Maury: Four Proposals For Update

As shown in the image labeled Option A1: Learning Communities Infill, floor areas shaded with red lines are areas of major demolition. These areas are the existing library, media center, locker room area between original buildings and the gym.

Those areas would be filled with new educational spaces. The plan retains and restores the 1910/11 and 1929 buildings.

The site plan adds a new bus loop/loading area, and the playing fields remain in their current general location.

The images labeled construction phasing show how the project would proceed. This option requires a complex timeline. As shown in the image labeled Construction Phasing - Phase 1, construction would commence with building an auxiliary gym and locker room additions first, as well as new bus loop loading area.

Then, as shown in the image labeled Construction Phasing – Phase 2, construction crews would erect a large group of temporary, portable classrooms on the site, and add plumbing and restrooms. To complete restoration and renovations of the existing building under this proposal, between two-thirds and three-quarters of the student population would move to the portable classrooms during construction. Students would remain in portable classrooms approximately two years.

Finally, as shown in the image labeled Construction Phasing – Phase 3, crews would continue demolition and renovation of the southeast quadrant of the school.

Total cost of project including life cycle, maintenance of existing structures and energy costs:

$164 million

 

 

Renovation Option 2: (A5) Learning Communities Addition

As shown in the image labeled Option A5: Learning Communities Addition, the floor areas shaded in red lines on the diagram show major demolition. This demolition removes major sections of the west side of the building, including approximately half of the 1929 building.

Primary drivers of this concept: Restore as much of 1911 and 1929 building as possible and build enough new learning community space in the first phase to avoid using temporary, portable classrooms during the project.

The images labeled (3) 140 student LCs per floor x 4 floors and Option A5 Site Plan – 3D show the proposal to create a three-story commons/atrium that connects the old to the new. The proposal includes a four-story classroom addition and continues the mass of the existing school to the east. It adds a new auxiliary gym, a bus loop, and staff parking. The playing fields remain near their current location.

The images labeled “Phasing” show the construction would proceed with the new classroom addition and bus loop first over the course of two years. Then students would move into the new building, and the year-long renovation and construction on the remaining portion of the project taking place for the last year.

Total cost of project including life cycle, maintenance of existing structures and energy costs:

$180 million

 

New Construction Option One: (B2) Four-story classroom building

New Construction Option One: (B2) Four-story classroom building

This option offers a similar structural mass as the current Maury High School, with 210 student learning centers on each of four floors, as shown in the image labeled Option B2L (2) 210 student LCS per floor x 4 floors.

As shown in the image labeled Option B2 Site Plan – 3D, the proposal includes a new drop off loop for buses. The site configuration frees additional space to include a larger practice field with a non-regulation quarter-mile track, and spectator seating.

The front door is oriented toward the Ghent neighborhood, and adjacent areas offer green and recreational space.

As shown in the images labeled Option B2 Preliminary Construction Phasing – Phase 1 and Phase 2, construction of the new building would take place over two years. The new building would be completed, with the transition of students into the new structure, before any work begins on the existing structure.

In the second phase, the current building would be demolished, and construction completed on the fields and recreational areas.

Cost including demolition:

$158 million

 

New Construction Option Two:  (C1) Six-story classroom building

These images show a proposal for a six-story classroom building. This proposal was created to assess whether creating a taller building for classroom spaces offered more room for additional on-site amenities such as athletic fields and recreation areas.

HBA Architecture concluded that it did not create sufficient space for additional amenities.

A six-story structure cost more. Its construction phasing was similar to that described for Option B2.

Cost including demolition:

$164 million
