[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Westfield has never been renovated. It was built on the cheap around 1999. They stuck a modular addition on when it opened already over capacity but didn't expand the common areas so the halls, gym, library, cafeteria etc are all undersized for the building capacity. The building design doesn't even have a lobby or any gathering places for students. Its literally just classrooms and halls.

For instance, South County is the exact same floor plan, with a lot fewer students AND South County has an extra "bubble" building for extra space for sports and activities. I don't know how they got that. 
[/quote]Not modular - Westfield was expanded - R-wing and cafeteria. Agreed that they didn't expand halls, etc.  Overall result was the 600 seat R-wing addition didn't actually add 600 students to the capacity.

Note - This is a general issue with FCPS "expansions" they add space for butts but don't really add equal capacity throughout the building.

And who really wants 3000 student high schools...[/quote]

The fact that Westfield has no large gathering space or lobby area is so depressing. Everything feels so enclosed. Visiting other schools is eye opening [/quote]
