BOARD OF EDUCATION OF HARFORD COUNTY
INFORMATIONAL REPORT
DECISION ON THE JOPPATOWNE HIGH SCHOOL LIMITED RENOVATION EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
JUNE 17, 2019
Background Information:
A scope study was approved by the BOE December 2009. Joppatowne High School has multiple critical systemic problems. This includes major HVAC, building envelope, structural, ADA deficiencies, and safety and security issues. A project to address these issues was originally put forward to the State as a systemic renovation; however, the State would not fund multiple systemic renovations and recommended the project be put forward as a limited renovation. With a limited renovation project, HCPS can address the multiple critical systemic needs of the building while also improving the facility for educational programs such as the Homeland Security program, Child Development, Music, Science, Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) and Tech Ed. Local planning for the limited renovation was approved in the FY2016 CIP.
Discussion:
Educational Specifications provide direction to the design team on the minimum physical and performance requirements for a project. The Educational Specifications Committee for the Joppatowne High School Limited Renovation Project included the Executive Director for Middle and High School Performance, Assistant Superintendent of Operations, Planning and Construction staff, administrators from the school, and representatives of Banta Campbell Architects, Inc, the architectural firm responsible for the design. Content supervisors, as well as representatives of Harford County Parks and Recreation also participated in this process. Additionally, at the April 15th PTSA meeting, the scope of the project was presented and discussion with parents, teachers, and staff of Joppatowne High School. The Educational Specifications for recently constructed high schools, as well as Havre de Grace Middle/High School were used as a reference. The committee also considered how changes in technology and the delivery of education may be supported by the building.
The Educational Specifications for the Joppatowne High School Limited Renovation outline the needs for a school with a design capacity of approximately 1,094 students, with special classroom spaces needed to support the current Homeland Security Signature Program, Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) and an impending partnership with Harford Community College to offer college level courses to students in the Joppatowne High School Building; current discussions include courses associated with the Homeland Security Program as well as general education credits.
The Educational Specifications must be submitted to the Public School Construction Program by July 1, 2019, and approved by the State Superintendent of Schools, in order to be considered for State construction funding in FY 2021.
Superintendent’s Recommendation:
The Superintendent of Schools recommends that the Board of Education approve, for submission to the State, the Educational Specifications for the Joppatowne High School Limited Renovation. Educational Specifications

July 2019 Joppatowne High School Educational Specifications Page ii SECTION I - PROJECT SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION
This document defines the educational program and general specification for the Limited Renovation of Joppatowne High School. This document is meant to be used by the project design team in conjunction with Harford County Public Schools Design Standards. After the Limited Renovation is complete, the school will be designed with a capacity of 1,094 students, and include spaces associated with instructional and support staff, Harford County Parks and Recreation, Harford Community College, as well as the community of Joppatowne.
COMMUNITY AND SCHOOL HISTORY
Joppatowne High School was built in 1973 and is situated on 65 acres. It is accessible from Joppa Farm Road at Hinton Road and Falconer Road. The school is in the southwest corner of Harford County, just south of U.S. Route 40. Joppatowne is a water-oriented community bordered to the west by the Gunpowder River and Little Gunpowder Falls. The school motto is “We are Mariners…Anchored in Success”.
Joppatowne High School hosts the Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (HSEP) program; a Career and Technology Education (CTE) instructional program. The program offers three career strands: Homeland Security Sciences, Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement, and Information/Communications Technology. These three strands align with the six mission areas of the United States Department of Homeland Security: Intelligence and Warning, Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Key Assets, Border and Transportation Security, Domestic Counterterrorism, Defense against Catastrophic Threats, and Emergency Preparedness and Response.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION
Joppatowne High School currently serves ninth through twelfth grades. The school has not received any major upgrades to the building. A minor addition in 1982 added an elevator and a corridor to connect the second floors of the two classroom wings. A gym addition was built in 2008 and the roof was replaced in 2017. The gym and roof will not be impacted by this project.
The school has multiple major systemic needs including, but not limited to structural and envelope (exterior doors, windows);DRAFT mechanical (HVAC) and plumbing (domestic water, sprinkler, lavatory, toilet fixtures); electrical upgrades (including lighting and MEMA requirements); and fire safety.
Enrollment at the school remains below capacity, but the school does not have the appropriate spaces for the programs offered. This includes appropriate spaces for the Homeland Security program, child development, music and tech ed. Additionally, to accommodate the educational needs, two (2) science rooms, a professional foods lab, and a multi-purpose room for mock trial, drama practice, and other functions are needed.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
It was determined that a Limited Renovation is the most feasible and economical method to address the school’s systemic needs and address the most critical educational needs.
Educational Enhancements
• The educational enhancements will include spaces for the Homeland Security signature program, Child Development Laboratories, Professional Foods Laboratory, Graphics Laboratory and related support classrooms. Additionally, HCPS will coordinate with Harford County Community College to design in flex space for a potential partnership. Structural
• The concrete slab and interior walls have settled in some areas at the stage and dressing areas. The structural engineer's report determined this is due to settlement of the soil below slabs, which may not have been compacted and prepared adequately. Although these are structural elements, it was determined that most of this concern is a nuisance and a cosmetic issue attributed to the load bearing elements of the facility. The concrete slab and the interior walls within this area will be repaired and replaced as recommended by the structural engineer.
• The brick veneer along the south auditorium stage and instrumental music areas was stained from water that penetrated behind the wall, which has compromised the wall reinforcement and brick mortar in many areas. It is possible that the water that penetrates these walls is not able to weep from the cavity as necessary. The proposed scope of work will be to remove the brick veneer, treat the CMU back up wall with fluid applied air/vapor barrier, install new brick tie system and install new brick veneer to match existing building.
• Most of the exterior windows are the original vintage, needing replacement with energy efficient windows. The specifications of the new windows will be fabricated with aluminum thermally broken frames with operable sections in the classroom areas. The window glazing will be 1” insulated units. The glazing will be “low-E” for improved energy and comfort performance.
• Most of the ceiling throughout the building is metal pan ceiling system, which is in much needed state of repair. The exception is in the science area, which was replaced in 1996 during the renovation of this area. The structural ceiling system in this science area is in fairly good shape but the tile would still need to be replaced when the other structural support ceiling areas are replaced. Mechanical DRAFT • Most of the facility is operating with the HVAC equipment and systems that are over 35 years old, which is well beyond their expected life. Please see attached mechanical systemic renovation narrative and the floor showing the quantity as well as the age of the equipment.
July 2019 Joppatowne High School Limited Renovation Educational Specifications 2
Plumbing
• Replace existing domestic water service to support and existing sub grade storm drain system. The existing storm system is terra cotta piping that was found to be clogged and broken in many places. The piping will be replaced with cast iron to meet current quality standards.
Electrical
• The existing electrical service will be upgraded to meet current building code standards and necessary provisions to allow the facility to be used as an emergency shelter according to local Emergency Management Control.
Fire Safety
• Replace existing domestic water service that supports the fire sprinkler system.
Other work
• Replacement ADA compliant door and hardware. The proposed scope of work will replace most of the existing door hardware with ADA compliant lever handle hardware. Also paired doors less than 6'-0" in width will be replaced with a one (1) 3' leaf door and one (1) smaller leaf.
• Replacement of exterior doors with FRP type doors with continuous hinges, improved hardware and durable face sheets. These doors will provide security and energy efficiency.
• Replacement of floor finishes such as aged vinyl composition tile and carpet in all areas. The existing terrazzo floor finishes in the corridors are typically in good shape with minor repairs at cracked areas.
• Replacement of all toilet partitions with new solid plastic type partition system. The current size of some of the existing toilet rooms may limit full ADA compliance but a majority of the toilet rooms can be improved.
• Replacement of student metal lockers. Most of the lockers are the original to the vintage of the building. The new lockers will have a larger width to accommodate the larger size book bags, athletic bags and other personal items students carry today.
• Replacement of the majority of toilet and lavatory fixtures in toilet rooms. The new fixtures will improve energy efficiency and improve ADA compliance as well as current building codes. • Replacement ofDRAFT the existing stadium, bleachers and press box. In addition, the new stadium will include buildings for a field house, concession, team locker and shower (Home & Visitor), public bathrooms and team storage.
• Replacement of the existing elevator.

