What is a Feasibility Study?
The Peters Township Board of School Directors has engaged in a Feasibility
Study of the High School facility. The study will focus solely on the evaluation of the needs of the
existing High School building.
The
key intent of the study is to evaluate the building and determine the best use of
the available space, while considering renovations to existing spaces that
could solve current programming needs.
The Board has contracted with The Hayes Design Group to complete this study. Begun in May of 2016, the projected is expected to be completed in October, 2016.
Throughout the process, the
Hayes Design Group, will collaborate with the School Board, District
Administration, support staff, teachers and students. Engaging
stakeholders will ensure the study takes into consideration the needs of the
District as well as the variety of groups who utilize the facility in order to reflect the evolving needs of the students and community. A comprehensive needs assessment and survey will help to yield research-based,
well thought out recommendations and solutions.
Another
key consideration of the study will be incorporating 21st Century
Learning Concepts that will allow for collaborative learning spaces, community
utilization of the facility and multi-media and technology capabilities to
enrich the students’ learning experience.
The
end-result of the project will be to put forth a comprehensive report on the status of the building's infrastructure and, if necessary, recommendations for renovations that would extend the life of the building for 20
more years.
