Main St. Ashland, OR 97520 Building Name: Briscoe Elementary Priority Level: 4 CODE SUMMARY Originally Built 1948 NOTES: Briscoe Elementary has been closed since 2004 due to declining enrollment. Ashland School District is now looking at the buildings potential to be reopened as a school. The building is currently being leased by two organizations. OCDC (Oregon Child Development Coalition) occupies half of the building while the Lithia Art Guild leases the other half of the building. In general, the building appears to be in good condition. OCDC has put money into their wing of the building to keep up with maintenance as much as possible. New wood doors were installed in 2009 at the back of the building, but they have quickly rotted away due to water spray hitting the doors. Doors at these locations should be replaced with powder coated hollow metal doors. Many of the doors replaced in the OCDC wing have updated ADA hardware The asphalt pavement behind the school where the buses loop is deteriorating and cracking. The asphalt should be repaved to avoid further damage due to water infiltration and freeze/thaw. There is a section of domestic water lines that run underneath the bus loop and have been broken on three different occasions due to the weight of the buses. This section of piping will need to be reinforced, or placed deeper underground. Windows are old and in need of being replaced. This will help increase the energy efficiency. The carpet is in good condition in parts of the building, but if the building were to be reoccupied for an elementary school use, then the carpet should be replaced. The kitchen has a walk in cooler that has been reconditioned. The school has been told that the kitchen hood is not sufficient for cooking with hot oil. Further observations indicate that the kitchen does not have washable ceiling and surfaces which will also need to be addressed if this school is to be reopened for the school district use. The brick and CMU is failing/spalling/crumbing at the playground area with water infiltration and Most Recent Renovation 1997 Number of Structures 2 Building Area(s) 33,980 S.F.

The concrete ramp coming up to the playground is not ADA accessible since the slope is too steep and there is large tree root which is breaking up the pavement. The Electrical panels are full, and a power upgrade will be needed in order to reoccupy this building. The boiler seems to be in good condition and could be repurposed, although it is not as efficient as modern boilers. The building was partitioned off to separate the two different leasing tenants. This wall will need to be removed if the building is to be reoccupied.

Main St., Ashland, OR 97520 3 EXISTING HVAC CHANGES FROM 2005 ASSESSMENT? Yes ADEQUATE? Yes Primary Heat Source NOTES: The building is heated by a central boiler which is original to the building. While (2) boilers exist; only one is in use, as the other is decommissioned. The boiler not in use could be recommissioned, but it may make more sense to install two new boilers instead. The boiler that is in use is in good condition as it has been well maintained. It does not appear to require much maintenance. The building doesn’t have central A/C, but teachers have window A/C units which have been purchased by OCDC. The building is still run on pneumatic controls.

Yes ADEQUATE? Y/N Domestic Water NOTES: The building hot water heater was replaced in 2008. No complaints have been received regarding the hot water heater. Pressure Good Piping System Poor Domestic Water Heating Gas Hot Water Heater Undesirable Conditions The piping is still galvanized and is in generally poor condition. EXISTING ELECTRICAL CHANGES FROM 2005 ASSESSMENT? No ADEQUATE? Y/N Undesirable Conditions The electrical panels are original to the building and in poor condition. The main service feeds to subpanels with fuses in lieu of breakers, which is archaic and a maintenance concern. One new electrical panel was added in 2009 which is a 100 A panel serving minor receptacles, lights, and the ADA lift. EXISTING LIGHTING CHANGES FROM 2005 ASSESSMENT? Yes ADEQUATE? Y/N COA050168 Building Name: Briscoe Elementary Briscoe Elementary | 265 N. Main St., Ashland, OR 97520 4 General Lighting has been updated to T8’s from T12’s.

Exits Very few illuminated exit signs within the building. Site Lighting FIRE ALARM CHANGES FROM 2005 ASSESSMENT? Yes ADEQUATE? Y/N General In general, the fire alarm systems have been updated across campus between 2008 and 2012 with a new photoelectric system. New horns and strobes have been added in each building. According to the maintenance staff, the infrastructure does not support remote access DDC controls, and all controls have to be maintained manually. EXISTING STRUCTURE CHANGES FROM 2005 ASSESSMENT? No ADEQUATE? Y/N Constructi on Age Condition Notes Overall VB 1948 Fair Roof Built-Up Original Poor The roof is in very poor condition and leaking throughout ADDITIONAL NOTES: - Short on storage, as is typical throughout the school district - The music building addition does not need much maintenance except for the heating being a little uneven and the hot water being a little touchy. The heat is supplied by (2) rooftop AHU’s which have aged. COA050169
