Suite of Capacity Solutions based on Demand Needs

During the 2012 bond planning process, DPS outlined the suite of capacity solutions to address situations of excess demand These options weigh the cost of different projects versus the level of excess demand, which are based on 5 and 10-year projections for neighborhoods Overview

Solution Options to Address Capacity Issues

  • 10 -

Capacity Type Description Seats Added Total Cost Shared Campus Utilizing excess capacity at existing schools to locate a new program offering Varies by location Less than $1M Modular 1-2 classroom exterior access temporary buildings without plumbing. Can create academic disruptions 50 $0.2M - $0.3M Cottage 4-8 classroom interior access with plumbing. Significantly lower cost than building addition, and more comfortable space than a modular 100 – 150 $1.3M - $2.6M Building Addition Additional wing built on to an existing building. Much longer expected life than a cottage or

  • modular. Not always an option based on location

100 – 250 $2.0M - $7.0M New Elementary School For efficiencies, minimum size should be 450. Prices depend on variety of factors including site development, sizing of common spaces (to allow student age flexibility) 450 – 650 $15M - $25M
