EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Menifee Union School District (MUSD) is strongly committed to renovating the Existing Campus of the Menifee Valley Middle School. In planning this school it will be important to accommodate emerging instructional strategies while creating spaces that can respond and adapt, over time, to the programmatic and instructional needs of students and staff. In renovating this school, the MUSD will provide facilities that are also valued as true community resources and assets. The MUSD Board of Trustees provided specific direction that the planning and design of Menifee Valley Middle School will result in a school that will be uniquely capable to facilitate the instructional and learning goals of local students. A conscious decision was made by the Board that the planning for this school would not necessarily be based upon a previously approved set of plans. To carefully and thoughtfully initiate the planning for this school it has been of critical importance to obtain the input and perspectives of our local educators, instructional support staff and community representatives. To this end, the four-day Menifee Valley Middle School Planning Symposium was successfully completed and included over 100 participants. The Symposium was an excellent opportunity for participants to gain firsthand knowledge about the project’s goals and opportunities while providing individual perspectives to help shape our planning. The success of the symposium was greatly enhanced by the diversity and professional backgrounds of the participants. Planning a large new high school is a very complex process and requires extensive direction from the eventual end-users. Completion of the Symposium was a very successful first step in the planning process for our new high school. The BakerNowicki Design Studio will now process the extensive amount of information and ideas gathered during the Symposium. This information will guide the development of conceptual site and building plan alternatives for review and consideration by the District. Additionally, the District and its design professionals will continue their mutual work with local planning and utility agencies regarding infrastructure needs of the project.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The design symposium was a success in deriving the goals, facts, needs, concepts, and programming due to the direct result of participation from the Menifee Union School District members, community, representatives, teachers, students, and BakerNowicki Design Studio. The work presented in this booklet is a compilation of the ideas and concerns collected from participants. Without the help of these participants, a truly responsive and relevant design cannot be achieved. We thank you all for all your effort and your dedication to education. The success
of this planning process is enhanced by your involvement providing the design team and District the insights needed to create innovative learning environments for future educators and students. We would like to give special acknowledgement to the Executive Team Members of Menifee Union School District for allowing us to use your time and resources to advance this planning effort for your community. Thank you.

THE SYMPOSIUM PROCESS Our design process seeks full involvement and interaction of key project stakeholders. The direct involvement of our clients in the design process provides essential insights and contributes to the development of a shared solution that responds to the vision of our clients and their stakeholders. The Design Symposium includes not only, the four days of planning sessions with Subject Matter Experts, but also a continuing web-based network of ideas. This collaboration network was set up by BakerNowicki Design Studio as a Project-Based Website that allowed for the attendees to monitor on-going design progress and make additional comments following the Design Symposium. The process encompasses four primary areas of exploration, evaluation and envisioning:
GOALS of every client are unique and ultimately define the outcome of a program, facility master plan
BakerNowicki Design Studio | July, 2018
or design problem. These goals are used throughout the process as a constant guide to ensure that the institution’s strategic direction is followed. FACTS refer to the fixed parameters that will influence any final solution. The facts of the project outline the physical features associated with the project site, existing buildings or systems. Some of the facts will also include regulatory, code and zoning issues, as well as regional community issues when applicable. NEEDS refer to issues identified by the user groups involved and Perris Union High School District. This area provides the largest body of information collected and analyzed in pursuit of the client’s stated goals, including the results of departmental surveys. In this Design Symposium the design team set up user group meetings to solicit and confirm detailed space, program and operational needs. The results are documented in this detailed booklet provided. Follow-up interviews and the use of web-based media are also held
for additional clarification and testing of various design concepts. In addition to the user group input, the planning team will make professional evaluations based on prior experience in our assessment of department adjacencies, workflow efficiency and consideration of both short-term and long-term needs. CONCEPTS begin as graphical ideas that illustrate each department’s needs for space, necessary adjacencies, egress and ingress issues, and other factors that affect the operational efficiency of each department. All of the FACTS and NEEDS are combined to create CONCEPTS that respond to the issues identified. The recommended design solution that follows will represent the combined strengths of each of the proposed concepts and supporting rationale. The success of the planning process will be guided by the GOALS discussed at the onset of the project, shaped by the FACTS, driven by the NEEDS, and innovatively resolved through the CONCEPTS.

