11 FEASIBILITY STUDY 3-D VIEW OPTION 1

12 FEASIBILITY STUDY OPTION 1 ADVANTAGES: + Bus entry located at triangle intersection at Saul Road and Haverhill Drive, so it is not located directly in front of any houses. + Grade levels are organized by floor, one grade per floor (Grade 6, Grade 7 and Grade 8). + Activity spaces are separated from academic spaces. + The main entrance is easily identifiable. + Care taken to separate parent cars from buses and all vehicles from pedestrians on the school site. + Four Story building preserves more green space. + Administration is located at both entrances; main entrance and activity entrance. + Layout of softball and soccer fields is efficient. + Corridors surrounding core spaces enhances circulation within the building. + Staff/visitor parking is maximized as compared to the other options. + Car queuing space at the student drop-off is maximized as compared to the other options. + Playfields and courts are adjacent to each other for ease of monitoring students. DISADVANTAGES: - Staff/visitors parking less than maximum requirement (-20 spaces) may create traffic congestion in the community with on street parking. However at staffing for 836 students the initial parking requirement will be met. - Administration suite is on the lowest level, not as centralized as desired. - The main entrance is located at the beginning of the parent drop off area, possibly creating traffic congestion if cars do not pull forward. - Building parking lot on top of existing WSSC water main. - The community asserts that there is a safety concern with buses, parents, and pedestrians entering the site at Saul Road. - Retaining walls at the staff parking lot face the street. - Fourth story requires more expensive construction protected structure. - Future re-locatable classrooms would be located north of the bus area, where students have to go around the bus loop to get to the portables. - No courtyard - No natural light in the music suite.

DISADVANTAGES: -Staff/visitors parking less than maximum requirement (-25 spaces) may create traffic congestion in the community with on street parking. However at staffing for 836 students the initial parking requirement will be met. - Administration suite is on the lowest level, not as centralized as desired. - The main entrance is located at the beginning of the parent drop off area, possibly creating traffic congestion if cars do not pull forward. - Building parking lot on top of existing WSSC water main. - The community asserts that there is a safety concern with buses, parents, and pedestrians entering the site at Saul Road. - Retaining walls at the staff parking lot face the street. - Music suite below classrooms requires extra sound isolation. - Layout of softball and soccer fields not as efficient as option 1. - Fourth story requires more expensive construction protected structure.

DISADVANTAGES: - Staff/visitors parking less than maximum requirement (-30 spaces) may create traffic congestion in the community with on street parking. However at staffing for 836 students the initial parking requirement will be met. - Administration suite is on the lowest level, not as centralized as desired. - The main entrance is located at the beginning of the parent drop off area, possibly creating traffic congestion if cars do not pull forward. - Building parking lot on top of existing WSSC water main. - The community asserts that there is a safety concern with buses, parents, and pedestrians entering the site at Saul Road. - Retaining walls at the staff parking lot face the street. - Sharp turns and steep grades for the buses leaving the bus area. - Bus loop runs parallel to Saul Road reducing buffer space that could provide landscape screening. - Building has the largest footprint, because it is three stories.
