Considered the next generation of the new, multi-storyelementary school prototypes designed for the FultonCounty Board of Education, the replacement Esther Jacksonfacility in Roswell, Ga., will open its doors in August 2016.Construction continues at a steady pace.

“It’s an exciting project for us, because we are able to offera state-of-the-art educational facility that’s beautiful andequipped with the latest in technology and energy-efficiencyelements,” said Susan Hale, Fulton County Schools mediarelations manager. “The school where students are tem-porarily housed is identical in design, and students, parentsand staff have been extremely pleased with it. They’re enjoy-ing the 'rental' of that space , but will be equally excited tomove into the new Esther Jackson building that's complete-ly their own.”

The school district purchased property on Highway 9, inorder to construct a new elementary school serving as tem-porary quarters for students and teachers from EstherJackson. The new structure serves as a ‘swing school,’ whilethe facility at the Martin Road site is being rebuilt.

“The school they are in now will be renamed and willreopen to a new population of students next fall,” said Hale.“We are currently in the redistricting process to create thatnew student body and balance enrollments among other ele-mentary schools in the area. The old Esther Jackson buildingwas not only aging, but it was too small to house its studentbody. The opening of the new Esther Jackson ElementarySchool, and the soon-to-be-renamed West Roswell/Highway9 elementary school site, will help alleviate overcrowdingand balance enrollments among the area’s schools.”

The prototype was created to address the limited avail-ability of large land parcels within the county. The compactplan organization offers the same programmatic spaces andsite amenities found in other Fulton County elementaryschool prototypes, but within the constraints of a smallerfootprint. The school is organized in a linear east-west direc-tion with K-5 classrooms stacked within the east wing,withthe core functions — media center, music, gymnasium, cafe-torium and administrative suites — at the west end of thebuilding. This creates a vertical column of core spaceswhich can be isolated from the classroom spaces for after-school and community-use functions.

The layout of the school is less confusing to young chil-dren, and provides good opportunity for visual observationfor administration and staff. It also allows for natural lightwithin the corridors and in each classroom. The exterior

material selections include brick veneer, metal and cast stonetrim, which provides long-term durability against the effectsof weather, while offering a building that is low in mainte-nance.

The school is being constructed through the one-pennyeducation sales tax known as eSPLOST, which wasapproved by voters in November 2011. The tax is expectedto raise $912 million for Fulton County school improve-ments over its five-year lifetime.

A formal groundbreaking ceremony for the replacementschool took place in October 2015. Esther Jackson’sapproximately 15-acre site can support a full-time equiva-lent (FTE) of 850 students, with a core designed to allowexpansion to an FTE of 1,000 pupils. The new school, serv-ing a diverse population, will offer 54 regular classrooms,11 special-purpose classrooms (including a specialized com-

puter lab and art classroom), five computer outlets in everyclass, two age-appropriate exterior play structures, a 10,000sq. ft. (929 sq m) concrete play pad, state-of-the art firealarm, energy management and computer network systemsand an IP classroom television system.

Carroll Daniel Construction Company of Gainesville,Ga., is the general contractor for the project. According toHenry Irvin senior project manager, the project is a fast-paced tear down and rebuild of approximately 130,000 sq. ft.(12,077 sq m).

“The tear down of the existing school and replacementwith a new facility is a lot to accomplish in one calendaryear.

“Demolition took place right after school let out for sum-mer,” said Irvin. “It lasted approximately 40 days. Track

WGTC, CIS Celebrate Partnership With Showcase in Waco West Georgia Technical College (WGTC) and Crane

Industry Services LLC (CIS) held a program showcase andopen house on Dec. 2 to celebrate their partnership throughthe College’s Economic Development Division.

The ceremony took place at the Centered on SafetyTraining Center on the Murphy Campus in Waco, Ga.,which showcased hands-on, job specific training for thecrane and rigging industry.

