What other code requirements will the District perform to the Ronald School?
In addition to the minimum that is required for Historic Buildings, the District will upgrade the Ronald School for full compliance with all other codes – these include life-safety, energy, mechanical and electrical, storm water drainage, and ADA accessibility. The District intends to extend the functioning life of the historic building for many years to come so that it provides maximum safety to students and the community, conserves energy to protect the environment and save taxpayer dollars for building operation, manages storm water drainage responsibly on the site and allows universal accessibility to all citizens. Anticipated upgrades include providing fire sprinklers, insulating the exterior walls and roof, providing new thermal windows, providing safe emergency egress, providing full handicap accessibility throughout the building, and reducing current downstream flooding impacts due to storm water runoff.
