Parents use the parking lots and/or adjacent streets to drop off students. • There are 130 staff members at Hobbs High School. • There are some conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians at dismissal time, mostly on Jefferson and Scharbauer Streets. Crosswalks are needed on Scharbauer Street. • There are drainage problems and ponding water between 100 and 200 classroom wings and at the entrance to the main office. • Tasker Arena needs a cooling system. It is currently cooled with evaporative coolers that are not effective in the humid Hobbs environment. • Tasker Arena has a chronic rodent problem. • The sewage system has been revamped recently. Restrooms in the 600 classroom wings have been upgraded; however, most other restrooms on campus are outdated and in need of refurbishment. • The emergency lighting system is not adequate. • Campus is not fenced and easily accessed by outsiders. • There are accessibility issues at Tasker Arena and other locations around campus. • Administrative area is in need of refurbishment and enlargement. Notes from meeting with Bruce Carver, Athletic Director 4/20/2006: • Hobbs High School uses the city sports complex (Ziaplex) for baseball and softball. The facility is owned by the state and managed by the City of Hobbs. The high school maintains three baseball fields for its exclusive use and includes a baseball / softball field house constructed by the high school. • The existing field house on campus will be renovated for office use by coaching staff and for dressing rooms for other programs such as cross country, soccer and track. Mr. Carver did not think that this renovation is funded. • Locker rooms at Hobbs High School are outdated and in need of refurbishment. • There is a recently created wrestling area located north of the auxiliary gym. Additional remodel is still needed. • Tasker Arena and the natatorium need a refrigerated cooling system. They are used year round for various programs and the evaporative cooling system is ineffective in the Hobbs humidity. • Bleachers and wood floor in Tasker Arena need to be upgraded. The wood floor has been refinished four times and is at the end of its useful life. Bleachers are old, wood type, difficult to extend and not ADA compliant. Summary Notes and Comments School Site: The site, at approximately 80 acres, is above the standard requirement for a high school. It is relatively flat in topography. Staff noted that there are drainage issues and water ponding problems between the 100 and 200 Wings. Due to dry weather conditions at the time of the evaluation, site drainage issues were not evident, but are presumed to exist. Paved streets surround the site. Properties adjacent to the Hobbs Municipal Schools HOBBS HIGH SCHOOL CIP 2 Master Plan Support Material Facilities Master Plan 2007 02/08 ARC 20602.000 site are predominantly residential, although there are two commercial properties across Sanger Street to the north. There is an existing traffic light at the intersection of Sanger and Jefferson and stop signs at other intersections. Striped crosswalks and school zone signs are present on Jefferson and Scharbauer Streets, only, and no flashing school lights on any street. Visitor and administration parking, located at the southwest corner of the site, is accessed from Scharbauer or Jefferson Streets. The main student parking area is located at the south end of the site and accessed from Scharbauer Street. There are additional, smaller parking areas for staff located on the west side that is accessed from Jefferson Street and a small lot located at the northwest corner of the site accessed from Sanger Street. Additional staff parking areas are scattered around the site and accessed from most streets, with the exception of Stadium. Student bus loading and unloading is on Scharbauer Street. Special event buses are brought into the south, student parking area and special education student buses access the site from Sanger on the north end of the site. Kitchen deliveries are also from this access. Pedestrian and vehicle traffic is intermingled during the start and completion of the day; however, it is well managed and controlled and does not appear to create unsafe conditions. Installation of flashing school signals, way finding signage and additional crosswalks on all streets would help to slow traffic, improve traffic management and guide visitors. Asphalt paving is spider webbed, cracked and worn and would benefit from resealing and re-striping, at a minimum. Future consideration should be given to replacement of the asphalt. Pedestrian concrete walkways are in generally good condition, but with damage and/or cracks in some areas around the campus that should be replaced or repaired. Handicap access is adequate, but signage is poor and could use improvement. Utilities are underground except for power and communication lines between the 200 Wing and the student commons. The main entrance is not well identified and enhancement to create more of a sense of arrival is recommended. The site needs an improved marquee sign and a building directory. The site is not fenced and is readily accessible from any of the surrounding streets. Site lighting is marginally adequate, but could be improved for after hours access. Site security is minimal, in particular, given the open site. Hobbs High School is a closed campus. Existing landscaping at the perimeter is well maintained and attractive. Landscaping is lacking in the interior of the campus and could be improved with the creation of courtyards as seating / gathering areas. Landscaped areas are provided with an automatic irrigation system. There are no shade structures or others areas that are suitable as outdoor teaching spaces. The site is fully developed and there are no modular units. There are several metal storage buildings located around the site. Entrances and exits are accessed via paved walks, pathways and ramps. There is no accessible entrance to the performing arts center. Most of the buildings are missing vestibules / air locks at main entrances. Power assisted door openers are provided at the counseling / library wing, only. The site is landlocked and expansion options are limited without infringements on existing, parking, landscaped or play field areas and/or the acquisition of additional adjacent land. Hobbs Municipal Schools HOBBS HIGH SCHOOL CIP 3 Master Plan Support Material Facilities Master Plan 2007 02/08 ARC 20602.000 School Plant: Exterior building finishes are predominantly brick, all in excellent condition. The new multipurpose center is a metal building with stucco exterior walls and accents. Exterior windows are lacking in most classrooms and in some cases, existing windows were in-filled with a corrugated material painted to match the adjacent brick. This material could be constructed of and/or contain asbestos containing materials. Parapets, where provided, are metal capped. The 100 and 500 Wings still have some older steel casement windows that should be replaced with more efficient units. Exterior doors are retrofitted aluminum doors and frames, most are without vestibules. The exceptions are the west entrance into the 200 wing, the west and north entrance to the 600 wing, the south entrances to the student commons, the south entrance to Tasker Arena and the main entrance to the new multipurpose. Roofs are predominantly gravel ballasted, built up roofing systems that, although good in appearance and without current issues, are at or near the end of their useful life. The new multipurpose building and adjacent field house addition have a metal standing seam roofing system. The attached weight room and main lobby are roofed with an adhered EPDM system. A preventative program to gradually replace aged built-up roofing systems prior to the onset of roofing issues is recommended. Incorporation of natural light into teaching spaces through the use of skylights is recommended in conjunction with re-roofing work. Double loaded interior corridors provide access to rooms and lead to most exits. They are of sufficient width to meet accessibility requirements and most interior doors are recessed or semi-recessed. Interior doors are solid core wood, with or without glass lights, with knob type hardware. Doors and hardware need to be upgraded and a master keyed lock system installed. With the exception of the new multipurpose and the 500 wing, most restrooms are in need of refurbishment and upgrading for ADA accessibility. Additional staff restrooms are needed. Drinking fountains are well distributed and ADA accessible in most instances. Interior finishes are a combination of exposed masonry, painted masonry, drywall, glazed tile or ceramic tile. Walls are generally in good condition, but surfaces are worn and showing age. Refurbishment is required. Ceilings are 2x4 suspended acoustical systems or gypsum board systems, in good to fair condition, also requiring refurbishment to replace stained, broken or warped tile. The vocational and FFA shop ceilings are exposed structure, as is the main part of the multipurpose and the gymnasiums. Ceilings in restrooms are painted gypsum board or 2x4 systems.
