Technical Requirements of Non-Assignable Spaces
Given the particular functional needs of the Pre-K 4 SA Early Childhood
Centers, the following design considerations should be incorporated into
the non-assignable spaces noted below. City of San Antonio Standards
shall be reviewed for detailed information concerning these spaces.
1. Housekeeping / Custodial Closets shall be of sufficient size for a slop
sink, mop hanger, shelving for cleaning supplies, buckets, vacuums,
etc. Provide two closets (min.). One closet should be located in both
the public areas and classroom area. This will enhance the security
of the children within the instructional area while allowing custodial
access to equipment and cleaning supplies without the need
to transfer items between the general, public areas and secure (ie.
card reader access) zones during cleaning/maintenance activities.
2. Data / Telephone Closets shall be designed according to City of
San Antonio ITSD Standards, with sufficient condition air over
a 24-hour period of operation. MDF and/or IDF rooms shall be
provided and sized according to the ITSD Cabling Standards.
3. Provide mechanical space(s) sized appropriately for air handlers,
pumps, piping, etc. Also provide separate closet(s) for electrical
panels and other necessary electrical equipment. Provide chases
as needed.
4. Provide a Loading / Service Area (van-height, minimum) for loading
and delivery. This area should have adequate space to accommodate
the maneuvering of trucks and dumpsters and shall be screened
from view. Provide an area for two dumpsters, minimum (trash
and recycling).
