Lincoln Elementary School Improvements Description of Project Narrative Detailed description / scope of project. The proposed project includes site improvements, major interior renovations, and a small addition. Site improvements include expanding the west parking lot further to north to increase parking (see quantities below). The entry to the west parking lot is being relocated further to the north to increase queuing depth for personal vehicle on the building site. The existing west, south, and east parking lots will be resurfaced, but retain their footprint and circulation patterns. Sidewalks will be expanded to coincide with the expanded west parking lot. Other areas of pedestrian circulation will be improved as required. Interior renovations will include remodeling of specialist settings (media center, special education suite, admin and student support suites), long-term facilities maintenance improvements (replacement of finishes, casework, doors/hardware, ceilings), and major mechanical and electrical system improvements. Mechanical system currently includes rooftop units and ductwork, which will be replaced with interior air handling units. Most, if not all, single and multi-user toilet rooms that do not meet accessibility requirements are scheduled to for remodeling. Small addition (approx. 1,000sf) is required to accommodate the relocated admin suite and associated program needs. The existing northwest entrance will be renovated to function as the primary secure entrance. Hours of Operation Hours of operation will be unchanged. Typical school hours 9:00am – 3:45pm.
