Project Overview

June 17, 2013

The following provides a basic overview of the construction envisioned for the New Walton Middle School in the Historic area south of Lake DeFuniak.

Design Objectives

The project’s overall design objectives are as follows:

• The site will be master planned for a 1,000 student station middle school,.
• The school will contain an area of approximately 126,770 gross square feet. Successful design elements from other projects will be reused.
• The facility may be constructed for 800 student stations, including existing buildings 500 and 900, with space for future classroom additions identified on the Master Plan.
• The middle school Gymnasium will be designed for 750 student capacity, the standard size for middle schools.
• Playfields will include space for football/ soccer, baseball, softball, a jogging trail for PE, a sprint track and other middle school track and field events.
• The bus loop and drives will enter from and exit to from Bruce Avenue, which has been coordinated in a meeting with City and County planners. It is estimated that the school will continue to require 21 buses to transport students to the facility. The bus loop will accommodate 21 buses on the school site, thus removing stacking lanes on public streets.
• The Parent Pick up will also enter from and exit to Bruce Avenue. The site will have extended drives for parents to line up to pick up students.
• Parking for 110 cars will be provided at the front of the school, entering from and exiting to Bruce Avenue. This parking will be adjacent to the gymnasium and to the sports fields. Some additional parking will be provided on the north side of the site.
• All classrooms will be designed to the District’s 21st Century technology standards.
• The construction materials for both schools will be brick over CMU with a standing seam metal roof.
• The District’s original intention was to consider phased construction while the school remains in operation. However, as an option, to ensure safety of the students, and to reduce the cost of construction of the project, consideration will be given to the students and staff may be relocated to the Wise Educational Center during construction of the replacement school.