Approximately 40 people, including Mike Dugan,Georgia state Sen. attended. Other guests included AngelaRoyal of the Georgia Department of Labor;Vann Pelt, vice president of Aubrey SilveyEnterprises, which provided the cranes forthe Showcase; representatives from busi-ness development group Carroll Tomorrow,Carroll and Haralson County chambers ofcommerce, as well as contractors, utilitycompanies and union representatives.

The availability of expanded technicalcourses comes at a time when constructionstarts are growing in Georgia, while thelabor supply fails to meet to the demand.

“Our entire state is experiencing short-ages of skilled laborers. Many were lost toother forms of employment during theGreat Recession. But there is also a genera-tion that has lived through a heavy empha-sis on attending traditional four-year uni-versities rather than learning a trade. InGeorgia, we are working hard to reverse the

trend,” said Dugan. He cited the importance of the State’sMove On When Ready program, but said cooperative effortsbetween government, institutions and private industry willlikely have the biggest impact.

Those thoughts were echoed by WGTC President Steve

Daniel, who welcomed Crane Industry Services. “It takes

employers, educators, and private business working together

in order to provide the expertise and types of technical train-

ing that the industry seeks,” he said.

Event HighlightsThe ceremonial ribbon was held by two crane hooks in

honor of the Centered on Safety Training Center’s purposeto provide crane, rigging and construction craft training. Theevent included crane operation and rigging demonstrations.

Cliff Dickinson, president of Crane Industry Services,enlisted volunteers from among the guests to demonstratetypical rigging tasks, such as how to turn a load, finding loadcenter of gravity, and proper hand signals. Terry Norris and

Gary Lloyd, Crane and Rigging Specialistsfor Crane Industry Services, demonstratedbasic crane operation.

Courses delivered by CIS’s certifiedinstructors are essential to construction,utilities, power generation, manufacturing,and mining and refining. Courses includebasic and advanced rigging; rigging inspec-tor; crane operator training, certificationand qualification for mobile, overhead andtower cranes; crane inspector; crane sitesafety management; and power line safetyfor utility workers. Additional courses arein development. Custom courses and openenrollment options are available.

hoes were used for the structure demolition.”Approximately 60,000 cu. yds. (45,873 cu m) of

dirt/material will be moved on the project. Currently, struc-tural steel erection of the café and administration areas is tak-ing place, along with roof decking over the three-story sec-tion, MEP rough ins on the first and second floors, exteriorsheathing, wall layout on the third floor and prepping andpouring the exterior site retaining walls. Finishes, glass andglazing and roofing are among the tasks that have yet to becarried out.

Equipment at the site includes scissor lifts, which are

being used to install overhead systems. Lulls and forklifts arerequired to unload trucks and bring materials to the building.Cranes are being utilized to erect steel and set materials onthe roof, while skidsteers and dozers are needed to maintainthe site. Excavators were used for underground utility instal-lation, and concrete pump trucks are on hand for slab pours.Some of the main materials being used include structuralsteel, concrete, metal studs and sheathing/drywall.

Irvin said crews have made a special effort to stay aheadof the challenges that come with winter conditions.

“We try to get asphalt binder down before the rainy coldmonths to stage the project from. We are trying to roof and

sheath the building before the cold weather really sets in.”Workers made a point of placing as much concrete as pos-

sible in advance of the wet season.“We tried to install as much of the underground utility

infrastructure as possible early on in the project. This allowsfor the placement of asphalt and concrete. We can then stagethe project off these surfaces instead of fighting mud thatcomes from the rainy season at the end of the year,” Irvinsaid.

The most time-consuming part of the job has involvedmaking sure that all the pieces of the project are approved,fabricated, delivered and installed at the time they are need-ed, as the schedule allows for no room for slippage.

Reviewing submissions, checking shop drawings,sequencing work and subcontractors in the most efficientmanner possible have all been integral and crucial parts tomaintaining the schedule. The remediation of some soilswas an unforeseen condition that also had to be addressed.

Assistant project manager Jay Wilhoite said, “hittingunsuitable soils delayed the project, and was mitigated byworking extra hours, nights and weekends to pick back up toremain on schedule.”

Crews have already completed grading of the new site, aswell as underground detention, curb and gutter and the pour-ing of slab on grade.

