SITE PLANNING FOR NEW SCHOOL FACILITIESThe final report from RTI/EDI is being used as the design document for subsequent facilities planning activities. Every effort will be made to adhere to the goals and requirements specified in this document. The full report, including a detailed site plan that meets the needs of the school, is available online. A copy may also be borrowed from the CVCS office. UPDATE: Following a six-month hiatus in late 2006, the Facilities Committee resumed regular meetings. The committee focused on two major projects for permanent facilities: the multipurpose "E Pod" and meeting the near-term needs for better classroom facilities. "E Pod" is viewed as the flagship project, to be built using sustainable, energy-efficient designs and materials, which may require fundraising. The plan for the higher-priority classrooms is to use high-quality factory-constructed modular buildings that will be aesthetically appealing and use "green" materials, but which will also be affordable enough to finance through the state's Public School Lease Assistance program and could be in place on a fairly short timescale after that program has been set up. During 2007 and 2008, a number of draft building designs, primarily for the classrooms, were developed by Kent Beierle of EDI Architecture. Further work has since been done on the design for EPod (multipurpose building). Please note these designs are not final, and may evolve before final approval.
At the end of 2007, the New Mexico
Public Schools Facilities Authority
(PSFA, part of the state government) ranked CVCS in 11th place in their
school
facilities priorities list.
Following this excellent news, the committee worked very hard to prepare
plans that were submitted to PSFA for approval, and to make a presentation
to the NM Public Schools Capital Outlay Committee. In
July 2008, we were
notifed that the PSCOC had awarded CVCS $1 million to construct a new
multi-purpose building. Final preparations to begin construction as soon
as all the paperwork has been completed are now underway.
