Define how utility bills, rent and shared services will be paid for dedicated-use facilities. It may be most appropriate to submeter those spaces. 

Design the school to meet accessibility and safety requirements. Specific needs will depend on the project, but may include permanent or
temporary security gates, separate entry doors, and separate bathrooms

Option 2: Two Spaces for Exclusive Use

Provide permanent or movable security gates, depending upon the needs of the school.

Design a large classroom with movable partitions to allow for community meetings in the evening. (Consider the acoustical implications of this design, however, as you may find it more difficult to meet the acoustics prerequisite IEQp3 with larger classrooms and interior partitions.) Locate restrooms adjacent to or near the shared facilities so that these groups are not walking across the school to get to the restroom. Security gates may be installed, so place them in areas that allow for safety but do not limit the flow of school foot traffic.

When providing joint-use spaces to the community, consider operational expenses. For example, if these arrangements do not allow community access during the school day, a security guard may be required after hours. 

Ideally, place the shared facilities close to the perimeter of the building and near the parking lot. This will allow easy access for community members and limit interruptions during the school day. Additionally, if these spaces are located at the center of the school, it is more difficult to control for safety. 

Decide how the shared facilities can be used by the general public, and determine the means of communicating this. 

Determine how the spaces that are open to the general public will be treated after hours. Consider utility bills, which doors will be open to the public, and how the space will be staffed.
