Summary: The services of a professional architect are required to provide Educational Specifications and District Standards to enable both district staff and design firms a consistent set of guidelines from which to design, build new, and/or modernize existing school facilities. District standards provide a set of technical specifications for what type(s) of equipment, configuration, and finishes every space in a school need to have in order to deliver high quality learning environments, and Educational Specifications provide a narrative program for how a school facility should perform relative to the program requirements to promote optimum student achievement. For each of the levels of schools, two sites will be used as a guide to the work at each level. The elementary schools that will be used to determine specifications and standards will be Walnut Acres Elementary and Meadow Homes Elementary. The middle schools will be El Dorado Middle and Diablo View Middle. The high schools used will be Concord High and Northgate High. These schools were identified based on the prioritization matrix presented to the board in Spring 2022. After educational specifications and district standards are created, both can be used districtwide at the elementary, middle and high school levels for consistency and clarity.
