• The systems are in very good

condition including the piping, pumps, and boiler.

• A backdraft damper was not installed

at the stage exhaust system, whenever the unit is not operating

• utside air blows into the space
• Water is pumped to the Middle

School where it is treated and pumped back to the Intermediate School, causing low pressure problems

Building Analysis - MEP ELCO School District

SLIDE 22

ELCO IS (Grades 3-5)

• It was noted that the main stage is

used primarily for band as the current music room is too small to function properly for that activity.

• Spaces for Small Group Instruction

are centrally located to the classrooms and do not have walls. It was noted that the spaces might function better with walls and the possibility of creating two smaller spaces from one large SGI was also discussed.

SLIDE 27

ELCO MS (Grades 6-8)

• We recommend that the domestic

water systems undergo a complete upgrade as part of any renovation project

• Water coolers are not ADA compliant
• Majority of the drainage system is

likely to be original from 1972 + at the end of its typical life cycle. If any drainage piping will remain as part of any major renovation it should be water jetted and scoped with a camera to identify problem areas.

Building Analysis - MEP ELCO School District

SLIDE 28

ELCO MS (Grades 6-8)

• Limited Small Group Instruction
• Forum could function as a Large

Group Instruction, but amphitheater seating is not ideal
