[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many years ago, schools were traditional two story buildings.  Why not go back to that.  Lots more bang for the buck.  [/quote]

Several of the ES's near Tyson's already have a second story- at least in part of the school.[/quote]

All the newer schools are being built with 2 stories. Our 1980s era school was built with 2 stories. I think only the really old buildings are one story.[/quote]

Even the old schools have a second story after their reno- at least for part of the school.  [/quote]

That's so odd because at Haycock, the parents REALLY wanted two stories to maintain greenspace and we got some bogus line about one story U shape being the optimal plan that most principals wanted.  Also, they said the old building could not support a second story and it's cheaper to build one story than shore up the old building to support 2.  Really, they just weren't willing to consider the community's wishes and had to cover because they had already spent planning money without bothering to see what the community wanted.[/quote]
