Therefore, no major mechanical, plumbing, or electrical work was required to COVID ready the building other than a minor change in the number of air changes per hour, which was accomplished through by some reprogramming of the automated building controls system. To further assist with COVID, we implemented the following social distancing strategies: • Provided layouts of student learning spaces and eating spaces with State recommended social distancing criteria • Call out locations for additional medical waiting areas and quarantine areas • Highlight potential entry and exit areas, note one directional flow in corridors and stairs, and design signage to help people with social distancing through the facility. • Provided desk to dividers • Provided rolling tack board partitions that can be used to create temporary walls for additional classroom space in project areas.
