Campus&Facilities Development Plan

Remodel the existing facility to accommodate growth for 2008-09.
This will involve moving the copy room into a container and creating a new classroom out of what is now the student lounge and principal’s office on the second floor. We will also purchase, install and remodel two temporary classrooms to be located on the rear basketball court. We will be using the new Gymnasium to provide one additional classroom space, and, of course, the new gymnasium itself.

Phase Two Medium Term Growth (construction to begin 2009)
The construction of a new elementary building on campus in the brown zone (between the new Gymnasium and Pre-School). Please refer to the attached plan drawings on this section of the website. We will need this completed by August 2010 at the latest to accommodate projected enrollment growth.

Phase Three The construction of a new Cafetorium (dining hall/ theatre)
This facility will be built next to the maintenance buildings on what is now used as a small soccer field. This facility will be a multi-purpose space to be used as a dinning hall and performance space for drama, theatre, concerts and assemblies. It will contain kitchens, stage, dressing rooms/ changing rooms and a large auditorium. Please refer to the attached designs.

Landscaping and Grounds Development
We will also be remodeling and landscaping the grounds of the campus during phases one, two and three (above). We intend to expand the size of the current soccer field and athletic track to make these full sized, for example. The development of the grounds should:
1) enhance the education/ teaching/ learning for the students—outdoor classrooms,
2) allow safe, practical and rapid access to all facilities
3) enhance the aesthetic look of the campus.

From the TIS Five Year Strategic Plan……..

Goal:
By 2012, Tashkent International School will develop a world class international school facility on the current campus to serve a maximum of 560 students, the school will:
1. Complete ongoing facilities development and construction projects
2. Develop and implement a new campus-wide facilities master plan in line with the strategic goal
3. Ensure that new building and construction can accommodate a projected 10% increase in enrollment per year for the next five years

Enrollment Growth projections:
We are projecting a 10% increase in enrollment annually for the next five years, based upon growth from the previous five years (see below).

Projected Enrollment K-12 at September 2008 = 284

(Addition of Pre-School to TIS enrollment figures for August 2009)

Projected Enrollment PreK-12 at September 2009 = 360
Projected Enrollment PreK-12 at September 2010 = 382
Projected Enrollment PreK-12 at September 2011 = 402

In order to accommodate projected growth in enrollment and continue the development of programmes and facilities as determined by the school’s strategic plan, the Board has formed a Campus and Facilities Development Committee to determine a plan to meet points 1, 2 and 3 of the strategic goal above.

The Campus and Facilities Development Committee is comprised of:
Kevin Glass TIS Director
Jeff Walker TIS Parent and the Facilities Manager, US Embassy Tashkent
Mike Humphrey Board and PTA Vice Chair, TIMC Executive Director
Geoffroy de Vaulgrenant TIS Business Manager
Elyane Ruel TIS Elementary Deputy Principal and PYP Coordinator
Mark Brookes TIS IT Coordinator
Rashid Suleymanov TIS Property Supervisor

The Campus and Facilities Development Committee has now developed Version 3 of the plan following the two rounds of feedback from the faculty and community via the web portal. The ideas, suggestions and inputs from all have been, where feasible, incorporated into the plan revisions. Please remember that there are some defining parameters that we need to follow at all times in our planning: health and safety, recommended sizes for learning spaces and public building facilities, number of students and facilities we need to accommodate in the building, the space for the building footprint that we have on campus and, or course, budgetary and environmental considerations.

Our thanks in advance for all your work, ideas and suggestions on this very important part of our school’s growth, evolution and future!