SYMPOSIUM SUMMARY A series of focus group sessions were arranged and scheduled in advance (schedule on following page) in order to provide Subject Matter Experts (SME) opportunity to provide input specific to their areas of expertise. Initial sessions focused on “thirty thousand foot persepctive� issues, including the nature of the Centers for Applied Learning (CAL) and the identity and purpose of the Small Learning Communities (SLC). Following the large scale vision cast for these major campus
components, time was spent addressing specific needs for each department and entity, including athletics, administration, food service, and maintenance. The last day included site planning discussion, discussed in more detail later in the book. The following pages will provide a summary of the discussions of each session. They will serve as a platform to begin preliminary planning and a more detailed roomby-room programming process.

GOALS
The Menifee Union School District has identified several key objectives for a successful project. The project is a direct result of the immediate addressing of concerns at Meifee Valley Middle School to replace all portables on site with
permanent structures. The District has also identifed a focus for the school for its renovation which is derived directly from ideas from the community. The school focus is a direct response to the desire for Visual and Performing Arts in
the district, as identified through the District’s outreach program called the “Thought Exchange.” This exchange identified key ideas which originate from the community itseld.

FACTS
FACTS
refer to the fixed parameters that will influence any final solution. The facts of the project outline the physical features associated with the project site, existing buildings or systems. Some of the facts will also include regulatory, code and zoning issues, as well as regional community issues when applicable. Many of the facts listed in the following pages address concerns related to the proposed site, its selection,
climate, traffic, zoning, utilities, and other quantifiable site data. Due to the undeveloped nature of the site and surrounding context, many of the facts balance both current and future conditions. The emphasis of future plans was a consistent theme during the symposium, as the campus and community has stated desires for growth. Future development and local governance are expected to substantially change the local landscape within the campus’ early lifespan. The executive team and design team therefore took
an inclusive and forward thinking approach with the symposium process by inviting community members to share in defining current and future plans and goals for the city. The undeveloped state of the site and surrounding community will also require coordination between the city of Menifee, MUSD, and local developers to create common infrastructure and share the cost burden.

HISTORY OF MENIFEE
The area was originally inhabited by the LuiseĂąo Indians, primarily the Pechanga and Soboba bands. In the 18th century, the area fell under Spanish rule and was ceded by Mexico to the United States in 1850 as a result of the Mexican-American War. Farming, which began in the mid19th century, was concentrated in
BakerNowicki Design Studio | July, 2018
the Menifee area. Mining began in the early 1880s with the discovery of a significant quartz lode by miner Luther Menifee Wilson, from which Menifee derived its name. Early development of the Menifee area began with Sun City in the early 1960s as the concept of an active retirement community envisioned by Del Webb, a building contractor from Phoenix, Arizona. Webb also
imagery provided by Menifee Valley Historical Association
developed Sun City, Arizona under the same concept. Sun City is a centrally located neighborhood within Menifee with a mix of residential and commercial activity. The Menifee area later grew during the late 1980s and into the early 1990s as a master-planned community. However, lack of resources such as industry-oriented
occupations and high-density retail and commercial businesses has made many residents drive longer distances to nearby cities such as Temecula or Murrieta, to shop, dine, and work. There has been substantial growth in Menifee with new home construction with large lakes, and fine amenities have attracted many residents from the Inland Empire and Los Angeles to live.
On June 3, 2008, the residents of the communities encompassing the Menifee area voted to incorporate together to form Riverside County’s 26th city. The new City of Menifee was officially established on October 1, 2008

SEWER POINT OF CONNECTION
SITE DESCRIPTION
The School site consists of two parcels of property owned by the District. The Middle School consists of a 19.4 acre property with existing developments on site. The adjacent property is a 13.8 acre decomissioned elementary school which has be re-purposed for District Maintenance. Both parcels are located on the south side of Garbani Road. The city of Menifee lies roughly 32 miles from the ocean.
UTILITIES
Due to the age of the campus and lack of surrounding development, the campus is currenty supported by a Septic System with a leach field located in the play field area. This leach field is located ABOVE the buildings, requiring sewage to be pumped up to the leach field level. This system presents a number of air quality and maintenance concerns for the site and district. As a component of future projects, the district is evaluating connecting to a new sewer line located due east of the project site. The diagram to the left indicates the site and the proposed point of connection.
