1) The document outlines a fire evacuation plan for multiple buildings on a school campus.
2) Each building is assigned an evacuation destination to allow students to exit safely and quickly without congestion. Nearby buildings are sent to the same evacuation area.
3) Within each building, rooms are split between two exits/staircases to further prevent congestion and allow efficient evacuation. Detailed maps and color coding indicate evacuation routes for each area.
2. Overview
I estimated about how many students would be in each
building and so I used those numbers and each buildings
location to pick the destinations to which each building could
evacuate to in a safe, speedy, and organized way.
3. Career Counseling Center
second floor
To eliminate any congestion in the hallways and to allow the students
enough time to leave the building I split the rooms into two halves so the
rooms highlighted in purple will go down the right staircase and the
rooms highlighted in pink will go down the front left staircase and
evacuate to the baseball field.
4. Career Counseling Center
first floor
The rooms highlighted in yellow will evacuate to the baseball
field through the front entrance and the rooms highlighted in
blue will evacuate out of the back left staircase. This will allow
the students to evacuate safely and quickly without chaos.
5. Construction Tech / JROTC
Instead of evacuating through the plaza and/or student parking lot
to the baseball field this building will now evacuate to the left side
grass area at the front of the shop buildings. This gives the
students in this building a quicker way to get out of the building.
6. Industrial Tech
This building will also evacuate to the front left
grass area making it quick and easy for the students
to get out of the building.
7. Agriculture Science
Like the Industrial Tech and Construction Tech/ JROTC buildings this
building will also evacuate to the front left grass area. These three
buildings are the only buildings evacuating to that destination; therefore
there will not be a lot of congestion and all the students and staff can get
out of the buildings quickly.
8. Cafeteria
In case there is a fire while one of the lunches is going on the students in
the lunchroom will evacuate through the three side doors and walk on the
breezeway to the baseball field. The students eating lunch in the plaza
will walk on the breezeway to the baseball field as well.
9. Main gym
upper level
The students and staff in this part of the gym will evacuate down the
front left stairs and into the left side door of the tennis courts. This is a
fast way to get the students outside instead of having them walk to the
baseball field like they do in the current plan.
10. Main Gym
lower level
I divided the bottom level of the gym into two halves so the students and staff can
get out quickly and without congestion. The rooms highlighted in purple will exit out
of the back left doors and into the middle door of the tennis courts. The rooms in
orange will evacuate out of the back right doors and through the right door onto the
tennis courts. The pink arrows represent the students coming from the Packard gym.
11. Packard Gym
Since there are not a lot of students in the Packard gym they will just evacuate out of the
back doors and follow the path to the left door on the tennis courts. Since there are not
that many students in the two gyms combined the tennis courts make a perfect destination
for the students and staff to evacuate to. If there was a need for the students to move
further away from the school they could file out of the back door on the tennis courts and
into the woods right behind the courts.
12. Core Curriculum Building
second floor
I divided this building into two different halves so there would be no
congestion. The rooms highlighted in green will exit out of the right
front staircase, through the field between the Core curriculum
building and the academic wing to the football field.
13. Core Curriculum Building
first floor
Like the top floor of this same building I divided the rooms into two
halves and each half will go out a separate staircase and out to the
baseball field. This will help keep everyone organized and minimize
the chaos.
