The term Master Facilities Plan is defined by the OFCC as the number
and configuration (grade span) of the buildings intended for renovation
or construction and the buildings that are planned for demolition. The
Master Facilities Plan does not include design and architecture work.
Design and architecture work come as a result of a full year of interviewing stakeholders.
Stakeholder interviews drive the look and determine the necessary elements inside the building.
That said, we could pay between $50 and $75K to have “conceptual” designs made.
The inherent problem is, they are conceptual and the actual design may not be as advertised based on the stakeholder conversations held in the design phase.
The simple truth is a layout of the exsiting floor space would help our people communicate more completely the limits of the current layout - as seen by the teachers. Layouts of the existing floor space are supposed to be posted on the walls of public buildings to show the fire exits. If a copy of the existing floor space layout were available to us then copies of the proposed layout could be used in interviews with the teachers. Thus, the needs of the teachers could be presented in a visual manner. The requests for the above existing layout started in Feb. of 2015. As of June 2016, the requests have been ignored. Meanwhile, a BoE workshop in April of 2016 by a professional from Columbus stated that when a large bond issue was to placed before the public then more communication is better than less.
