The concept seems to include a below-grade parking garage with entrance off of Highland St. There is no pool, but another slide indicates the Plaza can be used for future expansion. There are a few more images on the slides.
The CIP supposedly set aside funds for an amphitheater, black-box theater, and band/orchestra rehearsal spaces. I don't see those in here though; just the gym. Am I missing something?
I would assume those fall under the category of "assembly."

These renderings of a modern, architecturally interesting and light filled campus will make the surrounding wealthy neighborhoods lick their chops and forget all about the pool. Poor Wakefield.
Oh yeah, those wealthy duplex owners on Highland and taxi drivers in the Fillmore are just eating this up!
Cmon dude, are you really trying to portray Arlington Heights as a blue collar neighborhood? Even those duplexes go for a half mil. Most of AH and Penrose is SFH over 700k. It’s barely SA anymore.
You consider Filmore Gardens as "hardly south arlington" too? Technically not arlington heights; but surrounding neighborhood just across walter reed and facing the site.

Wakefield is a beautiful building and a beautiful campus. So the "surrounding wealthy neighborhoods"
have nothing to worry about.

Man does SA brings up such weird class issue. Ok course 500K for a small house is blue collar in a place where old houses regularly go for over a million and new builds over 1.5 - 2mil.
And what does barely SA anymore even mean? There seems to be this pervasive idea that all of SA is required to be poor, blue collar, and brown because thats what it was in the 60s or whatever. Nevermind the racist housing policies that influenced that.
We’re not allowed to have (or want) nice things in South Arlington.

Previous discussion, now in a manageable size.

You like it now. Once the CC draws off half the high school age kids in AH and Penrose, you might like Wakefield a lot less.
