amounting to over 2.2 million square feet.
This FCA is intended to provide an overall understanding of the current conditions of New Caney ISD facilities as well as function as a planning tool; providing insight into anticipated needs for any future implementation of lesser to greater initiatives and goals. The FCA will compile the District’s facility information into a software database for record and planning purposes.
Capital Planning
The Capital Planning scope of work includes consultation on facilities with the District and its Board, Administration, Staff and Committees and assistance in the development of recommendations for facility improvements.
In consultation with the District, this work will result in the development of ranking strategies, project scenarios, and a listing and ranking of current and future facility needs. The capital planning effort will also include a parity study and development of a timeline for facility expansion and replacement.
Currently, the design standards are nearing completion and have included input from the district's various departments. Also, facility condition assessment site visits will be complete in mid August. Accessibility assessment, a component of the condition assessment, is underway and will progress through the remainder of the month.
