Issues
Sussex Tech is an award winning school and
educational program, in spite of its facilities. The
original building was constructed in 1960 with additions
and annexes and outbuildings in 1964, 1970, 1975, 1986,
1995 and 2000.
The change from partial day attendance to all day
comprehensive educational program added another
building addition and renovation in 1995; but little
renovation of the earlier wings has occurred. Updates to
the facility for program changes have been sporadic and
locally concocted. While outstanding maintenance and
on-going technology updates have kept the program
running smoothly, the numerous buildings on campus
have caused a number of long-term problems that need to
be addressed in the present day.
A campus of 20+ buildings cannot be adequately
secured for student safety and security. Students often
have a building change between every class. Parking and
drives are difficult to separate from the public areas and
entries. Control of the main entry has recently been
added by hiring a full time “security” staff member to
“greet” every visitor that comes into the front door.
Transportation and traffic safety are an additional
problem on the campus. Many students drive due to the
duration of county-wide bus routes and the large
percentage of students involved in work-study programs
and internships. The staff, students, and buses are
intermingled in a labyrinth of asphalt and parking.
A campus-wide building assessment has been
performed as a first step to the masterplanning
process. This assessment has revealed that the
majority of the earliest construction is un-insulated
solid masonry walls and inadequately sloping roofs.
The outbuildings were all constructed utilizing the
cheapest possible construction in the prefab metal
building model and are extremely inefficient and
aging quickly. The buildings are not of permanent
construction methods, but more those of storage and
warehouse value.
Numerous buildings also contribute to a severe
energy problem. Each building has its own energy
plant. The school campus has 9 boiler rooms, one
large chiller and cooling tower, and 17 rooftop air
handling units. The problem is compounded when
students must move from one building to another
with every class change. Doors are constantly
opened and all the heat is repeatedly lost from the
halls and classes. Most of the outbuildings are only
heated, with little or no fresh-air and have no cooling
system.

Goals: “Under one Roof”
Goals of the Board, Superintendent and Staff all focus on the single goal of “Under one Roof.” This includes
moving all the students into a single structure, improving the site, and renovating the existing building.
SPECIFIC GOALS:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Improve student security
Update to meet codes for safety and health
Improve building energy efficiency and indoor air environment quality
Improve expanding and new program facilities
Separate buses from students and parking
Separate the public from the students on site and in the building
Provide facilities for the complete high school experience
Improve parking safety and quantity
FACILITY GOALS by the leadership team
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Create consistent learning space
Bring all areas up to current code
Create a safe environment for the school population
Create a single point of entry and student drop off
Climate comfort all areas with energy conservation and good air quality
Establish attractive interiors and exteriors
Utilize low maintenance finishes which are easy to clean and long lasting
Develop technology infrastructure for present and future needs
Enhance public use and have sports and band events fully accessible and secure from the balance of building

Solutions:
By removing the outbuildings and adding one major addition to the existing
building, we can clarify the site circulation, safety, and increase parking, while
renewing the facility for several major programs and providing the missing
elements of the high school program. The construction of one major addition
allows for staged, phased renovations of the existing wings without relocating
students too dramatically. The Adult Ed Program can be additionally provided
for in some separate outbuildings, lessening the overlap of jurisdictions.

Site Analysis – Paved Areas
• An enormous
amount of the
campus area is
paved, and is
very inefficient in
parking extent.
Current parking
is 540+/-.
Total paved area = 363,094 +/-
DO
• Fire Lanes must
be greater than
10’ and less
than 50’ from
the building.
Gates
• Bus loading
takes part of a
parking lot –
mixing traffic
and students.
Gates
The front drive is gated at
night, and becomes a deadend; thereby requiring a
turnaround and two way traffic.

Design Features include:
• Lockers will be at first floor level with a wrestling room above on a
mezzanine open to the health/gym below.
• Showroom for the auto program is designed to display special
projects and participate in the “ car dealers” environment
• Operable walls will separate adjoining programs and classes for
flexibility (shown thus:
)
• Link to the existing classroom building will be overhead glass
rolling doors to bring materials through to the courtyard, in
addition to fire exit doors.
• Dining area is open to lobby for theater and Athletic events

Renovation Options
Solutions for renovations of
existing classroom areas include
installing a new steel roof
structure on top of the existing
roof deck to create slope and an
attic for HVAC, plumbing and
electrical systems delivery. The
addition would then have a similar
roof construction method.
