ABSTRACT
The Ohio School Facilities Commission has published this
manual intended to assure uniform, energy efficient, cost effective, easily
maintainable, and technologically advanced educational facilities for its
public schools. It provides a critical analysis of individual spaces and
material/system components necessary for the construction of elementary and
secondary schools and combination facilities. The manual allows the school
district choice within specific guidelines of the State's Classroom
Assistance Programs. It stipulates the cost per square foot for three grade
configurations in nine regions in the State as well as the square footage
allowed per child according to grade level. Each of the following programs
are detailed: Building Assistance/Classroom Facilities Assistance Program;
Emergency School Building Repair Program; Big Eight Renovations and Repairs;
Energy Conservation; and Disability Access Program. Summarized program
appropriations data conclude the manual.

As Chairman of the Ohio School Facilities Commission, I am pleased to present our first annual
report. During the first year of existence, the Commission embarked on a mission to consolidate existing
programs while establishing new ones. The purpose of the Commission, through its three programs, is to
Paolo De Maria
effectively and efficiently coordinate the dissemination of state funds to Ohio's public school districts for
Director
the construction and renovation of school facilities. The Commission has strived to fulfill its mission and
carry out its responsibilities as charged by Section 3318.30 of the Ohio Revised Code.
Doug White
The Commission offers this annual report as an exhibit of its first year's efforts. The Commission is
proud to report that all of its programs are operational and funding is being provided to school districts to

The Ohio School Facilities Commission looks forward to building upon the successes of our first year

Executive Director
In our first year, the Ohio School Facilities Commission staff focused on developing programs and
88 East Broad Street
policies that would enable us to disburse funding to Ohio's public schools as quickly as possible, yet
Suite 1400
provide the proper oversight required on state funded capital construction projects. Establishing the
Columbus, Ohio 43215
appropriate public and private balance will continue to be a priority. Creating and implementing the Ohio
School Design Manual was a major accomplishment for FY '98. Guidelines for design, systems, and materials
614/466-6290
for construction detailed in the Manual will significantly reduce the design time while establishing a
consistent quality level for our new school facilities across the state.
We have accomplished much in our first year and are pleased to present our first annual report.

In May, 1997,
Governor Voinovich
signed into law
Senate Bill 102,
which created the
Ohio School
Facilities
Commission.
History of the
Commission
The Ohio School Facilities Commission (the Commission) was created in May of 1997
The
vhen Governor Voinovich signed into law Senate Bill 102 of the 122nd General Assembly.
:ommission consists of three voting members: the Director of Administrative Services, Director
if the Office of Budget and Management, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and four non-
funded
,oting, legislative members. The Commission provides funding and oversight for all state
"to
(-12 school facilities. Chapter 3318.31 of the Ohio Revised Code directs the Commission

)rogram... including making and entering into all contracts, commitments, and agreements,
of its duties and the execu-
:xecute all instruments, necessary or incidental to the performance

In addition to these duties, the Commission also oversees: the Emergency Repair
Big 8
)rogram, which directs funds to poor districts to repair their most urgent needs; the
districts; the
)rogram, which funds major repairs and renovations to the eight largest urban
Disabilities

required the Commission to begin their classroom facility assessments with eligible
or
districts having the lowest adjusted valuation per pupil.
The Commission contracts with architects on a periodic basis to provide district

wide classroom facility assessments and develop master plans for districts which await

funding. The Commission assessed and determined the classroom facility needs of 18
districts in FY '98. Of the 18 districts, 16 passed their bond issue/levy.
The Commission most recently performed assessments and determined the classroom
Classroom Facilities
facility needs of 19 districts, 17 of which will be on the ballot in November 1998. The Com-
Assistance Projects
mission will continue to assess the classroom facility needs of eligible districts so that the
1997 and 1998
districts are in a position to access funds as they become available.
The aforementioned assessment process includes an on-site evaluation by the architect,
which begins with a meeting with the district staff. The architect will complete an appraisal form
for each classroom facility. After compiling
1
information on each of the district's buildings, the
architect develops an assessment report, a
master plan and a statement of probable cost.
The Assessment Report describes the current
condition of the district's classroom facilities.
The Master Plan consists of narrative and
graphic components describing the architect's
proposed recommendations for resolving the
district's building inadequacies. The Statement of
Probable Costs identifies the cost for rebuilding
the district's facilities.
In addition to contracting with architects to
perform the district's classroom facility assess-
ment, the Commission also contracts with
Northwest Elementary
educational planners to determine the district's student population or Average Daily Member-
School, Scioto County
ship projected over a period of ten years. The Commission uses this projection to determine
the number of students to be housed.

The Commission in striving to become as technologically
advanced as possible, will manage the projects electronically with
7.onstruction managers taking the lead role. It is the hope of the
2ommission that by communicating electronically, projects will
project team members
un more smoothly with fewer delays. All
:Construction Manager, Architect School District Representative
ind Commission Representative) will be expected to communi-
;ate electronically with each other to facilitate timely responses.
The construction managers will communicate monthly to the
2ommission as to the status of the projects in their region includ-
critical budget and
ing progress photos. This report will include
The New Symmes Valley Elementary School,
schedule information at the field level. Other changes have been
Lawrence County
made to the past program to expedite the building process. As an
example, the contractor payment process will be streamlined.
The Commission hopes to attract the best contractors to work on
classroom facility projects and toward this goal, we are reducing
the paperwork that is inherent with a construction project. The
Commission plans to continually improve upon the means and
methods of project delivery to school districts throughout the state
of Ohio.
Design Manual
One of the Commission's accomplishments was the
completion of the Ohio School Design Manual. The Design
Manual is intended to assure uniform, energy efficient, functional,
cost effective, high quality, easily maintainable, forward thinking,
educational, and technologically advanced facilities. The Design

Manual provides a critical analysis of individual spaces and

Initial educational programming and early design efforts
have been reduced. Consequently, the reduction of the
design/construction process will result in less project
cost. The Design Manual allows the school district
choice contained within specific guidelines of the pro-
be used
gram. The objective was to produce a guide to
by the school district's architect to translate the educa-
tional needs of the school district into a functional and
appropriately designed facility. The Design Manual
stipulates the cost per square foot for three grade
configurations in nine regions in the state. The Design
Manual also stipulates the square foot allowed per child
according to grade level. The Design Manual will be
updated periodically so that it remains current.
