An 8 story high school.
It's doable, I guess. Fordham University in Manhattan is essentially a whole university in two high rise buildings, one being classrooms and offices, and the neighboring building being student housing, with a little bit of plaza squeezed between.
Still, it basically means that the students spend the whole day inside. I guess they might as well get early exposure to the office rat race environment, but I'd be kind of sad watching my 14 y/o disappear into a highrise block like office workers in Midtown Manhattan . . .
Wonder what the elevator plan will be. Every hour on the hour, 2,000 people carrying backpacks will have less than ten minutes to completely redistribute themselves throughout the building. Suppose 300 of them only have to go a couple floors so they take stairs, that's 1,700 taking elevators. 10 persons to a car, that's 170 carloads. Even with ten elevators, that's still 17 cartrips to make in less than 10 minutes or 1.7 trips a minute . . . At 8:15 am all 2,000 people are trying to take elevators up to their classrooms. At noon, all 2,000 people are trying to get to the cafeteria, while 50 minutes later, they are all trying to get out. Anyone do this sort of modeling, what will be required?
