introduction
These Design Guidelines are the result of a focused engagement process with OUSD staff, school facility experts, as well as a study of relevant school facility code requirements and best practices. Working groups consisting of OUSD stakeholders developed content for this document through a discussion of topics identified in the 2012 Facilities Master Plan: Shared Use Kitchens and Gardens 21st Century Classrooms Middle School & High School facilities.
design criteria established by the Coalition for High Performance Schools, in order to: protect student and staff health, and enhance the learning environments of school children everywhere; conserve energy, water, and other natural resources, and reduce waste, pollution, and environmental degradation. Moreover, these elements should be made visible and prominent so that facilities themselves become teaching tools. These Design Guidelines are a companion to the OUSD Educational Specifications, a technical document that describes the same specifications and functional requirements in compliance with State of California regulations. Both documents incorporate legal code requirements, published best design practices, and input from stakeholders who use OUSD facilities. IMPLEMENTATION
The goal of OUSDs strategic vision: Community Schools, Thriving Students is to create a Full Service Community School District that serves the whole child, eliminates inequity, and provides each child with excellent teachers for every day. To this end, school facilities must no only be high quality learning environments, but also support a variety of wrap-around services and community-based activities. This document describes physical design specifications and functional requirements for rooms, building systems, and school grounds, and includes additional guidelines to properly accommodate new patterns of uses, enable shared access, and provide improved security throughout the day.
By establishing a consistent framework for the design of all capital projects, facilities built by the district will meet equitable standards of high quality, performance, and functionality. From this common starting point, design teams will engage stakeholders in order to assess the unique characteristics of the site and develop an understanding of the school programs distinct identity and needs. As a result, each project will produce individualized architectural outcomes. Sustainability is a guiding principle for all projects. OUSDs Design Guidelines align with
New construction projects should be able to implement the full set of specified criteria, while renovation projects may be constrained by site features or existing structural elements at the project site. In such cases, the cost of each design requirement will be weighed and valued against the benefit it provides. New Construction New construction projects should adhere to all relevant specifications, while design teams should actively engage the school community to gather additional input on the desired outcomes. Renovations/Modernizations Renovations should adhere to these specifications in so much as meeting the required specifications does not drastically change the planned scope of work. If a site or facility has features that make full implementation infeasible, design teams may explore alternative options in consultation with the Districts Facilities Department and school leadership.
This is a living document that should be updated on a regular basis with additional input and new facility requirements.

Introduction
Purpose
Mission + Vision
Oakland Unified School District is becoming a Full Service Community District that serves the whole child, eliminates inequity, and provides each child with excellent teachers for every day. All students will graduate from high school. As a result, they are caring, competent, and critical thinkers, fullyinformed, engaged and contributing citizens, and prepared to succeed in college and career.
The Districts Facilities Master Plan and the subsequent voter approval for Measure J has established the following directives for school facility construction and improvement projects: Educational Innovation Safety Sustainability Classrooms must be capable of supporting multiple modes of teaching, hands-on learning, and the evolving educational technologies
Flexibility
School facilities are used for decades and sometimes even longer. In order for these spaces to remain effective in the future, all facilities, but classrooms especially must be able to support a variety of activities and adapt to evolving pedagogies and technology. All resources will be used in service of Oaklands children, youth, and families. School sites should be highly used by school programs, community partners, and the neighborhoods surrounding them. Other sites should be creatively utilized to generate the maximum benefit for OUSD and its students. OUSD must adopt an equity-centered facility investment strategy, and improvements should support quality school options in every Oakland neighborhood. Facility improvements should maintain and support the schools unique identity, even when altering the physical environment. School Facilities must include space for the arts and music, athletics, wellness, and student support services. Schools will help students embrace culture and creativity, develop leadership and teamwork skills, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Establishing and supporting a diverse portfolio of school options in Oakland will lower District costs, allow OUSD to allocate its resources most efficiently, and improve educational outcomes for all of Oaklands children. Oakland Unified School District Design Guidelines 9
School facilities should consist of high-performance buildings that use water and energy efficiently while contributing to the quality of Oaklands built environment. As much as possible, sustainable systems should be passive solutions that are simple to operate, maintain and repair.
