Plans are in DD phase

 

December-

  • Plans are in DD Phase.  Architect is Wendel Architects. 

November -

  • The project will be adding a small addition and ramp with overhead canopy on the east side of the building by Door #2 to create a new Main Office “Suite” on the SE Corner of the building where the media center currently is located.

    This design takes into account many challenges to the building including split entry floor level conditions, lack of exterior “open” space around the building, multi-level egress conditions, and conflicts with unit ventilators around the building.

    The plan is to create a new, bigger health office close to the new main office.

    The media center will move to where the health office is currently located.

    The old main office area will be transformed into a new kindergarten classroom.

    Psychologists and social worker offices will be relocated from 2nd floor to main office “suite”.
