The Glendale USD Facility Master Plan, in your hands.
Every project and cost here is grounded in real work: site assessments and interviews across all district schools and sites.
Explore cost breakdowns for one site or many. Build your own scenarios. Adjust for inflation from 2026 to 2036.
Every identified need is organized in three levels:
A Project Category describes the type of work (for example, Building Modernization).
Within each category, a System Type groups needs by trade or discipline (Plumbing, Electrical, Architecture, and so on).
Each system type then breaks down into specific Components; the actual items assessed, such as cold water piping, fire alarm systems, or roofing.
The examples below show the system types that make up each category.
Upgrades and replacements to the systems inside and serving buildings:
- Plumbing: water, waste & gas piping, water heaters, fixtures
- Architecture: flooring, ceilings, casework, doors, lockers
- Mechanical (HVAC): packaged/split A/C units, ductwork, heating
- Building Envelope: roofing, exterior doors & windows, facade
- Life Safety & Security: fire alarm, communications & security
- Electrical: panels, lighting, branch wiring
- Technology: communications, controls, clock/bell/PA
- Structural: structural systems
- Civil: building-adjacent paving: parking, drives, play courts
Work outside the building footprint:
- Civil: paving, parking, drives, walkways
- Architecture: playgrounds, fencing, landscaping, shade structures
- Athletics: sports fields, tracks, tennis, pool
New building area and the removal of existing structures, including reconfiguration-driven demolition.