CLIMATE
Menifee is listed as a Mediterranean climate or Dry-Summer Subtropical. As a city Menifee experiences 263 sunshine days and only 35 days with measurable precipitation annually. The period of April through November is warm to hot and dry with average high temperatures of 83 - 101°F and lows of 32 - 50°F, though in the summer, temperatures can easily reach above 100, and occasionally above 105. The period of November through March is somewhat rainy. At times, during the Winter, large dust storms start to form due to the large mass of humidity, and low, and flat land that is there. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Menifee,_California)
Daytime, heat absorbed
VEHICULAR CONGESTION
The current street improvements on Garbani include only half the proposed street improvements for the roadway. The remaining improvements will not be completed until the adjacent property is developed. This lack of street width is likely the primary cause of current vehicular congestion on site. The architects will be reviewing othere onsite options for releiving congestion for drop off and pickup with proposed site plans later in this document.
Nightime, heat radiated.
SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES
Based upon local climatic data, viable passive sustainable strategies include the following options to be explored during design:
LOCAL ZONING
• • • •
Natural Ventilation Evaporative Cooling High Thermal Mass Night Time Ventilation of Thermal Mass • Fan Forced Ventilated Cooling • Sun Shading • Wind Powered Ventilation
Current zoning indicates that the site is surrounded by residential zoning, General density is low, however, many adjacent properties are expected to be developed into single family housing developments.

NEEDS NEEDS
refer to issues identified by the user groups involved and Perris Union High School District. This area provides the largest body of information collected and analyzed in pursuit of the client’s stated goals. For the purposes of this symposium, two main goals were set for the time. Both respond to the extensive work already produced by the district in the Educational Specifications. The goals were as follows: 1. Create a fuller understanding and vision of the identity of less defined elements (such as CALs and SLCs) 2. Test and refine the stated needs
of the Educational Specifications. In both goals, the symposium process was successful. A consensus and understanding of the CALs, the SLCs, and their relationship to other campus was produced. And, in most regards, the needs as stated in the Educational Specifications were confirmed. The following pages are intended to supplement the Educational Specification as revisions, supplements, and additions to the needs as stated in the educational specifications. The information presented in the following pages has been carefully filtered to function as clarifying
information for the educational specifications. The process of collecting needs is not yet complete, however. A detailed programming phase, including additional user interviews, questionnaires and meetings will be required to obtain all necessary information for design. Yet, while the specifics of each space are not yet known, the overall goals of each department and group are clearly established herein.

Menifee Valley Middle School | Symposium | 29
3.1 ADMINISTRATION
ADMINISTRATION
• Student flow is an issue – it is overcrowded and there is not enough privacy. • Students requiring discipline need to be separated from other student services in Admin • Students and staff all enter at the same point, a separate entrance for staff could be helpful. • ASB/Discipline/Health/Principal are all in one place, too much overlap • ASB and Site Secretary are the same person – they interface daily and work closely with the Principal, VP, and admin staff and need to stay in this area. • Outside access and space for students at ASB is needed • ASB needs storage space near office for larger items, i.e. stock boxes of student gym clothes, agendas and other items sold at student store • Admin and attendee office sizes are sufficient. The use requires walk-ups windows to exterior (existing) • Office spaces large enough, just too close to each other, too concentrated. • Teacher work room/ lunch room/ prep room/ copy room is too small • Intercom system is out dated (Rauland) and whole campus system should be replaced rather than putting new tech over old tech.
HEALTH
• Biggest issue – fields causing sprained ankles, new track and leveling of fields • Uneven paths not safe/stable to transport students on gurneys • Good space in office, just no privacy, discipline students sit right outside
BakerNowicki Design Studio | July, 2018
COUNSELING
• Currently no auditory privacy between counselor’s office and psyc. office • 2nd counselor’s office located in another building, these should be all together • Counselor’s office is a little small
FOOD SERVICE
• Recent addition of “speed lines” greatly improved conditions • Desires fast flow to breakfast area in morning • Cueing can be a little tight, especially when MPR is in use • Currently no room for salad service • 2 lunch sessions 500-600 students total, currently ability to serve students is adequate • Supervision required during cueing • Storage warehouse is next door. Would prefer office to remain on campus if possible, if needed could move next door.
