EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The new Instructional Services Center (ISC) is the replacement of an earlier facility which was functionally obsolete and was demolished. The tenants of the ISC include Student Nutritional Services, Student Records, Media Services, Internal Communications, and Staff Development. Unfinished space has been reserved for the future occupancy of the Center for Technology and Education. The conference, meeting, and training spaces will be shared by all tenants. The collocation of the Center for Technology and Education with the office of Staff Development in close proximity with Media Services, and the broadcast studio, is expected to be very beneficial to the District.
The new facility, like most modern office buildings, must adapt to the changing needs of current and future tenants. This flexibility will be achieved by using furnishings and semi-permanent "demising" walls to define tenant spaces. The Board appointed The Architectural Practice, Inc. on April 24, 2007, to complete the design of the tenant spaces and prepare the necessary bidding documents.
Negotiations are now complete and Board approval is required for expenditure in the amount of $291,980 to The Architectural Practice, Inc.
