Conditional Assessment (Overall Suitability: 68%)


Conditional Assessment Summary of Needs

  • Site:  Items that scored poorly include size of site, lawn/landscaping, site directional signage, site perimeter fencing, dumpster area, drive and lot asphalt, building steps/rail/ramp.
  • Architectural:  The building exterior is combination of brick, EIFS, painted CMU and metal. Some minor cracks in brick and peeling paint on CMU.  Windows vary from aluminum storefront at front to vinyl windows on side elevations and in general are in good condition.  Exterior doors other than entry door are hollow metal and in poor condition.  Roof skylight at lobby is nice but electric shade does not operate.  Roof is metal roof with perimeter gutters/downspouts.
  • Interiors:  The building's finishes are in great shape. It appears that the CPT & LVT have been recently updated throughout. The furniture and casework appear updated as well, except for the restrooms. The visual display and roller shades are in good condition. In the warehouses, flooring and walls are in good condition. The maintenance area has typical flooring wear and tear for that type of space.
  • Mechanical:  The Offices and Maintenance Shop are heated and cooled by gas-fired split systems that are in good condition. The Six prop unit heaters in the warehouse, along with the exhaust fan, are in fair condition. Exhaust fans are in fair condition and the Data room cooling split system is in fair condition.
    • HVAC Controls:  Andover Infinity controls are abandoned that once controlled the furnaces that heat / cool the offices.  The furnaces are now controlled from residential style thermostats.  The remainder of the building is controlled with line voltage stats for heaters, and stand-alone mini-split thermostats.
  • Electrical:  Distribution equipment in good condition (20 years old); fire alarm system (2006) is in poor condition 2006 and should be replaced; receptacle density appears adequate; interior lighting is mostly flat panels, some compact fluorescent; dimming associated with LED locations; unsure if exterior building lights has retrofits; no automatic interior lighting controls; exterior lighting has BMS controls
  • Plumbing:  The domestic water service entrance is in good condition. The PEX piping throughout the building is not insulated and has numerous pipe sags because the pipe is not properly supported. The domestic water piping needs to be insulated to avoid condensation forming on the cold-water piping and heat loss in the hot water and hot water recirculation piping. Additional pipe supports need to be installed to remove the pipe sags. The water heaters in the building are in good condition. The plumbing fixtures are in fair to good condition. Numerous lavatories in the restrooms are missing protective pipe covering. The pipe covering should be installed to avoid scalding. The exterior gas piping shows moderate corrosion. The corrosion should be removed, and the gas pipe painted with protective paint
  • Technology:   
    • No electronic door monitoring.  Staff walk around building at day’s end to check doors. 
    • Video surveillance. A lot of blind spots around the exterior of the buildings.
    • Classroom A/V. In working condition but getting dated.  They are planning projects to update.

Take the Survey – District Feedback on Facilities

Image
New Albany Floyd County Schools (NAFCS) is working with Schmidt Associates, Inc. to prepare a 10-year Master Plan for the district. The Master Plan will primarily focus on facility needs based on a conditional assessment and space utilization review of all buildings. The conditional assessment considers the conditions of all systems for each building; architectural, interiors, furniture, site, MEP, and technology. The space utilization study considers student population, number of staff, and square footage of each building, along with programs offered or building use, to determine short and long-term needs for each building in order to meet the needs of the community, district, and staff, while delivering the best learning opportunities for all students.   The purpose of this survey is to gather additional information from citizens within the NAFCS district to help toward the master planning effort. Please take a few minutes and fill out the form to help us get a more complete pict...