CAMPUS SECURITY & SAFETY
• Back field difficult to supervise, fence is probably not high enough • Students tend to congregate after hours at N/E corner where they are not easily seen. Possibly waiting for rides, might be high schoolers • Closed circuit video surveillance exists on campus, currently have 6 cameras, system is outdated, grainy, need upgrading • District currently going through upgrades of this system • Parking lot is not visible to Admin staff, no ability to supervise from lobby desk • Visibility at point of entry is desired
PLUMBING
• Plumbing issues under admin building • Floor drains do not drain and tend to back up • Existing sewer has no slope, maybe due to settling
OTHER
• Maximize site utilization/efficiency and make security a priority
Menifee Valley Middle School | Symposium | 31
3.2 CORE CURRICULUM
GENERAL
• Teachers work together, “Teaching partner” (said by 8th grade language arts teacher). Team teaching • Teachers need flexible space for teaming of two classrooms - 70 kids in a double classroom. • Collaboration per grade level, can be difficult to schedule • Language Arts and Social Science team teach on occasion. • Collaboration space is free space that can be used by all teachers. Not a home room or scheduled for teaching sections. • Operable wall between teachers/ classrooms of the same subject/ grade • Must have sound-proofing in collapsible walls • Common areas become storage if not planned well. • Teacher planning area wanted/needed. • Collaboration and maker space per grade level, two each per grade level. • School is clustered in ages/ grades. • Prefer grades grouping first and then by department • 2.5 teachers per grade level, some groups have 3 teachers • Roughly 1200 students • 3 grades, 6th/7th/8th • Roughly 400 students per grade • Roughly 15 teaching stations per grade • Team teach across different classes
CLASSROOMS
• Current size of classrooms seem small. Some teaching stations on campus are • Teacher’s “Reading program” has caught on fire built in bookcases in classrooms would be great! • Built in storage/ material storage/ very limited storage currently. Storage areas for classrooms BakerNowicki Design Studio | July, 2018

•
need not be inside the classroom. Maybe a larger common storage can be provided, leaving more space for instruction in the classrooms. More whiteboard space / more teaching space needed. Entire walls of white boards and tackable walls – Walltalker wall covering is an option. Multiple projectors/ monitors - allow the students to project - televisions for student projection Classroom use for core curriculum may vary. Classrooms need to be flexible to accommodate all subjects for scheduling. More wireless technology/ teachers complain of tripping over wires daily. 1 place in the classroom for hard-wiring internet connection and one projector location Would like to allow the teacher to redesign the classroom as they want throughout the year - move the teachers area seasonally perhaps – near the window in winter/away from it in the summer, for example. • Teacher’s desk - something that is flexible, want to be able to have hard-wired location but want to be able to move around depending on the classroom Teacher Planning/Professional space designed for adult collaboration - 3 or 4 on campus/ • use for parent teacher conferences • IEP meetings • Staff collaboration rooms • professional center table v. Desks/ flexible seating, classroom seating: • one teacher has round tables, square tables, bar height tables, couches, bean bag chairs all in her classroom. She thinks groups of 4 work well. • Tables preferred over single desks Collaboration rooms adjacent to classrooms - possibly send some students out as long as they can be seen
• really like natural light - like that classrooms exit to the exterior • control the natural light in order to show video - show videos in most classes • outlets around room • exterior space • can feel like the campus is too open right now – kids have this apparent freedom and are noisy because of it • Outdoor space should be more defined • Reading areas/ study pods • Congregate areas • Huge open area leads to explosive noises • Sinks in classrooms - want them! At least nearby, or in close proximity. • Microphones in the classrooms/ voice amplification • Special ed: • enjoys a lot of little spaces. • have Group work & Individual • calm down area necessary • have had toilets in the past (nice to have) with sinks – • daily living skills - want but don’t have • Classroom should not have a “front” projection on one wall, tv on another… • Keeps students’ attention when the teacher is in motion around the room. • want to be able to accommodate moderate/ severe. This school tends to have mild/ moderate, with some that could possibly be upgraded to mod/severe.

3.3 BUILDING & SITE DEVELOPMENT
EXISTING CONDITIONS • • •
• • • • •
• • •
Student population by Grade Level fluctuates year to year. Current configuration on campus is grouped by Grade level, not by Department. The location on the leach fields for the septic system need to be mapped. Parents will park across Garbani and wait for their students to cross to get to their parents. On-site queuing is insufficient at Day’s end to handle the number of cars. Site has no Electronic Marquis currently Garbani is currently only at half width improvement. Once complete there will be shoulder for parents to park on remaining. Science Classrooms are remote from all other academics. Locker Rooms are too far from Gym. The County facility has a schedule that is different from MVMS. Due to the location of the facility, access to the facility is difficult and in a central location on MVMS. Archery is part of the current PE program. Campus has sufficient parking for day-today use; but is not enough for events. Hardcourts are separated from Gym area and Lunch area by buildings. Hard to supervise and manage at Lunch.
