Junior High Floor Plan
FIRST FLOOR
Option A: Non-Construction – Not Feasible Maximize the capacity in the existing facility 2013 Enrollment was 781 students Building Capacity = 865 students Building will be over capacity in one year – 2015 at a projected enrollment of 899 students Design Capacity (in year 2023) = 1,273 students The existing building is fully utilized
Option B: Renovation – Not Feasible Similar to Option 1 – Building will be over capacity by 2015. Renovating any existing spaces will not increase the capacity in the building Existing classrooms are currently undersized at approximately 700 SF versus the SFD 938 SF for general classrooms The existing classrooms are not right-sized. Discuss alternative to right-size existing educational spaces which would result in fewer classrooms but the overall building capacity remains the same. Renovation doesn’t increase capacity overall
Option 1: Addition on Site Selective Renovation of Junior High plus 29,114 SF Addition New School size based on SFD Capacity Calculator
188,735 SF
Existing School size per AiM Database
-159,621 SF
Allowed Addition Size Addition accommodates capacity for 408 students Maximize the capacity in the existing facility Does the District desire to right-size the existing classrooms?
29,114 SF
Option 1: Addition on Site ADDITION Design starts in July, 2015 Estimated construction completion in 2018 Target capacity for design is year 2023 (5 years following construction completion) Design Capacity = 1,273 students Building Size for 1,273 students = 188,735 SF Addition Size= 29,114 SF
Option 1: Addition on Site SITE Existing Site Size = 33.6 acres Estimated Site Size per SFD for 1,273 student Jr High = 22.7 acres Existing Parking = 378 spaces Parking required per SFD = 283 spaces Parking required per City = 581 spaces
Option 1: Addition
Option 2: Construction of New Second Jr. High or Satellite Jr. High Campus Existing Building has an FCI of .12 – Very good building condition, keep it New construction option for a second Junior High School or Satellite Jr. High on BLM site or other location for minimum of 416 students. This option needs to be coordinated with the High School options. (SFD SF calculator for 416 students = 96,844 SF) STEM focus option, Dual Immersion option, IB option, etc., opportunities at the Jr. High level with a second or satellite Jr. High. No disruption at existing Jr. High during construction Requires boundary designations, open enrollment or combination thereof for the two schools – Politics of doing so?
Option 3: Move Jr. High into Existing High School Needs to conform with High School option to construct new High School Existing high school has capacity for 1,401 – will accommodate Jr. High needs Existing high school in very good condition Would require renovation of high school to conform to Jr. High curriculum needs and space relationships Fits with option for new high school by utilizing existing building Concerns expressed with having Jr. High students in the High School building due to number of floor levels, size of building, complexity of building, etc. Concerns expressed with district having to fund operations and maintenance of a significant amount of square footage at this building with district maintenance funds.
Site Plan – High School Site Criteria / Constraints: 20 acres + 1 acre per 100 students 40.18 acres required for 2,018 students Actual acres: 22.9 Parking Requirements: Actual – 404 spaces SFD – 807 spaces City - 1,548 spaces?

Option A: Non-Construction – Not Feasible Maximize the capacity in the existing facility 2013 Enrollment was 1,387 students Building Capacity = 1,401 students Building will be at capacity in 2014 at a projected enrollment of 1,401 students Existing building is fully utilized without right-sizing the CTE spaces Parking & Site size still an issue Surrounding street network will not support more students on campus
Options A: Non-Construction – Not Feasible
Option B: Renovation – Not Feasible Similar to Option 1 – Building will be at capacity by 2014. Renovating any existing spaces will not increase the capacity in the building. Renovation doesn’t increase capacity overall Surrounding street network will not support more students on campus
Option C: Addition to Existing High School – Not Feasible Maximize the capacity in the existing facility 2013 Enrollment was 1,387 students Building Capacity = 1,401 students Building will be at capacity in 2014 at a projected enrollment of 1,401 students Existing Building Size = 317,169 SF Surrounding street network will not support more students on campus No site area to expand parking or building without relocating athletic facilities like football field/track and/or tennis courts Tennis courts involve Federal funding and would require Federal permission to eliminate or relocate.
Option C: Addition to Existing High School ADDITION Design starts in July, 2015 Estimated construction completion in 2018 Target capacity for design is year 2023 (5 years following construction completion) Design Capacity (for year 2023-24) = 2,018 students Building Size for 2,018 students = 338,358 SF Addition Size= 40,108 SF
Option C: Addition to Existing High School SITE Existing Site Size = 22.9 acres Estimated Site Size per SFD for 2,018 student High School = 40.2 acres Existing Parking = 404 spaces Parking required per SFD = 807 spaces Parking required per City = 1,548 spaces Can track and field be relocated to allow more acreage for addition/parking?

Option 1: New Replacement High School on New Site - BLM New comprehensive high school for 2,018 students on new site 338,358 SF high school Existing Building has an FCI of .22 – Good building condition. So what happens to the existing high school if a new facility is constructed on the BLM site? Junior High Campus Satellite High School Campus CTE Campus Does District support a High School at 2,018 students? If not, what are other solutions? New high school would require community bond to provide facilities not funded by SFD if similar facilities and opportunities to the existing high school are provided. Enhancements per SFD need additional funding source – ie: Bond Issue Pool Complex Large CTE spaces Auditorium fly and orchestra pit Etc.
Option 1: New Construction on New Site - BLM SITE BLM Site Size = 60 acres Estimated Site Size per SFD for 2,018 student High School = 40.2 acres Parking required per SFD = 807 spaces Parking required per City = 1,548 spaces (Possibly additional spaces required for public assembly areas where no fixed seats)
Option 1: New Construction on New Site - BLM
338,358 SF HIGH SCHOOL FOR 2,018 STUDENTS (2 STORY)
Option 2: Second Comprehensive High School on new site and keep existing High School Two separate comprehensive high schools in Rock Springs with separate identity and sports teams. They will be approximately 1,000 student schools vs a single comprehensive high school at 2,018 students. Keep existing high school but reduce capacity to approximately 1,000 students – more appropriately sized to size of campus Existing HS would remain active for grades 9-12 Provide same opportunities at both campuses or have them be different? SFD will not fund new pool, will be a smaller auditorium without orchestra pit, etc. with a new building per SFD guidelines – bond required to provide similar facilities to current high school Will community support two high schools?
Option 3: Satellite High School on BLM Site Design new satellite high school on BLM site Existing HS would remain active for grades 9-12 Satellite high school would be part of main school, same sports teams, etc. – Not a second high school, this is a satellite campus. Satellite High School could be focused on education approach such as STEM, International Baccalaureate, Career Academy, etc. Satellite high school attendance could be determined through a combination of boundaries and open enrollment. Transportation Issues for Athletics, Teachers, etc.? Satellite high school campus would be masterplanned to enable future growth into a separate comprehensive high school. Opportunity to co-locate a satellite Jr. High with the High School and have a satellite 7-12 campus with focus on a specific education model like STEM. Buildings could be separate or attached.
