Master Planning Overview

A

successful facilities master plan measures the future needs of the district, taking into account the current state of facilities and providing solutions to problems before they actually happen.

By taking a proactive approach, districts demonstrate proper stewardship of the community’s financial resources. A master planning process that is fully transparent shows that funds are being spent in a cost-effective way to meet the community’s educational needs.

The most successful master plans are drafted with full input from the community. By engaging stakeholders in planning for the future, it serves as a unifying process that brings the community together and builds support for your vision.

South Bend Master Plan

South Bend, IN

As part of their strategic planning, South Bend Community School Corporation has hired Fanning Howey to develop a District Wide Facilities Master Plan which includes educational facility planning for 34 buildings and 41 total sites.

PROCESS

As part of their strategic planning, South Bend Community School Corporation has hired Fanning Howey to develop a District Wide Facilities Master Plan, which includes educational facility planning for 34 buildings and 41 total sites. The Master Plan will provide guidance for rightsizing the district facilities and direction for future capital improvements over five years. The changes regarding district facilities consider four components: educational framework, demographics, conditions and funding.

Phase one included a community engagement process focusing on secondary education. The school corporation and the Fanning Howey team hosted two public meetings and sent two surveys to gather input regarding the district’s facilities master plan.

Phase two will begin this fall and focus on higher education efforts and rightsizing their elementary education program. This phase will include additional surveys and three more public meetings to engage the community and receive input.

The full master plan will be completed by December 2022.

Carmel High School Master Plan

Carmel, IN

Fanning Howey has collaborated with Carmel Clay Schools over the past 20 years to expand and improve the Carmel High School campus.

When Carmel Clay Schools wanted to add a Freshman Center, Fanning Howey worked closely with Carmel educators to analyze the existing building and programs. Although the district originally thought the freshman center would be a standalone building on campus, Fanning Howey’s space utilization study identified a large amount of underused space which was available for repurposing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, CCS educators and Fanning Howey architects master planned an addition that created an attached freshman center. This arrangement created a school-within-a-school and also maximized the ability of freshman to access specialty programs throughout the high school.

Fanning Howey continues to plan and design all improvements at Carmel High School, including a full renovation and addition to the Performing Arts department and a new additional 50-meter competition pool.

Zionsville High School Master Plan

Zionsville, IN

Since 1998, Fanning Howey has partnered with Zionsville Community Schools on a continuous planning process that managed growth, moved the district toward 21st century learning and resulted in several community supported referenda and operating levys.

As Zionsville High School grew throughout the 2000s, the prevailing wisdom said that a new second high school would be in the works. But a Fanning Howey-led master planning process uncovered the community’s desires to keep a single location. The resulting master plan continues to expand the high school in cost-effective and strategic ways. The process also resulted in one of the first successful school district referendum votes in the state of Indiana.

Center Grove High School Planning

Greenwood, IN

A three-phase building plan is reinvigorating physical education and academics at Center Grove High School.

After winning an invitation-only design competition for Center Grove’s new student activity center, Fanning Howey has gone on to design two additional phases to the growing high school campus. The original student activity center design included a plan for a future 50-meter Olympic-sized swimming pool. The client has since chosen our firm to design a 54-classroom addition.

Early planning concepts created a logical and efficient framework for reimagining the east side of the high school campus. Precast panel construction lowered the cost of the athletic spaces, while the academic pavilion location and design brings natural light into every classroom.

Detroit Public Schools Detroit, Michigan

Over a span of seven years, enrollment in Detroit Public Schools declined by more than 70,000 students. At the request of the Emergency Financial Manager, Fanning Howey created a comprehensive rightsizing plan that aligned existing facilities with future enrollment and curriculum needs.

A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS

Using academic, enrollment, demographic, financial, utilization, and community data, our team worked to identify surplus facilities, predict enrollment patterns, and plan capital investments to best serve the existing and potential student population.

After an intensive initial planning and programming phase, our team provided graphic and presentation support necessary to convey a complicated and emotional message to parents, students, and the community. Future efforts included an on-site analysis of each school that would receive students from closed schools in future years. This established what work needed to be completed over the summer to ensure that students had adequate facilities for the new school year. It also laid the groundwork for the district’s 2009 Bond Program, which consisted of $500.5 million of school construction.

BOND PROGRAM

Fanning Howey served as the architectural component of the Program Management team that guided the district’s $500.5 million construction program. The program included 7 new schools and renovations to 10 existing schools. Providing cutting-edge Career Technical environments and respecting multiple historic buildings were two main portions of the effort.
