Building Design <br />The school is designed with two distinct functional and visual sections at two different heights. <br />Housing primarily administrative offices is the low- slung, single story front section of the <br />building. The western end of this section is a service area, and on the eastern end, infant and <br />toddler rooms. Recessed from the single -story front and deeper than that area wide are two - <br />story classroom wings to the left and right of the school entrance, forming a u- shaped building <br />centered around an interior courtyard at the rear of the school. Pre - kindergarten classrooms are <br />located on the ground floor of the eastern wing; all other classrooms are for kindergarten <br />students. A multipurpose room, community room, and stepped learning area for the ground floor <br />connection between the two -story wings on either side. Looking at the front of the school, an 11' <br />high mesh panel screen connects the front of the classroom wings. <br />The single -story portion of the building will be finished with ivory- colored cement fiber board <br />paneling applied horizontally and wrapping around the sides save for a front entrance portico <br />just east of center which is recessed and finished in cedar wood siding. Cedar wood siding will <br />also cover the front and rear fapades of the classroom wings, and the sides of the building <br />forming the inner courtyard on the ground floor only. The sides of the two -story classroom wings <br />and the second story of the interior courtyard walls will be finished in cement fiber board <br />paneling applied vertically in grey. Windows of square and rectangle shapes are framed in <br />brightly - colored metal flashing that slightly protrudes from the wall surface on all sides and <br />sections of the school. The interior courtyard formed by the u- shaped classroom wings will have <br />bright yellow exterior staircases extending away from the second story of each 2nd -story <br />classroom wing. <br />Site Design <br />The site has no public street frontage; the sole vehicular and pedestrian access to the site will <br />be at the southwest corner via easement from the church; all traffic to B2K will enter here. <br />Stopping at the stop sign at the property entrance, car traffic will immediately turn right and drive <br />along the southern parcel boundary where there are 60 parking spaces available on both sides <br />of the drive aisle. Car traffic is then routed north and then eastward in front of the school, <br />forming a traffic loop. Parents picking up or dropping off students can pull out of the traffic aisle <br />into a drop -off lane that stretches from the southeast corner of the lot to the school entrance. <br />13 <br />15 <br />r� <br />%D `v V l Ii�✓N4 �1I/ /AKIN <br />III/ <br />yn / uJY' Yf'm n%( <br />�1 6 <br />� <br />/� <br />�O �9% <br />III � � <br />� <br />0 <br />� <br />j <br />ry <br />i <br />The single -story portion of the building will be finished with ivory- colored cement fiber board <br />paneling applied horizontally and wrapping around the sides save for a front entrance portico <br />just east of center which is recessed and finished in cedar wood siding.
