Update from March 16th Meeting of the School Expansion Committee

The committee had a short meeting on March 16th to go over some proposals and questions from the architect. Discussion was had about bathrooms in the 2nd level of the new proposed addition. After talking with faculty, it was determined that another bathroom in each room would be better served. We came up with the agreement to try and get two bathrooms in each of the new classrooms.

Discussion was had on moving the entrance to the commons more to the north, but not to eliminate any parking. It does look like we can move it farther north. This would seem more inviting for our members, and get them out of the elements quicker when walking in from the parking lot.

Also some discussion was had on the water main break that we have under the school. Remodeling that whole area into new bathrooms and locker rooms obviously eliminates the current mechanical room where the water main comes into, and where many other pipes and the water heater is located. Discussion ensued of where we would need to come in with the water main if that mechanical room area eventually is not there. All ideas were presented to Tom Schermerhorn from Excel Engineering the next day.