• Career and Technology Education 1. Harford County Public Schools offers a variety of high school Career and Technology Education (CTE) programs that are designed to increase the academic, career, and technical skills of students in order to prepare them for careers and further education. Providing students with appropriate equipment, including instructional technology and workplace environments, is critical to this mission. 2. HCPS strives to develop technology-rich, authentic, and relevant learning environments as an accepted and crucial part of the instructional program to help engage the learner and provide students with 21st century work skills. Future workers need to understand how to use information and communications technologies effectively; be able to identify and solve problems; seek out, evaluate, and analyze information from a variety of sources; work and communicate well with others; and have highly developed interpersonal and self- direction skills. Effective technology integration should align, work in harmony, and support these skill sets. Teacher-focused instruction must give way to student-centered learning that is engaging, authentic, meaningful, and interactive. Technology infusion can play a pivotal role in this transition. 3. CTE programs are offered in the nine comprehensive high schools and Harford Technical High School. These programs focus on four career cluster areas: Arts, Media and Communication; Business, Finance and Information Technology; Health and Human Services; and Science, Engineering and Technology. Within each cluster, a variety of programs and course offerings is available for student selection.

SECTION V – PROJECT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The following should be considered during the design of the limited renovation of Joppatowne High School. • The high school must be designed in clusters, one for Math, Science, and Technology; and another for Humanities and Fine Arts. Provision for a flex space for future Harford Community College should be designed into the space. • The design should permit flexibility in instruction and learning. Classrooms and laboratories should be designed to accommodate various sized groups, each classroom should be amenable to group work and various presentation formats. Learning spaces must be able to expand and contract. The use of most classrooms should be adaptable for a variety of purposes by changing or rearranging furniture. • Instructional areas should have adequate learning space, teacher work areas, and storage facilities. • Maximum connectivity to outside resources will be required in the classrooms of the future, including voice, video, and data cabling. • Staff work areas should be arranged to encourage interdisciplinary interaction. • The administrative offices for assistant principals should be in the main office area. Offices should be designed to provide maximum observation of the main building entrance. • Areas to be used frequently by the community – food service, auditorium, gymnasium, Harford Community College Classroom and media center, - should be accessible by separate entrances from the rest of the building and should be able to be operated as separate facilities with supervision by sight. • Restroom areas to be used by the public should be located so they can be used for evening and weekend activities without necessitating access to other parts of the building. • The building should be spacious and well-lit with natural lighting. The inside design should create a sense of community. • The exterior of the school should reflect its place in the community as a center of the community. It should be easily recognized as a school. • Adequate and well lighted parking for projected numbers of staff, students, and community members should be provided. DRAFT
