PURPOSE AND PRINCIPLES
1.
PURPOSE
The Killeen Independent School District is committed to creating high-quality educational environments –
places that provide well-planned, high-performing, healthy school environments that foster student
achievement and well-being, as well as being centers of community.
The “Facilities Design and Construction Standards” establishes and ensures consistent representation of
requirements and quality standards for those environments to all members of the Design Teams for KISD
facilities. It is based on the current curricula, teaching methodologies, student groupings, structural
functionality, intended use requirements, and site constraints of the District. It reflects the District’s
experience in building and operating schools to balance the needs for instructional functionality with
aesthetics, practical comforts, sustainability, accessibility, ease of maintenance and operation, and assurance
of safety so that all students, staff and community members feel welcome, safe, and proud of their schools
– all while reflecting the wise and efficient use of limited land and public resources.
Architects and engineers shall follow the requirements and standards presented
here for the planning and design of renovations, modernization, reconstruction,
and new school construction. The intent of the FDCS is to serve as a
foundation for all phases from concept to occupation, not to stifle creativity or
innovation. If a design professional feels that varying from specific
requirements, while still meeting the intended design requirement and it is
desirable for a specific project, it may be possible to incorporate the variations
into the design with written approval of the District’s Executive Director for
Facilities Services, Deputy Superintendent, or Superintendent.

The FDCS incorporates and complements the policies, requirements, and standards of other KISD
documents that direct the design of school facilities (you may CTRL+CLICK on the links below). The
Facilities Services Directorate will update these policies, requirements, and standards on a quarterly basis.
We will publish interim changes periodically and post them as a change to the existing document until the
District Superintendent reviews and elects to incorporate all changes into this document. Visit the Board

d.
Part 1 – general items, purpose and principles
Part 2 – functional and relational planning and design criteria; including general environmental
and sustainability issues; and
Part 3 – detailed information on material choices, system design criteria, requirements, by
Specifications Divisions on each major technical discipline.
Part 4 – includes submittal checklists for the various project phases.
The references and links to requirements and standards that KISD includes in design and construction include:
e.
The Code that governs the educational specifications, capacity, size, and number of functional
spaces of each school project is the Texas Administrative Code, Title 10, Part 2 (Texas

“Guide Specifications:” KISD applies standardized construction specifications in CSI format to
define the materials and systems acceptable to the District, including considerations of economy,
performance, maintenance, and operations. The Guide Specifications often include alternative
choices for materials and equipment. These Guide Specifications must be edited by the
Architect and reviewed for approval by the KISD Executive Director Facilities Services to
ensure they meet the needs of each specific project.
“Standard Technical Drawings” (Standard Drawings.): These are construction details with
standardized specifications adopted across the district that provide District-wide consistency for
materials, supplies, operations, and safety standards. As technology, design, and energy
efficiencies increase over time, these drawings will supplant older or inefficient drawings as
adopted by the district.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

