1 BREVARD PUBLIC SCHOOLS RECOMMENDED VIDEO PRODUCTION STUDIO DESIGN Date: 5/26/07 Written By: Bill Davis, Chief Engineer, PE, EC, CTS Jerry Nuckolls, Systems Designer, CTS IM Solutions, Inc South Harbor City Blvd, Melbourne FL Ph: , Fax: ,

2 Objective This document provides a video production studio design standard for Brevard County Elementary, Middle and High Schools, such that the design standard will enable commonality of requirements, functionality and equipment across the schools. Standard and enhanced studio designs are defined at the Elementary, Middle and High School levels to provide flexibly with respect to budget and functionality. Class size, facility size, floor plan, equipment and budget are also defined. This design standard is not manufacturer-specific thus will serve as a design baseline as equipment and technology continues to evolve. These standards are to be used as a guide for new construction. They may be modified as necessary for renovations/remodels of existing schools. The information presented herein is based upon video production studio industry standards in addition to interviews with the School Board of Brevard County administrative and teaching staff as defined below: School Interviewee Date of Interview Studio Size (sq ft) Approx Studio Cost Sunrise Elem Barry Pichard, 12/12/ $30K Principle Mims Elem Priscilla Reams, 1/12/ $5K Principle Coquina Elem Mike Jones, Production 1/12/ $5K Studio Instructor Gardendale Elem Sara DaSillva, Production 1/24/ $30K Studio Instructor Edgewood HS Kim Brown, Production 12/1/ $160K Studio Instructor Viera HS Liz Sivco, Production 12/1/ $160K Studio Instructor K-12 District Scott Carrico, 12/8/06 5/25/07 N/A N/A TV Station Mngr.