BakerNowicki Design Studio | July, 2018
CONCEPTS
• Can the County facility be moved, relocated onsite? The building is owned by the County but an alternate facility with better access and greater autonomy maybe considered viable for the county. • Can Locker Rooms be relocated to the existing 200 building along with County facility? • Can Parking be expanded at front of campus near relocatable classrooms? • Can an outdoor performance space be created to accommodate approximately 1000 students for large VAPA programs? • Classrooms should have sinks and voice amplification. • Interior circulation for classroom buildings may provide better access and use between Classrooms, Maker and Collaborations spaces. • Currently the MVMS campus does not have facilities for Mod/Sever Special Ed students. This may want to be included in the new academic buildings. There are students in the area that would then be able to attend MVMS. • There should be at least one Collaborations Spaces per grade level. • Special Ed Rooms should be designed with smaller areas/spaces within each room to best serve small groups or individual students.
Menifee Valley Middle School | Symposium | 35
3.4 LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER
EXISTING CONDITIONS
• What are typical problem areas in the current library? • Storage is not close to library- store textbooks, stem kits, teacher resources, • share storage with resource • text books — always will have books and materials • Hands on things need storage • Hard copy will be there, things will always be stored - boxes of stuff • Managing resources for all the different departments - accountable for all • 45 tubs of Rubbermaid storage bins, the size of 2 file cabinets/ small laundry basket • Have a central checkout area for materials – • Dances and ASB events and ticket sales occur within library. • Don’t need ASB checkout • Windows can cause distractions from other students walking by/making faces. • Desk space – currently, there’s not enough space for ongoing projects for staff - library tech has duties that are one on one and also long term projects • Library tech – checks out books and is the resource for students • Library is underutilized - difficult to move through, cramped • Hard wired computer lab - want to open it up for chrome book use • Device cart for checking out technology mobile cart for TVs all have WiFi/ smart TVs • The kids are just loud - becoming less academic, want the library to be quiet – we have kids that want to get away. • Every computer is full every time its open. 32 computers PCs – support staff/ aids use them too • Sometimes 2 teachers want to use the space, BakerNowicki Design Studio | July, 2018
sometimes it wants to be quiet space sometimes it wants to be louder space. How can that be balanced? • Teachers may want to use at the same time
CONCEPTS/NEEDS
• Want flexible seating • Want collaboration space, to encourage specific learning, separate and smaller groups, possibly use project rooms • collaborative research project - 8 groups of 4 • Want moveable mobile projectors, more than 1 • Want less restrictive space - can adjust the space as technology changes • Want flexible bookcases, so they can create space that works for diverse types of activities • Must have visibility - easily supervised space & open, • Collaboration rooms need to accommodate more than one classroom • Library accommodate up to 70 students large/medium/ small breakout spaces • Move around flat screen TVs • Pair of classrooms with an operable wall – • Training for staff • District training location • Aspects of the library collaboration spaces: • Acoustics • need additional lighting/ windows? Have adequate windows/ lighting – • Further back into the library it is a little dim. • Can apply a film on windows to obscure vision but still allow light in. • Power at various locations in the floor - where do I plug in/ recharge? • Want library to be more used, like a gathering space, like Starbucks • Possibly entice kids to gather by including an “Eagle stop” within – a place to buy school
• • • • • • • • • • • • •
goods and promote internal fundraising. • Balance food/drinks with the fact that there’s technology and stuff that can’t get dirty Librarian believes in a small collection, with high quality books - keeping content relevant Lighting is critical PBIS - positive behavior intervention support (aka, “be nice to kids”) A spot where a kid can stop and read and still feel like they are not completely isolated from what’s going on outside Close in the exterior space with columns, create a patio area, move through something that is an exterior/ interior space Attraction area / library space is traditionally quiet. See library as something that is either quiet or loud Acoustics are an important consideration for keeping the library quiet. What about a second story and outdoor space? - gives us the additional space and would differentiate between loud and quiet spaces Place to provide support - intervention spaces Have had different library techs louder this year than most MAKER SPACE - what did they mean? • Workbenches and tools - actually make things Flexible furniture / mobile