F.
G.
Learning Environment: The integrated design of district educational facilities will provide
instructional spaces that best facilitate student-teacher interaction in the educational process. As
methods of instruction change or become increasingly interactive and collaborative so, too, must the
space in which the learning is to take place. Therefore, the available space must provide flexibility to
accommodate different teaching styles, a health-enhancing environmental ambience, and enable multiuse for all curricula if practical.
Architectural Quality: The central Texas region is rich in history, fauna, and its geological
formations. Bringing these qualities and elements into the site plan and design of the facility will tie
the appearance and character of each school to our surrounding culture. The structural aesthetics
should be pleasing and stimulating to students, teachers, parents, and the surrounding community while
providing a welcoming and attractive place to visit or to spend the day. In the planning and design for
the reconstruction or renovation existing facilities and grounds, the new materials and design of the
structures will be architecturally compatible with the existing buildings and site. As the population of
the district continues to grow, the designs of our structures, site placement, traffic and pedestrian
circulation as an integral part of the district’s Capital Improvement Master Plan.
Innovation in the “Learningscape”: The core functionality of the KISD educational space focuses
entirely on student learning through user-centered planning and design for all schools. Input from the
faculty, administration, and local community are integral parts in the design process and center around
collaborative learning spaces; ease of accessibility; integration of faculty and students into the day-today learning; and flexible environments to support a range of learning activities. Enabling criteria
include, but are not limited to cheerful and imaginative spaces that are open and inviting to occupants;
variety in materials, colors, and structure that excites the senses; inclusion of small learning
communities; select site placement; and quality and enduring building materials.
Pride in Ownership: Ownership begins with an individual sense of belonging and uniqueness and
grows by fostering a desire to contribute the common goals of success and synergy among the whole.
From concept through occupation, the design of our educational and supporting administrative facilities
must include a sense of pride from the materials, colors, aesthetics, and prominence in the community
and site placement as they will serve as a landmark for 50 years or more.
Flexibility: The design of schools and facilities must anticipate future growth across the district – not
designing for “the now.” The intended use of a structure must be conceptualized “outside the box” as
changes in systems, instructional methods, technology, equipment, and requirements will certainly
impact future costs and designs. The “edge” or undefined boundary of education is constantly
expanding, but our facilities must remain affordable in scale and use. Planning efficient multi-use
spaces (studios/activity based learning vs. classrooms/lecture based learning),
structural/mechanical/electrical/plumbing/safety/security “tie-ins” for additional buildings, and creating
small learning communities and options for unforeseen changes are imperative for future design
considerations – built in flexibility.
Learning Environments: The learning space is equally as critical as the process of learning itself.
The design of schools must consider and integrate varying levels of educational methods, elements, and
scale of audience. Providing the opportunity for students to create and learn simultaneously and bridge
the gap between knowing and knowledge through provisions in space, interactivity, and technology
from an individual level to a collective group level. Building facilities with this concept in mind
enables the reduction or increase of actual or perceived scale of the learning environment for students.
These integrated learning environments with common affinities, such as common curricula, digital
device interconnectivity (BYOD), themed educational programs and methods, multimedia, age, and
grade are all elements we must consider in future design of schools and facilities.
Accessibility: District facilities must accommodate all students, staff and community members
including the physically disabled and wheelchair-bound, deaf, visually or emotionally impaired –
inclusive rather than exclusive in design. Design shall allow for construction and material tolerances to

accommodate dimensional requirements set by ADA and other codes. Do not design to minimum or
maximum requirements, thus risking potential non-compliant designs.
Safety and Security: Schools must be safe and secure without appearing prison-like. Structures,
fences and site amenities shall be designed to maintain safety, prevent unauthorized access and deter
vandalism. Opportunities to climb to gain access to other floors, roofs, etc. shall be eliminated.
Community Focus: The school, as the center of the neighborhood, must be accessible on evenings
and weekends for joint use of facilities by the community and provision for securing the rest of the site
shall be implemented. The design of our facilities provide for expanding educational, leisure, and
interconnected multi-media opportunities thereby increasing potential revenue and partnerships with
other institutions or organizations as part of a greater community-based facility.
Land Use and Site Planning: As the surrounding communities continue to grow in population, land is
becoming a premium for schools and support facilities. Unless purchased in advance of pending
developments, “prime” land for ideally siting schools and the required grounds for elementary, middle,
and high schools are difficult to predict, fund, and acquire for future construction. Once the developer
acquires land for construction, the District must innovatively site buildings, playgrounds, athletic
venues, vehicular circulation, and parking to meet and achieve educational requirements of the
community.
Sustainability: The District must assertively address the design, renovation, and construction of
existing and facilities for their long-term requirements and environmental impacts, recycling, water
conservation and energy efficiencies. The efficiency of every facility should improve upon the
previous design and make every effort to highlight to the students and community that the District will
do what is taught in being stewards of our future resources.
Maintainability: From the concept design through the construction phases for every facility, the
District will strive to continually integrate material solutions that will minimize future maintenance
requirements. As a reference, over a 30-year period, the initial building costs account for
approximately 2% of the total, while operations and maintenance costs equal 6%, and personnel costs
equal 92%. Selecting materials that enable maintenance savings can be reinvested in educational
initiatives or facility improvements.

LIFE CYCLE SCHEDULE:
It is critical to include the “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO) when specifying materials, systems, and
equipment for educational facilities. You can save very small percentages up front and wind up
paying higher replacement costs more frequently if a balance of expectations and fiscal obligation is
not achieved. Materials and systems installed in facilities, typically, do not have the same 50-year
designed life cycle as the structures in which they are placed. This schedule codifies the industry
average life cycles for materials and systems typically found in educational and administrative
facilities. Decisions to accelerate the life cycle replacement or defer replacement timelines vary due
to many tangible and intangible factors to include mean time between failure (of system or
components), fiscal timing, parts availability, cost of procurement, cost of maintenance, cost of use,
frequency of repairs (reliability), frequency of use, material and technology upgrades, code
compliance, environmental constraints, and many, many more.
The purpose of life cycle analysis is to provide decision makers with the requsite information required
to fully support the educational process by providing equipment and building components with:
1. mechanical resistance and stability
2. safe to operate and in mechanical functionality
3. hygienic and promote a healthy and clean environment
4. minimal noise impact
6. energy efficiency for lighting, heating, cooling, and maintenance
The image below depicts the subsequent three pages of component useful life cycles in years.

