Renovations and Expansions to Salem High School Exploring a Lower Cost Strategy – November 27, 2017
SLIDE 2 Discussion Agenda
- 1. Brief Overview of Existing Conditions and
Improvement Goals
- 2. Previous Design Concept and Budget
- 3. What if $30M – $35M?...Sobering Statistics
- 4. Proposed Strategy, Alternatives, and Cost
Estimates
- 5. The Impact of Yearly Escalation
SLIDE 3
The Level of Detail Needed at Each Phase
Decisions should move from Big to Small… from Macro to Micro…
SLIDE 4 Existing Site Plan
Second Floor + Extensive Facilities + Excellent Solar Orientation
- Vehicular Challenges
- Limited Expansion Options
SLIDE 5 Existing First Floor Plan
Second Floor First Floor
+ Well Functioning Major Spaces + Recent Renovations in Select Areas
- Poor Circulation, Undersized Classrooms (Inadequate for 21st Century Learning)
- Mechanical / Electrical Systems need a Major Replacement or Upgrade
- Lack of Natural Light
- Aged Finishes and Low Quality Walls

Vital Statistics of Previous Plan (2016)
Total Existing Area: 221,000 SF Total Additions: 75,000 SF Combined Total: 296,000 GSF 211 SF/Pupil based on enrollment of 1400 RENOVATION / ADDITION: $53 M Assumed Built in 2 Major Phases separated by 2-3 years NEW HS (284,000 X $225 - 240.00)/.85 = $75M – $80M Assumed 4% less SF than a Renovation / Expansion RATIO OF RENO / NEW: $53M / $75 - $80M = .67 - .70 Future Sports Complex $12M - $13M

What if the Project Budget = $30M - $35M?
Sobering Statistics from the Study completed in Fall 2016: Phase 1 $26.1M Phase 2 $27.0M Total $53.1M $35M / 53.1M = 66% $30M / 53.1M = 57% Volatile Market Adjustment to 57M? Sitework alone = $4.9M Heating and Cooling System Improvements = $22M Bottom Line? A significantly different approach is needed to work within a range of $30M - $35M…
SLIDE 11 A New Approach…
- 1. Greatly limit the sitework, “we can live with it…”;
- 2. Build the Additions to solve space shortages, to solve
security issues, and to prepare for future renovations;
- 3. Perform strategic renovations on the lower floor;
- 4. Except for select corridor and vertical circulation
improvements, and strategic, life-extending improvements to the HVAC system, leave the second floor classroom area mostly untouched. Total Project: $37.5M (30% reduction from previous plan)

North Addition…now or later? $37.5M v. $32.1M
SLIDE 31 North Addition…now or later?
- Reasons to make it part of Phase 1:
- 1. Beating escalation ($5.4M now v. $6.6M after 7 years)
- 2. Right sizing classrooms / improved environment now
- 3. Promotes more flexibility and opportunity for incremental
improvements of second floor classroom area from cash reserves
- 4. Allows you to test classroom configurations before making a
larger investment
- 5. Shortened construction time
- 6. More tangible results for your Phase 1 investment
- Reason to wait until Phase 2:
- 1. Lower cost for Phase 1
SLIDE 32
- Existing (not including science): 43
- Proposed Plan (North + South Additions): 55*
- If North Addition is not built now: 45
* With proposed plan, more classrooms are right- sized and incremental improvements can occur on the second floor over time