“Once we have a roof on the building, weather will nolonger be able to dictate working days and we’ll begin tran-sitioning into installing glass and glazing, hanging drywall,installing ceilings, flooring and swinging doors,” saidWilhoite.

Although officials have chosen not to pursue any third-party certification, the new school would likely qualify for aLEED Silver or higher rating. Some of the notable sustain-ability components include high efficiency mechanical sys-

tems and energy recovery, low VOC finishes and carpetthat’s part of the “closed-loop” recycling program and LEDlight fixtures. Building envelope improvements such as con-tinuous insulation on the walls and roof and pray foam insu-lation in wall cavities and spray applied air barrier systemswere also incorporated into the design, along with large win-dows in every classroom for day-lighting and green spacesfor outdoor instruction and play.

Jeffrey Juliano, AIA, Collins Cooper Carusi ArchitectsInc., said the firm’s vision for this project was clear from thebeginning.

“We wanted to develop a solution that addressed FultonCounty Schools’ programmatic requirements, and at thesame time provide the flexibility to adapt to various teachingmethodologies and accommodate current and future techno-logical changes needed for students to learn and achieve.

“The single most difficult challenge was the site size,”Juliano said. “Although it would become a design opportu-nity, the site was smaller than what we were accustomed tofor an elementary school of this size. A portion of the site wasdesignated wetlands, and much of the buildable area wasdedicated to parking and outdoor play spaces, so we werelimited to where and what we could build on the groundfloor. As it would turn out, the small footprint pushed us toconsider and eventually build a three-story solution. Thisprovided the opportunity to create classroom and collabora-tion spaces on multiple floors which provided a variety ofviews and experiences.”

Juliano said creating just the right space was no small task.“Schools in particular can have a profound impact on a

student’s ability to learn, especially elementary schools,

since this is likely their first experience in a structured envi-ronment that is not day-care or pre-school. The quality of thisenvironment can set the foundation for future learning andachievement. Chief among our concerns is the creation of anenvironment where the student feels safe and secure. Wepaid special attention to the materials used in the construc-tion of the building, how the building will maintain a healthyenvironment for future generations and how the physicalarrangement of spaces allow students to explore their sur-roundings.

“There really isn’t a particular feature we can single out,but more an overall experience of the entire building. We areinterested in seeing how the various collaborative spaces willbe used. We can plan a space for a particular use, but it'sinteresting to see how the staff then interprets the use into awhole new thing that we did not think of,” said Juliano.

For Juliano and the rest of the team, having the schoolblend in with the community also was important.

“The surrounding neighborhood is primarily residential.We didn’t want to reconstruct a big house, but we did want

to fit in materially. The new school is mostly brick veneerwith stucco. In addition, we have gabled roofs with largeoverhangs.

“In general, schools are different from other projects.During the formative years, a child will spend as much timein school as they will at home, and the experience can havea profound impact. First and foremost, the student shouldfeel safe and secure. This will set the environment for a stu-dent to be open to learning. From there it's about opportuni-ties for interaction between staff and fellow students. Wethink a lot about the 'in-between' spaces where students talkand make friends, such as the small corners of a hallway orscaled areas within a larger space. We provide the structureto enhance the experience of learning.”

Approximately 85 percent of our work is in the educa-tional market,with a little more than 50 percent of that in thepublic and private K-12 sector, so we have a very goodunderstanding of how schools work and, just as important,how students learn. We know now that hands-on activitieshave a much greater impact and lasting impression than tra-ditional teaching methods. We also understand students learnbest when they are comfortable, safe and have experiencesthat touch all their senses. We try to provide these kinds ofexperiences through color, daylight, variety ofclassroom/collaboration spaces, including outdoor class-room opportunities, and the proper selection of furnishings.”

As for what students, teachers, parents and visitors shouldtake away from the new facility Juliano said, “our hope isthat they recognize there is something different in their expe-rience of this school — that it makes for an environment theywant to be in and be a part of. Our goal is to provide an envi-ronment that enhances the learning process.”
