Building Stacking Diagram
Due to the age of the children served by this facility, it will be a state
requirement that all children’s services be located on one continuous
floor at ground level. A description of the adjacencies required between
the functions to be located in the building, as outlined in the space summaries,
are included on the pages which follow.
Adjacencies
The new Eastside and Westside Pre-K 4 SA Early Childhood Center of
Excellence will each include four distinct functions within the building
- instructional/activity space for the children, administrative space,
professional development space and building support functions. On the
building exterior, it is important that the center be provided a unique and
distinguishing identity to indicate its location and function to the community.
Exterior playground space will also need to be provided. Building
security will be of great importance due to the population served by the
building. Public functions should be clearly segregated and zoned from
those related to children’s activities and instruction.
Additionally, the designer may consider zoning the building with “like”
functions into three general areas - public, instructional and administrative.
The preferred adjacencies of Building Support Functions and Exterior
Areas are discussed within each of the three zones, where applicable.
