ADMINISTRATIVE FACILITIES PLANNING, SPACE PROGRAMMING, AND POTENTIAL CONSOLIDATION STUDY

Montgomery County Public Schools has issued solicitation 9923.1 for an Administrative Facilities Planning, Space Programming, and Potential Consolidation Study. The primary objective of this study is to provide the agency with a comprehensive understanding of how its administrative facilities are currently utilized and how employee work patterns are evolving. The scope includes determining the specific space needs of various administrative divisions, establishing planning assumptions for personal and shared workspaces, and identifying operational requirements and adjacency needs for different departments. The study will evaluate the overall space requirements for administrative functions and explore the potential opportunities and implications of consolidating facilities. This includes analyzing the operational and planning-level cost implications of various alternative approaches. The final outcome will be a set of recommendations and decision points to guide the agency in future planning phases. Supporting data for this effort includes detailed Facility Condition Assessments for several Rockville locations, including the Carver Educational Services Center, Rocking Horse Road Center, the Former Carl Sandburg Learning Center, and English Manor Elementary School, which highlight existing structural, MEPF, and accessibility deficiencies.
