[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, that is not how they are choosing to use the satellite buildings.[/quote]I stopped typing too early.

They are using one as an Early Childhood Center and the other one as an administrative center.

Classrooms will be housed in the main building.

You know, the one with a pool and three gyms, huge robotic labs, professional science classrooms with massive vent hoods.

The one with the open learning bays and two cafeterias.

Yeah, not the POS shell buildings.[/quote]

I know some one said they could do that early in the process but plans can change. It would be far less expensive to take one of those buildings and use it for additional classrooms and to house the library. It would be less disruptive and less expensive, both are good outcomes. If adding one building provides them the space they need, then they can use the second for an alternative purpose. The budget shortfall and the outcry about taking money from other CIP projects to take care of Western would be good reasons for them to shift plans from adding an admin center to a less expensive classroom build out.

I don’t think that anything has been set in stone. [/quote]Well, the building is of good size and standing to be reconfigured.

Say goodbye to your pool Karen Wheeler.[/quote]

There is no way they would remove the pool - pools are in high demand. Not sure they need three gyms but unclear of how much space that creates. The school was made for 1200 students and cramming 2000-2200 into it is going to essentially require a doubling of everything. Make no sense to me. You may be able to get another 300 in outbuildings or trailers or the gym but that is about it.[/quote]
