Houston Independent School District Robert L. Frost Elementary School PROJECT PROFILE PROJECT DESCRIPTION Frost Elementary is a new replacement school for 750 students with 85,700 square feet. The new facility is a one-story steel-framed, brick veneer exterior with metal siding in selected areas. A central north/south entry hall contains the administration suite and the library/media center. A linear east/west secondary hall has grade clusters and labs/specialist classrooms. Activity zoning is related to noise levels. Geometric shapes in utility headers and wisdom word walk at the entrance reinforce the school as a learning tool. The school has numerous energy efficient mechanical and architectural features that adhere to the USGBC green building design strategies. The school is designed for LEED certification. SUSTAINABLE SITES ■ 11 acre site - building footprint minimized - 75% to be restored and protected ■ Maximized most of the site for open green space ■ Cool roof; roofing surfaces have low reflectance WATER EFFICIENCY ■ Low water usage with native and naturalized plants and vegetation ■ Water efficiency – no landscape irrigation system or potable water ■ Low water use plumbing fixtures and automatic shut-off faucets ■ Visible water storage tanks for irrigation use ENERGY & ATMOSPHERE ■ Building systems designed to achieve 21% efficiency above standard baseline building ■ Light sensors in the main corridors and classrooms & High efficient glazing ■ All mechanical equipment and kitchen refrigeration units operate with non-CFC based refrigerants MATERIALS & RESOURCES ■ Regional and local materials used: brick, paint, metal roof & siding, aluminum windows ■ Materials with recycled content: (toilet partitions, carpet, doors, fiberglass insulation ■ HISD has a recycling program that salvages paper, plastic, aluminum and glass ■ Construction waste management INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ■ The mechanical system is designed to meet or exceed ASHRAE Standard ■ Construction indoor air quality management plan for during and before occupancy ■ Building equipped with CO2 monitors ■ Low volatile organic compound (VOC) paints and adhesives were used throughout the project, also including Green Label carpet ■ Day lighting/ exterior views - 97% of regularly occupied spaces ■ Operable windows for natural ventilation INNOVATION IN DESIGN ■ School building used as a Teaching Tool – Math formulas and shapes integrated in design – Uplifting words of wisdom reinforces Schools core educational mission ■ A rainwater collection system – tree and shrub irrigation ■ Implemented ‘Green Courses’ - parts of school building as part of science & social studies curriculum Photography courtesy of Rick Gardner Owner: Houston Independent School District (HISD) Architect: RDC Architects Civil Engineer: ESPA CORP, Inc.
