Campus Findings and Deficiencies
Historical Summary
Carver Educational Service Center, located at 850 Hungerford Drive, MD 20850, was established in 1951. The
building was originally a school for African American students; however, has since been converted to be
Montgomery County Administration Building.
Architectural
The brick façade was observed to be in fair condition. No major signs of deferred maintenance were observed
or reported during our assessment. However, exterior brick/masonry, cleaning and sealing are required in the
short-term. The roof built-up membrane shows signs of significant wear with evidence of leakage throughout
the top floor and will requires replacement. Additionally, about 40% of the windows have been replaced thus
far, the remaining 60% will need replacement during the evaluation period. The interior finishes have been
regularly replaced on an as-needed basis and are in fair condition.
Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire (MEPF)
The building utilizes a central heating and cooling system that serves most spaces. The system consists of two
cooling towers that supply condenser water to two air-cooled chillers. Heating is provided by three gas-fired
boilers, which distribute hot water to radiators, unit ventilators, fan coil units, and air handlers located in the
mechanical rooms throughout the facility. Moreover, supplemental heating and cooling is provided by split
system ductless units serving offices, data rooms, and other small or isolated areas. The heating and cooling
system was observed to be in fair and poor condition, with some systems that have already exceeded their
estimated useful life (EUL). Exhaust ventilation is provided by roof mounted exhaust fans that will require
lifecycle replacement within the study period. Hot water is provided by a gas-fired water heater located in the
boiler room. The plumbing fixtures were observed to be in fair condition and are currently in the middle of their
useful life. The electrical system is composed of main switchboards, panel boards and transformers. The
electrical branch wiring and components are approaching their useful life and will require replacement. The
lighting system currently utilizes linear fluorescent fixtures. The fire alarm system is currently in a fair condition
and operating sufficiently. The building utilizes a partial fire suppression system that was observed to be in fair
condition. The commercial kitchen equipment is generally in fair condition and will require replacement within
the study period. Typical lifecycle replacements and ongoing maintenance of the MEPF equipment are
budgeted and anticipated.
Site
The parking lots and sidewalks have been periodically repaved and sectionally replaced as needed over the
years. The concrete walkways pavement show alligator cracking, wear, and separation and will require
immediate repairs. Recommendations include mill and overlay, and seal and striping during the evaluation
period.

Facility Characteristic Survey
The facility characteristics of school and associated buildings are shown below.
Indoor air quality including temperature and relative humidity level are monitored centrally. Most instructional
spaces are equipped with IAQ sensors. Each general and specialty classroom has a heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning (HVAC) system capable of maintaining a temperature between 68°F and 75°F and a relative
humidity between 30% and 60% at full occupancy. Each general, science, and fine-arts classroom had an
HVAC system that continuously moves air and is capable of maintaining a carbon dioxide level of not more
than 1,200 parts per million. The temperature, relative humidity and air quality were measured at a work
surface in the approximate center of the classroom.
The acoustics with the exception of physical-education spaces, each general and specialty classroom are
maintainable at a sustained background sound level of less than 55 decibels. The sound levels were measured
at a work surface in the approximate center of the classroom.
Each general and specialty classroom had a lighting system capable of maintaining at least 50 foot-candles of
well-distributed light. The school has appropriate task lighting in specialty classrooms where enhanced visibility
is required. The light levels measured at a work surface located in the approximate center of the classroom,
between clean light fixtures. The school makes efficient use of natural light for students, teachers, and energy
conversation.
Classroom spaces, including those for physical education, were sufficient for educational programs that are
appropriate for the class-level needs. With the exception of physical-education spaces, each general and
specialty classroom contained a work surface and seat for each student in the classroom. The work surface
and seat were appropriate for the normal activity of the class conducted in the room.
Each general and specialty classroom had an erasable surface and a surface suitable for projection purposes,
appropriate for group classroom instruction, and a display surface.
Each general and specialty classroom had storage for classroom materials or access to conveniently located
storage.
With the exception of physical-education spaces and music-education spaces, each general and specialty
classroom shall had a work surface and seat for the teacher and for any aide assigned to the classroom. The
classroom had secure storage for student records that is located in the classroom or is conveniently accessible
to the classroom.
The school was constructed with sustainable design practices. The schools use durable, timeless, low-
maintenance exterior materials. The school’s materials (particularly shell) should withstand time as well as
potential impacts related to structural, site and climate changes.
The school is functionally equitable. All students in this school have access to safe, well-maintained, and
appropriately equipped learning environments as students in other MCPS schools.