Final Contract Documents shall include a series of reviews that include mechanical, electrical,
Structural, plumbing, communications, and other technical area reviews to assure compliance with
the district guidelines and standards. At least one of these reviews will afford the opportunity for
the design committee to examine the plans and specifications as they are completed and before the
board reviews them.
The design committee is to provide input into the design but as the plans progress the role of the
committee becomes more to review and not design the building. This is the job of the architect.
Team Summary Report
When the construction and occupancy is complete, the committee will assemble one last time for a
summary evaluation and discussion, revisiting the process and making any comments, suggestions,
notes, ideas on how the process could be improved. This evaluation should result in a written report
submitted to the Facilities Planning and Construction Department and should occur within one year
of the completion of the project.

Definition
Occurs as a result of district growth, rezoning, school closures, and
anticipated/forecasted Capital Improvements to meet educational
needs. The administration and Board of Trustees has a dialogue to
identify requirements for land/property in closed sessions during
meetings and workshops. This dialogue helps to establish or
determine suitability, acceptability, affordability, and to provide
guidance for acquisition actions. This single programmatic step
provides the most critical information from which to begin the
Capital Improvements Process. Reference TAC, Title 19, Part 2,
Chap 61, CC, Rule §61.1036 and §74.1.
District coordinates through a land broker or procurement
representative to identify sufficient acreage to meet the anticipated
requirements (ES = 12-15 acres, MS = 25-30 acres, HS > 70 acres).
Variances must be taken into account based on the supporting
infrastructure (sewer, water, power, roads), useable terrain, code &
environmental restrictions, and cost per acre.
District procurement planning begins with a like sized facility as a
baseline for FF&E and is tailored based on the occupational and
educational requirements being met by the construction of the
facility.
To ensure the district soundly establishes the standards and
requirements for each project, the Superintendent receives a
decision briefing to approve the Scope of Work for the landscaping,
material selection (interior & exterior), and occupational
expectations, educational capacity, security, IT infrastructure, and
energy efficiencies. Additionally, this will include , the number and
types of students and faculty who will use the facility, the number
and types of spaces, any special equipment requirements, and
specific objectives that the end product will enable.
District staff prepares the appropriate documents (letter of intent,
land offers, legal documents, surveys, rental agreement, lease, or
memorandum of agreement) to present to the Board of Trustees at a
Workshop to gain their support or clarify requirements to justify the
acquisition of land/property meets the future anticipated needs of
the district for the best available value. Due to the level of fidelity
and amount of information provided, it is best to present this as an
information item to gain support for approval or consent at a
subsequent Board of Trustees Meeting.
The ultimate decision for expending capital resources lies with the
Board of Trustees who will make an informed decision based on the
recommendations of the Superintendent and the staff.
The district acquires and maintains professional services as a “Pool
of Professional Services” using proximity to the district,
cost/affordability, past performance, and portfolio as critical
selection criteria.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this section is to communicate KISD’s Design and Construction Standards to the consultants who
design facilities for the district.
This is intended to be a “working document” and the district welcomes your comments in our continuous
improvement efforts to maintain a relevant document. Comments regarding improvement of standards may be
submitted to Bonnie Tomczyk by email at Bonnie.Tomczyk@killeenisd.org. Facilities Services will review and
consider input on a weekly basis during it’s Monday morning Strategic Planning Meetings.
If any standard differs from the consultants’ professional opinion or experience as to the proper materials,
components, or equipment for the project under contract by the consultant, the consultant is requested to communicate
that concern through the KISD Project Manager in writing at the earliest possible phase of the project for review
during the weekly Project Update Meetings. Nevertheless, no provision herein shall alter the contractual or fiduciary
responsibility of the consultant or of Killeen Independent School District, as executed in the Owner-Consultant
Agreement. Neither shall the absence of a particular instruction or detail relieve the consultant of the responsibility to
deliver a comprehensive professional service or final product in accordance with the most current (2015) International
Building Codes and the International Existing Building Codes.
KISD encourages innovative quality design of the architectural and engineering components of the work, but the
following standards listed are not optional. The A/E may propose other materials and systems for KISD
consideration and written approval.
KISD encourages and supports sustainable architectural design. Minimal maintenance requirements, long life cycle,
and flexible designs are paramount to the design of buildings that will last for the next 50 years. During the pre-design
and design stages, discuss with the district possible options for meeting Green Building Council’s “LEED” or Green
Building Initiative’s “Green Globes” Certification criteria in every facet, and address recycling of waste materials and
use of recycled and regionally manufactured products.

