Fairfield Jr-Sr High School, looking to develop a strategic plan for future growth, sought the expertise of JPR to evaluate and identify opportunities to enhance the experience of students, athletes, and the community. To accomplish this, JPR developed a Master Plan as a comprehensive tool to guide the school as they grow.
The Master Plan addressed many challenges that Fairfield was concerned with, including several items that dealt with student safety. The major item of concern was to resolve traffic pattern overlap – bus drop-off, parent pick-up, and student crossing conflicts. The JPR team did this by separating bus and parent traffic and giving each their own entry and exits to the school. This also helped resolve all issues with student crossings and access to the student parking lot.
In addition to improving student safety, JPR relocated and designed new areas for tennis courts, a PE field/band practice area, and a regulation sized football practice field, along with new concessions and restroom facilities. The team also addressed baseball drainage issues, created a new fan entrance, and planned for a possible student activity center.
This Plan will be a valuable resource to Fairfield Community Schools and the community as the school continues to evolve and grow.
