Meeting Overview:
The notes provided below are in reference to the progress meeting with the Assistant
City Manager and Education Policy and Services Administrator regarding the Early
Childhood Centers of Excellence proposed by the Mayor’s SA2020 Brainpower
Initiative Task Force.
• Bryan Sibille confirmed that FP&C had been directed to program the facility
as a daycare, instead of a school. The maximum number of students at full
build-out would still be 500 with an estimated 20 students per classroom.
• Bryan Sibille presented three preliminary space lists for discussion based on
previous meeting discussions.
• Option 1: Including all desired components for classrooms,
professional development components and all administration (center
and professional development) – 48,000 gsf
• Option 2: Classrooms, professional development and center
administration – 44,600 gsf
• Option 3: Classrooms and center administration only – 33,200 gsf
• Both centers will generally utilize the same base program. The Southside
center will also include the administration for the professional development
component of the centers as there is more space available at this location
(new construction).
• It was decided that Option 3, although a good fit for the Southwest Airlines
Building (+/- 30,000 gsf), was not a desirable option as it did not include any
of the professional development component.