Menifee Valley Middle School | Symposium | 37
3.5 SCIENCE
SCIENCE
• Integrated program – life, physical, earth, adding Bio-medical to prepare for HS programs • Existing facilities include 2 “labs” classrooms somewhat converted and used as lab space • Would like 9 labs, 3 per grade level, flexible use spaces for hybrid instruction • Would like central pod, maybe one per grade level or grouped by materials, shared storage, materials, collaborative teaching prep. • Eyewash • Floor Drains • Refrigerator and Ice Maker • Shared prep room • Dishwasher • Fume hoods probably not needed • Want perimeter counter with sinks and moveable 2 person tables: • Keep sinks • sinks are ridiculously small and water goes everywhere • Have 7 sinks - need bigger and wider sinks • Like chemical resistant tops, easily cleaned surfaces • Gas hooks up not part of current curriculum, but may be included to for potential future use • Spaces should be flexible, no stationary teaching tables or desks • Earth Science • Physical Science • Life Science • Different types of storage needed, open shelves for projects, space for larger projects, currently no space to store projects and they take up workspace • Less uppers, maintain some wall space • Sinks should be larger than what is currently provided • More work spaces, moveable standing project tables to allow for variety of group sizes BakerNowicki Design Studio | July, 2018
• Like how Heritage HS has a roll up door that allows for indoor outdoor flow, extending classroom outside • Outdoor lab space - Garden area for botany • Roll-Up Doors allowing classroom/ lab expansion into outdoors • Adequate electrical power (current spaces lack), retractable ceiling outlets • Many teachers are multi credentials and teach science and math, often in same classroom. Consider integration of Science and Engineering
STEAM & CTE
• Hands on collaborative teaching spaces • Storage in CR for specific lesson, other storage attached too but separate from CR • Common area – collaborative teacher hub for shared storage and materials, grouped by subject matter, shared space, shared expertise • Phenolic tops, easily cleaned surfaces, concrete floors • FLEXIBILITY! • Industrial, wet lab, indoor outdoor flow. • Open Shelving for student project storage. • Science should be together, creates a science mindset, better than by grade • When science teachers are closer in proximity they are more likely to collaborate • Potential to collaborate across disciplines if space is provided, currently distance between departments makes this challenging • 2 CR in one space, co-teaching • Do not want to be locked to one teaching wall • Potential of different programs: • Engineering, • Woodworking, • Robotics, • Mechanics, • Art, Film/Green Screen Production, • General Design and Construction.
Menifee Valley Middle School | Symposium | 39
3.6 PE & ATHLETICS
EXISTING CONDITIONS
• Locker room should be adjacent to gym, already lose time changing clothes, distance is an issue during inclement weather. Also distance from Gym to hardcourts. • Flooding between gym and locker room • Septic issues in gym, terrible smells in gym and locker room, storage room • Locker room is underutilized, half of room is empty, number of lockers is not adequate • Currently have 648 box lockers 1’x’1’x1’, 6’ H on curb in each LR, each student assigned locker, 700 - 750 desired • Backpacks don’t have a home, sit in pile, students don’t tend to mess with them. Street lockers or cubbies could provide place for bags • No public access to fields • Campus does not have a weight room. • 4 existing showers not used • Supervision can be a challenge in LR and at gym entrance, moment when students can’t be seen • 5-8 teachers, 45 students per teacher • Currently scattered around campus facilities include: • 960 sf storage • Fitness center with stationary cardio equipment – treadmills, rowing machine, stair climber • (2) PE instruction classrooms
BakerNowicki Design Studio | July, 2018
CONCEPTS/NEEDS
• Since fields are raised they can be hard to supervise, ideally fields would be graded/leveled • Currently have 6 courts, hardscape/ courts preferred over grassy fields • Would like large doors, possibly roll up leading out of gym, current roll up door on side of gym is useless • Would like real handball courts, 3 walls, existing courts too small • Currently only makeshift tennis courts, would like to be able to teach tennis • Obstacle course could be outdoor circuit training • Full size fields not needed • Laundry facilities- currently only in girl’s LR. Ideally would have one in each LR or centrally outside, between LR could work • Would like fitness center with 50 spin bikes over cardio equipment, concrete floors, ~1600 sf, all-purpose space, flexible, moveable dividers could transform fitness center to CR • ¼ mile track needed • Space for teaching gender separated sex-ed. Could provide in LR - Teaching wall and AV • If existing LR building is kept could become the fitness center and classroom space • Storage space should be easily accessed by exterior, provide large doors possibly roll up since double doors not large enough for things like archery targets • Keep PE spaces near each other cut down on transition time • After hours gym and fields are used by public, campus should be able to be secured after hours, currently it is not • Separate parking lots for parents and teachers, teachers have had their cars vandalized by parents • Suggestion for interim housing – swing students over to adjacent elementary school, even just 1 or 2 grades, do not want to lose their courts

