Lewis-Palmer School District 38 Security Vestibule Renderings Capital Recovery and Reinvestment Program

As a part of Lewis-Palmer School District’s capital recovery and reinvestment program with Schneider Electric, there will be several Security Vestibule and Wall installations constructed across 3 of the school sites starting this Summer. Below are descriptions and renderings of the vestibules and walls, and construction is planned to kick off the week of July 5th, 2021.

Installation of Security Vestibules

Security vestibules will be added where they are missing today. At Bear Creek Elementary School and Prairie Winds Elementary School, the vestibules will close off a portion of the space at the entrance and force all visitors into an enclosed space where access decisions will be made. At Lewis-Palmer Elementary, the vestibule will be built out from the current front door and enclose new space with a new exterior for the building. The receptionist will move from their current location to a new workspace constructed where the front benches are today. Each project will include the necessary equipment movement required to meet permitting requirements and to provide for the security needs to prevent access. This will include security access controls matching the exterior doors and filmed glass. All doors will be designed for egress in accordance with standard building codes.

Bear Creek Elementary School – Security Vestibule An L-shaped vestibule will be installed at the main entrance, sending all visitors who cannot access the building with their own access badge to the left-most exterior door next to the main office. The current visitor check in office and attendance office will swap locations to accommodate this change (the District will be wholly responsible for making this operational/seating change). The new visitor check-in office window will include a full see through/pass through “movie-theatre style” window to exchange information with guests while still preventing access to the office. The L-shaped vestibule keeps the majority of the corridor width open for the school to use. The glass walls will extend to the soffit height but will be open above. The visualization below is a 3D representation from an interior perspective of what the new vestibule will look like.

Prairie Winds Elementary – Security Vestibule Similar to the Bear Creek Elementary vestibule, the Prairie Winds Elementary vestibule will channel visitors to the left entrance door. Once inside the vestibule, guests will present themselves through a new see through/pass through “movie-theatre style” window to the office. The vestibule will not extend to the height of the ceiling but will be 10 feet high. See the 3D rendering to the right for a visualization of the vestibule design. The television that currently sits next to the office window will be relocated. Prairie Winds Elementary #1

Lewis-Palmer Elementary School – Security Vestibule The front entrance at Lewis-Palmer Elementary School cannot accommodate an interior vestibule like the ones designed for Bear Creek and Prairie Winds. Instead, the existing exterior doors at the main entrance will become the interior doors for the vestibule. A glass atrium will be built out from the existing roof and wall to extend 7 feet from the current entrance. This newly enclosed space will include necessary HVAC equipment and lighting. To accommodate this new vestibule, the school will be relocating the receptionist from their office space down the hall to the triangular corner where benches are today. Schneider Electric will remove the existing benches and key safe from this area and will also provide power outlets for use in this space. The District is responsible for all furniture and other operational changes necessary for the receptionist to relocate. A sliding store-front window will replace the windowpane next to the existing entrance doors and will be directly above the new receptionist desk. The images on the following page are a 3D rendering of the new vestibule and a floor plan of the entrance area representing the new layout.

Installation of Security Walls

Additionally, an interior wall will be constructed in the corridor at Prairie Winds Elementary School to provide the ability to secure the classroom end of the corridor from the main entrance area. This will be built with similar materials to the vestibule at the entrance. At Lewis-Palmer Elementary School, the four classrooms that do not have fully enclosed walls will get an extension and a door to provide similar enclosure to the other rooms. The description for that installation is on page 3.

Prairie Winds Elementary School – Interior Wall The corridor to the pods and classrooms with no interior doors will get an interior wall to allow this space to be fully separated from the main entrance area. A wall will connect a set of double doors to the existing walls. The wall height will be 10 feet 6 inches tall. The wall will be glass like the vestibule area at the front entrance. The double doors will remain propped open under normal conditions to allow for easy passage through the corridor. When the doors are closed for security reasons, badge access will be required to enter this end of the hall. Each permanent staff member in the school has a security badge that will grant them access, but temporary staff members such as substitute teachers do not. The school will need to equip those staff members with temporary badge access or develop a procedure for granting that access if the doors are not open at virtually all times. The floorplan below shows the location of the interior wall and double door

Lewis-Palmer Elementary School – Interior Walls The four classrooms at Lewis-Palmer Elementary School that are not fully enclosed with walls and doors will get them. These will be fully opaque walls constructed similarly to the walls in place today that partially enclose these classrooms. New doors will be added in these four rooms that match the doors and hardware used in the other classrooms down each corridor. The image on the left below is an example floor plan for one of the four corridors that will have the room on the end enclosed. The image on the right below is an overview of the building showing where the corridors and work are located. The four rooms are at the exterior ends of the hashed areas labeled A, B, C, and D.
