Please work with school staff to determine some appropriate locations to be considered. The Green Projects Team Leader will review and approve all proposed bench locations prior
to ordering and installation.
The principal should contact the FTL for details on how to have a concrete pad installed
(FS work request form - 1842?).
Site Placement
Site Placement
Benches are to be located within close proximity of uses expected to generate pedestrian traffic requiring places to rest.
Benches shall be placed adjacent to, rather than within, pedestrian travel corridors, and their location shall not obstruct travel routes or building entries or interfere with other site amenities and activities.
If possible, benches shall be positioned to face scenic views
Benches and pads can’t be installed within the dripline of trees
Locations off accessible pathways should include an extended concrete pad to fit a wheelchair
Consider the visibility of the location if vandalism is an issue
Consider if the bench will create a climbing issue (next to a fence or low building/shed)
Consider the implications of it being damaged if placed in a busy schoolyard.
Benches need to be secured to the ground. The best surface is concrete or less desirable but doable, asphalt and lastly interlock. If an existing hard surface is not available in the desired location a concrete pad is needed.
