Project Overview/ Introduction
OVERVIEW
Town S h l for Boys i an independent K 8 school for boys located at 2750
T School f B is i d d t K‐8 h l f b l t d t
Jackson St. in San Francisco. The school occupies a facility that has been
assembled from four separate structures built at different times; the earliest
structure d
dates f
from pre‐1958 with the l
1958 i h h latest addition b i the gymnasium
ddi i being h i
and cafeteria constructed in1971.
Over the past d
O h decade student enrollment h remained steady at
d d ll has i d d
approximately 400, while teacher and staff population has increased
materially supporting the commitment to a richer classroom experience,
enhanced program offerings and smaller class sizes.
h d ff d ll l
The result is has been increased pressure on the existing facility to support the
increase in people and programs to the point where the school has explored a
number of options over the years to provide needed space relief. The current
facility capabilities to support current, let alone enhanced curriculum offerings,
necessitated focused study to achieve solutions.

2. Walls and curbs supporting chain‐link fences are to have a minimum of 5”
concrete clear at fence sleeves each side, typically providing a width of 1’‐0” for
fences 10’‐0” high or less and 1’‐4” for fences over 10’‐0”.
3. Walls supporting iron fences 6‐0” or less are to have a minimum width of 1’‐0”.

of corners. Expansion joint layout is to be shown on the plans. Place expansion
joints a minimum of 2’‐3” away from the fence posts.
4. Provide drainage mat and weep holes (or perforated drainpipe connected to a
stone dry well at lot line condition) behind the wall to prevent saturation of the
backfill.

h. Landscaping
i. Consideration is to be given to provide Low‐Impact Design landscaping to meet the
requirements of both San Francisco Stormwater Management and LEED Silver
requirements. This may include trees, shrubs, and plants that are low maintenance, low
water, and drought resistant. Plantings that reduce or eliminate the need for permanent
irrigation should be selected. Temporary irrigation, if necessary, should be limited to up
to one year after installation.
2. Building Envelope
a. Walls
i. Cement Plaster
Applied per ASTM C 926 and ASTM C 1063. Color and texture shall match existing where
applicable. If there is a new application not near existing cement plaster, then the finish
