In summary, Captain Elementary’s open floor plan, while collaborative in concept, is not conducive for all educational activities or learning for all students. The absence of full height dividing walls on the upper level creates sound transmittance from classroom to classroom. In addition, the lockers and open shelves that divide the space create inconsistent classroom configurations while inadequate teacher storage creates clutter and disrupts the learning environment. Security concerns arise from the open design with it being difficult to secure the building in addition to egress paths to stairwells cutting directly through classroom spaces. Additionally, student restrooms need updates and additional fixtures, and staff restrooms are insufficient. There is a lack of green space for outdoor activities and student wellness. The building lacks dedicated spaces for student support services, such as counseling, and has no capacity for community events. To conclude, the HVAC systems are outdated and need upgrading.