TYPES OF PROGRAMS • Band (180 ADA) • Choir (200 ADA) • Painting
PROGRAMS STAFF WANTS INCLUDED • • • • • •
Drama (currently after school ‘club’ program) Stage/Set Design Ceramics Dance Jazz band Visual Graphics
VISUAL ARTS (VA)
• Art & Digital Graphics are currently taught in Single CR’s that are too small. • Need larger space to combine Drawing/ Painting/Computer graphics. • Need Separate room for Ceramics • Create two flexible maker spaces for variety of programs and activities • 5 Maker labs would accommodate the existing Art and Science program • Co-Locate Art/CTE labs to share resources • Video Production: Flexible open room preferred. • Outdoor learning spaces, observable from CR’ window. • Separate but central supply room preferred, shared by all art teachers. Too many cabinets within the classroom obstructs the ability to display students work. • Would like an area to display art projects publicly and within the classrooms.

3.7 EOC DEBRIEF
SITE & BUILDING DEVELOPMENT
• Currently campus laid out in grade level configuration. • Elementary school next door is decertified, not currently possible to house students there. • Phasing during construction will need to be considered. • BNds will review potential connection to sewer system to discontinue use of the existing, pumped, septic system. • 19 acres - based on CDE recommendations for this size campus (1200 students) • Superintendent asked about the costs of 2 story building vs 1 story of similar size. • Gain efficiency of building systems with 2 stories • Additional cost of structural system with 2 story. • Additional costs of vertical circulation. • Site development benefits of smaller building footprints, less site used. • Instructional benefits of making teaching stations more proximate. • Multi-story buildings more energy efficient with less exterior building envelope • Flip flop the parking lot could be considered - put it in the back? • Get people out of cars as soon as possible to improve site safety by locating parking in front. Also improved site access control allowing better admin supervision of parking and drives. (Jon) • Enrollment will be capped by boundary adjustments
INSTRUCTION
• Campus does not have a running track. • No space for PE instruction (one portable is too small)
BakerNowicki Design Studio | July, 2018
INSTRUCTION
• Unassigned collaboration space would help the promotion of project based learning and multi-disciplinary approach to teaching • Storage and staging area needed for distribution of materials at Library • Some schools are considering making library space flex use only
FOOD SERVICE
• Lunch sessions do not overlap, the classrooms near the queuing area are impacted by the noise of the kids queued. • Student dissatisfied with food here, however, the same food is served at every school and other campuses have differing responses.
SPECIAL ED
• Makes sense using mild/mod and having a mod/ severe room. Superintendent says yes we should have a mod/severe room
VAPA
• Performance Space: warm up rooms on the side, and a place for kids to prepare for theatre shows • Back of house functions are needed. • Set Design using CNC machine can bridge between VAPA and CTE programs. Program spaces not currently provided.
Menifee Valley Middle School | Symposium | 45
4.1 SITE PLANNING
SITE DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS
• Presentation of 3 Site Development Options • Presented whole campus solutions that can govern development beyond the range of what is designed in the immediate future. • All Schemes presented assume a twostory solution due to site utilization. • Reviewed Small Learning Community (SLC) Adjacency Diagram – translating stated goals from Symposium Meetings into “bubble” diagram. Shows VAPA, Maker Space, and Collaboration space around a centralized entry and outdoor spaces. • Collaboration group discussion: Multiple scales of collaboration desired. Large group space desired for 60 students. Smaller groups also desirable, can function outdoor or in indoor corridor space. • CTE is a developing focus in the district, including auto, biotech, etc. EOC members communicated a desire for ‘flex’ or ‘wet’ labs that can be used in a diverse set of conditions or purposes. • Reviewed Diagram comparison of string plan to finger plan/pods.
COUNTY BUILDING RELOCATION
Discussed options with context of potentially relocating the county building and/or the locker room building. • Open to considering relocation of both locker room and the county building. District to Explore Options with County for potential relocation of the Special Education Program. • BS: County Special Ed Facility should be referred to as County Building in all future presentations.
