Specifications include, but are not limited to: The District’s Strategic Facilities decisions are guided by the following principles, the District’s Strategic Facilities Roadmap: • Facilities should be functional in the following three areas: o Actual use by the students and staffed housed by the facilities, o Ability to serve the public, and o Geographic and logistics issues necessitated by the facility’s function. • District requirements and issues take priority over departments, as long as they do not significantly impair the mission of a single department. • District facilities and real estate should be used for the highest and best purpose. • The way space is designed and used should improve student experience, success and satisfaction and create an environment for creativity, connectivity and productivity. • Consider the economic cost of operating and maintaining a facility. • Consolidate personnel and functions where appropriate. • Consider the overall city, regional and state objectives and spatial requirements. • Promote and build on the District’s commitment to sustainability where feasible and financially viable.