Students at and around school sites must be safe from earthquakes, crime, and automobile accidents.
Goals + Priorities
Emergency Preparedness Clearly designate a place on-site to store emergency materials. If the site is a designated Disaster Recovery Center, comply with FEMA requirements. Neighborhood Connections Identify opportunities to connect to community resources that provide services not available on campus (e.g. public library, park, youth center). Consider parking needs for neighboring organizations for increased parking spots during community events. Consider access and pedestrian routes to public transportation. Schools may require office space for a community manager, located near main office. Signage Install lit signage that clearly identifies the main entry point to a campus in compliance with Building & Grounds signage guidelines. Post a campus map that highlights and provides clear directions for spaces commonly used by the community. Provide display space or electronic signage to communicate school news and information (special instructions, event notices, etc.). Clearly identify/label all buildings on the exterior, and rooms on the interior. Showcase sustainable building features, with labels and explanations of their importance. In rooms with reconfigurable walls, post signage describing how to properly maintain effective ventilation, heating, and lighting.
Sustainability Consider methods to reduce water usage in recreational and landscaped areas. Consider installing a water management system to monitor usage and reduce consumption. Consider methods to reduce energy use. Use site-based features and web-based portals to connect sustainable school design features with school programs and classwork. When possible, and site conditions are suitable, consider installing photovoltaic panels to generate renewable energy. HVAC systems should be centrally controlled and individual rooms should have controls to adjust this temperature up or down within a set range. During non-school hours, administrative custodial staff must be able to control the HVAC system for special events or community use.
10
Design Guidelines
HVAC/Climate Control Ventilation systems should bring copious amounts of fresh air to classroom areas. Air filtration should ensure high indoor air quality. Materials should not emit volatile organic compounds. Windows, temperature and ventilation should be controllable by teachers in classrooms. Climate controls should be compatible with the districts energy management system Classrooms, offices wings and multipurpose rooms should have controls to adjust temperature settings within a range set by the central control system. Spaces that may be used for community functions after school hours should have on-site climate control systems accessible by site administrators or custodians. Avoid placing ceiling fans under lights to eliminate flickers that may adversely affect students with special needs.
Systems Mechanical Rooms may not double as storage space, learning environments, offices, or fulfill any other space needs. Consider ways to generate renewable energy on-site and install a monitoring system that enables such systems to connect to educational programs. Comply with East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) guidelines for waterefficient fixtures and reclaimed water (where available) to reduce sewage conveyance from toilets and urinals.
Custodial Support Place custodial utility rooms throughout campuses. At least one custodial utility room per building floor should be outfitted with running water. Custodial utility rooms require space for storing mops, brooms, and cleaning supplies. Place custodial utility rooms with access to the school grounds such that custodial staff are able to easily maintain the entire schoolyard and all outdoor areas. Custodial staff require at least one storage room on campus where bulk orders may be kept, and where minor equipment repairs can be completed. Waste collection areas should be of a size to accommodate 3 or 4 large receptacles, as schools may participate in multiple sorting programs. Custodial staff require an office with storage and a comfortable work space.

Technology
The use of computer technology and access to digital resources are important elements of the Common Core Curriculum and Smarter Balanced Testing programs. Accordingly, facilities should align with the requirements of with current district Technology Implementation Specifications, which support these goals. Facilities should meet the following criteria:
Communications and Information Technology School facilities should accommodate technological updates over time. Technology infrastructure should be housed in such a way that provides access for reconfiguration. Equip instructional spaces, multipurpose areas, main hallways, and exterior locations with an intercom and bell system that allows administrators to deliver schoolwide announcements and implement a bell schedule. Equip classrooms with a phone and paging system that can make and receive calls, and enables communication with other classrooms and administrators.
