CMS Current State

The 2016 Drummey Rosane Anderson Inc (DRA) School Conditions Study identified a number of issues with the current Cromwell Middle School including but not limited to the following:

• Need to update fire and building code-related features including fire walls, sprinklers, and egress width

• Non-ADA-compliant bathrooms and drinking fountains as well as wheelchair accessibility issues

• Hazardous materials present in the building (asbestos)

• Missing science rooms (x2)

• Undersized classrooms (90 sq ft to 126 sq ft smaller than best practice)

• Plumbing and electrical beyond life expectancy causing an inability to maintain temperatures and air quality

• Aged telecommunication infrastructure that cannot support 21st century technology

• The school has 4 different vintage years (1954, 1956, 1962, 1979) plus portable classrooms on the property (2001)

• Building was originally the high school so it does not meet educational needs and specifications for the current grades residing in the school or today's educational methodologies
