RMI: Health and Education Project Development Plans Current Situation Infrastructure identified as a primary obstacle to achieving overall objectives Negative factors on infrastructure …eg Geographical remoteness and poor access Limited resources including funding, useable land and availability of site utilities (eg water, power) Historical backlog of maintenance Lack of consistent physical standards for site planning, building design and construction Limited capacity for enforcing standards that exist Continued … These have resulted in: Too many substandard, uncomfortable and unsafe existing facilities Too few facilities at many schools/health centres Lack of schools/health centres in strategic locations (eg no public high school on Ebeye) Unreliable power and water provisions, especially on Outer Islands Beca Findings Research and investigations at each school/health centre in RMI confirm overall poor condition and inadequacy of infrastructure Detailed inventory of current facility conditions and performance has been developed and assessed to produce a maintenance plan Site investigations and MOE/MOH discussions have resulted in Project Development Plans (PDP’s) for selected projects and building types These are at a preliminary stage, needing RMI feedback plus further information to finalise Health Majuro Hospital Ebeye Hospital Professional Housing Outer Island Typical Health Centres and Staff Housing Education College of Marshall Islands Gugeegue Campus Majuro Campus High Schools Marshall Islands HS Northern Islands HS Jaluit HS Laura HS Continued… Elementary Schools Rita ES Uliga ES Delap ES Rairok ES Outer Island Typical Classroom and Staff Housing Basis of PDP’s National sector policies and priorities … eg Long term sustainability of new facilities Cost effectiveness, to minimise capital and ongoing operating costs Planning Directives … eg Providing space for kindergarten facilities at elementary schools Providing expanded high school classroom capacity Continued … Technical Standards … eg Site planning for environmental sensitivity, space efficiency, minimal excavation and erosion Building design and construction for corrosion resistance, natural ventilation, rainwater catchment 30:1 maximum student/classroom ratio 20’ x 30’ minimum standard classroom size Site Planning Long buildings across the wind flow create big wind shadows Smaller buildings angled to the wind give better site wind flow Building Ventilation Typical existing ventilation Trapped hot air Air flow above people Proposed ventilation Extra room volume Clerestorey light/air Low sill height Hot air ducts Window/Vent Detail Ventilation separated from natural light Air supply controlled by plywood sliding panel Rairok ES – Existing Plan Existing Site Site Layout Site Ventilation Proposed Site Plan