Section 12 30 00 – Educational Casework
General Notes on Casework Construction and
Finishes
A.
There are two general categories of casework: (1) solid wood (red oak) and (2) plastic laminate clad.
Some of the solid wood units have inset plastic laminate at the top work surface, as described under
casework types. All exposed surfaces (interior and outside) of all casework are required to be finished.
Some cabinet doors and drawers are indicated under the casework description to have locks. These are
cabinet locks, not cam-locks or locks keyed with the building door hardware.
1.
All cabinet locks within a single room shall be keyed alike. If cabinet requires individually keyed
locks for security purposes, it must be specified and justified in the user’s request during the design
process.
2.
Library Shelving - Solid wood units are required for all library-shelving units.
Standard Elementary Books Shelving units are nominal 48” high, 36” wide and 12” deep, anchored to the floor,
with each unit having a ¼” oak plywood back; base shelf and 2 adjustable shelves. All exposed surfaces shall be
stained and sealed. Units are constructed of solid wood (red oak) glued in strips no less than 1½” wide. The
wood strips shall be matched in wood tone for a consistent uniform appearance. Units shall have 1” thick end
panels. Bases shall be solid hardwood 3½” in height.
Shelves shall be 1” thick with solid oak edge band on outside edge. Shelves are adjustable and are supported with
metal shelf pins in pinholes. The underside of the shelves shall be routed to receive pins.
2” deep tops shall be continuous over adjacent units and have inset plastic laminate at top and bottom surfaces and
solid oak edge band.
Provide graphics holders at end panels.
Note: The KISD standard height for elementary library shelving is 48” high, even at perimeter wall locations,
since younger children cannot reach the top shelves of shelving units above 48”.
3.
4.
All other units are plastic laminate clad. For durability of these plastic laminate units, the use, if
any, of particle board is limited to side or divider vertical components and backs at upper cabinets
only. All other components should be specified as plywood, including cabinet doors, shelves, and
all lower cabinet backs and dividers. At areas around sinks, specify moisture resistant plywood.
Use casework detailing that increases durability. Eliminate sharp edges by easing corners with
curved or 45° transitions. At work stations, angle vertical supports back away from the front of the

emitting diode (LED) fixtures for interior and exterior lighting solutions. The intent is to maximize the
efficiencies that the district can gain by mitigating the level of consumption, maintenance requirements,
decreasing stockage, and increasing control system integration to balance daylighting requirements with designed
lumen specifications.

I.
Any landscaping beyond code requirements should be minimized. Do not design large planting beds
which become a maintenance and sustainability challenge over time, increases resource workload, and
adds significantly to life-cycle costs.
Designs will prohibit foundation planting due to the potential nesting of rodents and pests and
maintenance in tight spaces. Planting of flowering trees (no less than the drip line distance of a fullgrown diameter tree) away from the building is acceptable.
KISD written approval is required to include any plant material not covered by an automatic irrigation
system other than large play fields and lawns.
Due to cost, large lawn areas should be hydromulched and not sodded. Exceptions should be reviewed
with KISD and may involve time of year and construction schedules.
Edging is required in each location between a planting bed and lawn areas. Edging can be steel or
recycled plastic.
Side slope so storm water detention areas should be carefully considered and specifications should
include establishing a lawn, not just an application of hydromulch. To establish lawn may require
topsoil, erosion control, sodding, and irrigation.
The following guidelines establish standard for planting and related appurtenances, but are not
complete technical specifications. The Consultant is encouraged to consider these a basis for design,
documentation, and specifications, but shall also assure their compatibility to the specific site.
Obtain approved plant list from KISD Operations and Maintenance Grounds Supervisor before any
plant selections are determined.
Provide a growth period for plant, sod, and hydromulch establishment as recommended by the
Landscape Architect.
