Exterior

Good
Exterior Structure: Re-seal the building envelope by replacing cracking or missing door, window, and expansion joint caulking as needed. Clean and re-seal the metal exterior panels by checking fasteners and flashings for tightness and seal on the walls, repair or replace as needed.
Good
Foundation: No issues observed.
Fair
Parking/Traffic: Information for the district is found on HS Dashboard.

Good
Exterior/Interior Windows: No issues observed.
Fair
Roof: Visible bubbling, ponding and tears in the single-ply roof system visible. District should resolve issues with drainage and bubbling and replace damaged sections. Due to the age and the extent of the deterioration the district should evaluate replacing the roof system entirely. Remove hazards adjacent to the access hatch ladder and add OSHA approved safety railings. Replace damaged and deteriorated sealants around skylights and replace damaged fasteners and metal edging.

HVAC: HVAC units are in fair condition, but 29 out of the 31 units serving the new section of the elementary school are nearing the end of their useful life cycle. These units account for 146 tons, or 96% of the campuses cooling power. The district should further evaluate each unit and develop a replacement schedule for the next 2-7 years. Test and balance new HVAC units when installed and update duct work and web-based energy management system as needed.

Actions to Improve the Educational Environment

The educational adequacy of the campus is in overall good condition, but enrollment is outpacing the available educational space for programs. Classrooms are past recommended ratios, and specialized spaces are, or will soon be, undersized when the campus is at or near full capacity.