Power Appropriate cabling and outlets should be installed in each room to support a variety of network technologies and equipment. When appropriate, at least one wall should have outlets running along the entire length of the room. When possible, outlets should be located at counter-height. Installation of power and wiring should facilitate the ease of maintenance. Consider sustainable design elements to reduce energy consumption.
Network Access & WiFi All classrooms should have network access. It is OUSDs goal that all students have access to a WiFi connection. Provide sufficient network bandwidth such that there is sufficient capacity for computers at least at a 1:11 ratio to students enrolled in a given school. Set up systems so that additional bandwidth may be added in the future without facility renovation projects. When possible, mount a WiFi port with the classroom projector and lay all cabling through the ceiling conduit. Avoid installing the WiFi access point in the corners of a room. Consider the need for additional bandwidth capacity to support personal devices, or ways to limit network access. Server Rooms Schools should have a secure Main Distribution Frame (MDF) and Intermediate Distribution Frames (IDF) as needed. These MDFs and IDFs should be separate from all other functions, such as custodial and maintenance rooms. Server rooms must be well-ventilated and temperature controlled to manage over heating and enable proper maintenance.
12
Design Guidelines
Entrances & Exits All classrooms doors should provide a view panel, either within the door itself or adjacent to it. Consider providing an adjustable shade or blinds for privacy control of the view panel. Make individual rooms or a set of rooms independently securable to allow site administrators to share certain parts of campus for other programs All doors must be lockable from the interior
Restrooms Restrooms should be close to classrooms There should be separate restrooms for children and adults. All kindergarten classrooms must have an adjoining restroom Classrooms used by some Programs for Exceptional Children may have additional restroom requirements Use water-efficient fixtures and reclaimed water (where available) to reduce sewage conveyance from toilets and urinals
Water Stations Locate hydration stations throughout campus to provide easy access for students to drink and refill water bottles.
13
classrooms
OUSDs classrooms will be modern, functional spaces that support teaching and learning. In order to maximize sustainability and simplify maintenance and upkeep, designs should align with the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) best practices. Classrooms should also be flexible so as to support a variety of curricular pedagogies, and accommodate changing technologies.
The standard classroom guidelines are intended to support the needs of programs and curriculums at all school levels, however certain programs may require a variation on this model. Refer to the guidelines for Kindergarten/ Childhood Development Center classrooms, Laboratory and Studio classrooms, Performing Arts classrooms, and Special Day Class classrooms for further details on these spaces.

Classrooms
STEM Oakland schools at all levels feature programs focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Classrooms should accommodate flexible configurations for the hands-on project-based learned associated with these programs.
Technology It is essential that classrooms have the ability to support technology as a teaching tool, however the technologies used in a classroom will evolve and be replaced dozens of times throughout the 100+ year life-cycle of a school building. Rather than update the necessary systems for each new generation of educational technology, the following guidelines describe how to integrate flexible infrastructure and modular fittings into the design of new buildings at the start. This solution will ensure that classrooms continue functioning as effective, modern learning environments even as the demands and applications of technology change.

Facilities used by Programs for Exceptional Children should be planned in conjunction with program administrators. Each programs specific and unique needs will vary based on the type of program. Inclusion The inclusion of students with special needs in classes with their peers can be facilitated through elements of campus and classroom design. Many attributes of a classroom aligned with the 21st Century Classroom guidelines will support OUSD Programs for Exceptional Childrens goal to include every student in the least restrictive environment as much as possible. Examples of design features that support inclusion are: A variety of lockable storage for special equipment that can be secured and accessed only by teachers or staff. Distributed Sound for with hearing impairments. Adequate technology infrastructure Furniture, materials, and storage space comparable to all other students in the classroom. Dedicated Facilities For students with more comprehensive needs, facilities must be planned in conjunction with the Programs for Exceptional Children. These facilities should be designed and modified according to specific and unique needs. Classrooms in dedicated facilities should not be separated from the other classrooms, and it is preferable that they be located under the same roof. For these dedicated facilities, there should
