39 Nonor Penns Valley Area School District Existing Facilities Report Penns Valley Area High School 4545 Penns Valley Rd, Spring Mills, PA History: Penns Valley Area High School was originally built in In 1967 additional classrooms and the current cafeteria were added. More classrooms and a full renovation occurred in An athletic addition was added in Building Statistics: Size of Building: 152,000 sq. ft. (one story building) Exterior of front of school Grades: The school currently educates students from 7 th through 12 th grades. Site: Vehicular Circulation & Parking: There is a large parking area and bus loop in the front of the school directly off of Penns Valley Road. Additional parking is located on the side of the school and to the rear. These lots are used during events at the adjacent stadium. Buses que in the loop in front of the school for drop off and pick up. Aerial view of site. Buses in loop in front of school Sidewalks and Paving: There is a sidewalk path around the loop road in front of the school as well as a path leading up to the school from the lower lot. The sidewalks are in good condition. Other walk ways around the school are bituminous paving. The paving in the lot and loop road in front of the school is in fair to poor condition. Issues to consider: PVHS.S.01 The parking lot and loop road in front of the school should be repaved. Play Areas: The school property is large with a nice green space to the east. There is a stadium and track in the northeast corner. Additional fields are located above and below the stadium. There are no locker rooms or toilet facilities at the stadium. Lockers in the northeast corner of the school are used for athletes. Issues to consider: PVHS.S.02 Public toilet facilities should be created to serve the stadium and other athletic field areas. kcba-architects.com Page 34

40 Nonor Penns Valley Area School District Existing Facilities Report Penns Valley Area High School 4545 Penns Valley Rd, Spring Mills, PA Building Exterior: Façade: The exterior façade of the school is masonry veneer with aluminum storefront windows. There are signs of cracking and some locations. Caulking at control joints and around windows is failing in some locations. At the library, steel lintels are exposed and rusting. There were some areas (near of the front of the building) where vertical control joints did not run down the entire façade but stopped at a window opening. Exterior elevation in courtyard Rusting lintel at window head near library Ballasted roof Issues to consider: PVHS.EX.01 The entire school exterior should be re-caulked at control joints and building penetrations. PVHS.EX.02 Failing lintels at window opens should be replaced. Fenestration: Windows are generally in fair condition. They include insulated glazing with some operable portions. Some glass entrance doors in the school are single glazed. Many of the windows into classrooms have been covered with a black film to eliminate day light into the classrooms. Issues to consider: PVHS.EX.03 Alternative methods to control natural light and reduce heat gain into classroom should be considered. Interior shades with light shelves could be a solution. Roof: The building has a flat ballasted roof throughout most of the school. The recent gym addition has a flat EPDM roof. It was noted that periodic leaks are fixed from time to time. The district has recently engaged a roofing company to develop a report. Roof was recently inspected and is 5-1/2 years old, in good condition, and under warranty until Typical roof drain kcba-architects.com Page 35

41 Nonor Penns Valley Area School District Existing Facilities Report Penns Valley Area High School 4545 Penns Valley Rd, Spring Mills, PA Building Interior: Flooring: Much of the school s corridors are terrazzo. Most areas are in very good condition. Most of the classrooms are VCT flooring which is in fair to good condition. Walls: Corridor walls are a mix of glazed block tile with painted plaster above. Many corridor area include 12 wide metal lockers. Classroom walls are primarily painted block. Typical corridor Ceilings: The ceilings in the corridor are primarily accessible 2x4 ceiling tiles with recessed fluorescent lighting. Many of the classroom ceilings are a clip-in or direct adhered tile. These systems do not allow for access above and have much less of an acoustical rating than tiles of today. In some areas, staining was noticed due to roof leaks. Issues to consider: PVHS.BI.01 Any classrooms with older ceiling tile should be replaced with a minimum NRC rating of Food Service: The kitchen and serving area are modern with stainless steel equipment. A single serving line, accessed from the corridor, serves students who then enter the cafeteria from a pair of double doors. There are some former student areas along the side of the cafeteria. Classroom interior with stained ceiling tile. Issues to consider: PVHS.BI.02 Consideration should be given to opening up the wall between the kitchen and cafeteria for better access for students. A separate café area for beverages and snack could be included to help reduce the amount of students entering the full lunch line. PVHS.BI.03 Portions of the cafeteria space should be made more compatible to student needs throughout the day. Areas for group instruction or individual study could be included.

42 Nonor Penns Valley Area School District Existing Facilities Report Penns Valley Area High School 4545 Penns Valley Rd, Spring Mills, PA Code Compliance: In recent renovations to the school most of the toilet rooms have been upgraded and are ADA compliant. Some smaller toilet rooms have not been upgraded. Sinks in many of the classroom are not handicap accessible where at least one such fixture is required. The gymnasium bleachers do not have railing and seating for handicap visitors. A chair lift connects the upper level of the school to the lower area. There is no building wide suppression system (sprinklers). Chair lift to the lower portion of the school Issues to consider: PVHS.BI.04 All toilet rooms should be fully ADA compliant. Consideration should be given to including handicap accessible faculty toilet rooms as well. PVHS.BI.05 ADA compliant sinks should be included in teaching spaces (science labs) where sinks are available. PVHS.BI.06 The bleachers in the gymnasium should be replaced. Security: The entry vestibule into the school is secured from the school corridors. However there is little visibility from the vestibule into the administration area. There are limited security cameras in and few outside of the school. The doors and door hardware into classrooms is not very secure. Vestibule into school Issues to consider: PVHS.BI.07 More visibility should be created from the administration area into the vestibule. PVHS.BI.08 Additional security cameras should be added throughout the building interior and exterior. Cameras should be located at all exterior access points. PVHS.BI.09 New solid doors with secure hardware should replace classroom doors. Side lights should be included but divided by aluminum mullions. Doors into library kcba-architects.com Page 37

43 Nonor Penns Valley Area School District Existing Facilities Report Penns Valley Area High School 4545 Penns Valley Rd, Spring Mills, PA HVAC: The existing boilers serving the building are past their useful service life. We would also recommend the pumps, air separator and other appurtenances be replaced at the same time as the boilers. The heating and ventilating unit ventilators serving the classrooms are pneumatically controlled and also nearing the end of the anticipated service life. As spaces served by the unit ventilators are renovated it is recommended they are replaced too. The gymnasiums and auditorium are each served by dedicated heating and ventilation units located within adjacent mechanical spaces. These are also pneumatically controlled and are reaching the end of their anticipated service life. The administration/office area is currently conditioned by multiple systems. A packaged rooftop unit provides conditioning to part of the office. Other spaces are conditioned by a series of split system direct expansion air conditioners. Electrical Panels in Corridor Electrical: The main service gear and distribution equipment looks to be in good working condition, and the capacity of the service is likely adequate for the work being proposed. The only issue that should be addressed is the Federal Pacific panelboards in the corridors. These panels are outdated and it is difficult to find replacement parts. Also, most of the panel covers are not secured which could create a safety hazard. To replace these panels, a new panel would be installed in a suitable secure location and the old panel would be removed, leaving the existing back box as a junction box to allow extending the circuits to the new panel location. Plumbing: The existing student restrooms were recently updated. However, the faculty/staff restrooms have not had any accessibility or fixture upgrades.
