2023年夏天, 奥柏林城市学校开始重新审视他们的设施总体规划,以研究如何解决该地区的下一组设施挑战. 他们与然后Design Architecture (TDA)和Hammond Construction会面,探讨这些计划的第二阶段, 其中包括探索建筑成本, 网站的影响, 国家财政拨款, 以及6-12年级的初步布局. 

总体规划的历史 

Oberlin City Schools first developed a master plan in 2018 概述了替换区内所有K-12年级老化基础设施的优先需求. After thorough assessments of all their school facilities, 规划, 以及与社区成员的接触, 老师, 以及地区工作人员, 制定了一个计划. 


The first phase of this plan included replacing the elementary school, which addressed grades PK-5. 


This was completed in 2021 with the opening of Oberlin's new PK-5 Elementary School. 这个新设施取代了现有的两个, 超大的小学又提供了一种清新, 明亮的, and technologically advanced school for the district's youngest learners. 这所生态友好型学校是由一个附加的太阳能电池板建造的,它提供了学校80%的能源成本,并通过附加的能源仪表板吸引学生. Along with improving the educational environment, the building itself became a learning tool.


Phase 2 was exploring how to address grades 6-12: 半岛体育 and 半岛体育.

流程概述

在2023年的夏天, 地区行政部门的一个小组, 选择董事会成员, 设计和施工专业人员开会讨论了奥伯林设施总体规划第二阶段的各种方案. This included comparing the costs and phasing of building either a new 6-12 school, a 6-8 school with the option of adding future grades, 或者只是一所新的9-12学校. 这些计划的主要目标是确保在新学校建造时,学生可以留在现有的建筑中. 另外, 探索国家资金来源, 其中包括参加俄亥俄州设施建设委员会(OFCC)的快速本地合作计划(ELPP)。. 利用这一计划,如果该地区按照州的指导方针设计和建造学校,就可以从该州获得未来的学分. 


这个团队每两周开一次会, conducting "site fit tests" and performing construction estimations to ensure the plan's viability. 该小组还探讨了当前奥伯林校区如何在交通流通方面支持新建筑, 雨水管理, 以及未来运动场的需求. Finally, they examined different ways to phase construction if a smaller portion was built first.


最终, 在探索了该地区的债券上限之后, 平方英尺需求, 还有新学校所需的设施, 该地区认为,最好的财政和教育计划是集中精力建设一所6-8年级的学校,以便在未来几年扩建.


在整个过程中,社区参与通过教育委员会会议和公开社区会议进行,与会者前来询问有关计划和方法的问题. 

这个计划

该计划的首要目标是确定一种方法来满足该地区的短期和长期需求,同时也是最具成本效益和可实现的解决方案.


在TDA和哈蒙德建筑公司的支持下, 该地区决定新建55幢大楼,000 sf 6-8 middle school while making site improvements was the best solution for the district. 然后, when the additional state credit from the OFCC becomes available, the district can consider using that to finish constructing the 9-12 portion of the building, 使它成为6-12的学校. 


新建筑的初步示意图展示了如何在新建筑建造的同时保持现有学校的运作,并在整个计划实现时支持额外的场地流通和体育设施.
