- The Master Planning Team
Newport-Mesa Unified School District (NMUSD) is nearing completion of a facility master plan. The plan is developed in collaboration with facility experts, school and district leadership, and in consideration of community input.
Expected to be finalized in early 2024, the plan identifies the district's long-term facilities needs and opportunities to continue to provide facilities that support our quality educational programs.
It is intended to guide our District in the planning of ongoing facility maintenance, such as flooring, paint, roofs; and long-term capital improvement projects throughout the district.
The district and its design team conducted site visits to each campus, performing conditions assessments, providing an inventory of space, and reviewing the current educational use of each campus with site leadership. The master plan architects continue to review all as-built information for each campus, cataloging campus history and records of improvements. This technical review establishes a framework of the campus conditions which will be used to define facts and needs on each campus prior to the production of master plans.
Dates: May-August 2023
Status: Complete
Community outreach will be conducted prior to the production of the master plan solutions. The district and design team will be conducting listening sessions with the community through meetings associated with high school attendance boundaries. These meetings will identify the community wide goals and needs associated with schools in each region of the district.
Listening sessions will be comprised of workshops, focusing on fact gathering, and walking the community through a process to identify priorities, campus needs, and community concerns for each campus. These workshops will also allow the community to listen and learn from one another to build consensus around the main goals and concerns for their region and the district as a whole.
Anticipated: October 2023
Status: Planning in Progress
Once the listening sessions and online surveys are complete, the master plan architects will begin assembling solutions that respond to community input, site assessments, and district requirements. A master plan concept will be proposed for each campus projecting improvements that will provide a road map of projects for the next thirty or more years. Master plans will be posted to this website, allowing for people across the community direct access to all district plans. The website will also allow for direct feedback on the proposed plans in the final stage of the process.
Anticipated: December-January 2023/2024
Status: Planning in Progress
In the final stage of this Master Planning effort, a digital survey will be published for community input to rate the importance of various proposed future work on each campus and solicit more feedback and input. Surveys and input will be collected through the master plan website as a centralized hub of intuitive information sharing and gathering. This will allow the district and other decision makers access to community input for future project prioritization.
Anticipated: January 2024