BakerNowicki Design Studio | July, 2018
FEEDBACK
• Ed Resnick • Option 3 most desirable for the following reasons • Academics are localized • Collaboration and VAPA are integrated into each Small Learning Community / Grade Level • PE Adjacencies are good, but are not considered critical • County Building is adjacent to Parking, which is superior to what they have now. • Likes the expansion of the parking for staff use as identified in Option 2. Believes this would decrease parking lot congestion during pickup/drop-off. • For discussion of phased construction and adjacency of Grade Level Communities: Grades 7 and 8 should be adjacent to one another. Grade 6 does not need to be paired or immediately adjacent to grade 7 but should still be close. • Exterior spaces in the quad should be subdivided to provide separate, distinct zones for each grade level. • Supports idea of providing gathering space immediately adjacent to Grade Level Community Entrance at Buildings. • Believes the existing commons is too big. Desires more consolidation or sub-division. A smaller, more intimate quad would be more desirable, more easily supervised. Important for kids not to have “too much room.” • VAPA/MPR consolidation in center is desirable because its ability to assist in subdividing and consolidating the quad/commons. • Shown a picture of the subdivision strategy
employed at Murrieta Mesa High School Quad design, and approved of use of similar strategy, though at smaller scale. • Liked idea of loud, socialization end of quad near the lunch shelter and Gym spaces, while quieter, Academic end of the quad adjacent to classroom buildings. • Dennis Regus • Agrees with Ed on most points, with following additional comments. • Option 3 is preferred, though would prefer library to be more centralized within the academic wings • Believes that Collaboration Spaces, as requested by educators, should be provided. • Brue Shaw • Option 3 blocks view of fields. Provided Sketch (attached) that suggests reorientation of buildings to a northsouth axis to increase supervision. • Expressed concern that collaboration spaces, when provided, are not used within a year of occupancy, and should not be provided. Not an opinion shared by the educators. • Original Plan for Campus Development: Portable Replacement, anything extra is “cake.” • Sewer connection should be priority and should include adjacent district owned property if possible. • Recommends that County Building should remain, and prefers parking be added on the east portion of campus to provide bus access (as shown in several of the schemes). • Supports relocation of lockers and hardcourts to behind the gym. • Believes that Lunch Shelter to remain because of history and effort required to install it, as well as wasting original
expense. Original cost was $250,000. • Doesn’t favor gardens
CONSENSUS
• Consensus was a preference for options 3, with elements of 2, or a hybrid thereof. Option 2 is preferred if county building is to remain. • PE should be consolidated adjacent to Gymnasium, inclusive of Lockers, PE Classroom, and Hardcourts. • Academics should be consolidated but building orientation should be set to maximize site lines for supervision. • District to explore options for relocating County Special Education, but East Parking Access is desirable if this is not possible. • Providing Amphitheater is desirable in courtyard if possible. Should be sized to 1000 occupants, for the purposes of full campus gatherings
GENERAL ITEMS
• Site Walk of Hans Christiansen Middle School Scheduled for 6/28/2018 with Dennis Regus, Brian Leonard, and Richard Nowicki. • Tour of Design 39 Campus in Poway scheduled for July 18th. Brian Leonard to send an invitation to the EOC. • Access controls are likely to be included in the project scope. • Site Wide Security Cameras likely to be included in project scope, with potential Police Department integration (though no current local P.D.) • No construction manager has been selected for the project yet, and the selection process may be restarted from beginning.

ABOUT THE ARCHITECTS
We design spaces for students and educators. It’s what we do. One of our foremost goals is to design facilities that provide memorable and positive experiences so that future generations have the opportunity to become effective citizens and leaders. We’re inspired by educators that model to their students what it means to dream. We do our
part by helping to make our client educators’ dreams for education a reality. We do this by partnering in the exploration of trends in education, collaboration, and technology. We know that often times the best ideas only come to light when we listen. We also recognize that schools are community centers with wonderfully complex needs and exciting opportunities. We recognize that the schools we design will have a lasting presence and impact in the
communities that that they call home. Therefore, we are careful to be diligent as architects to make sure each project meets its objective by exercising strong leadership and management of budget, cost and schedule. The symposium process continues to be an exciting opportunity to dream big and invest in the future of your community. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to partner with you in this process!
