Classroom available as Multi-Media Room in Project <br /> 25 — Preserves Historic Appearance <br /> 26 <br /> 27 <br /> 28 John Thomas said the charge was the development of the center section of the existing <br /> 29 building, which represents between 11,000 and 13,000 square feet. He said the simultaneous <br /> 30 charge was to look at the effect of mothballing the areas noted in gray on the maps, in case of <br /> 31 a need for future development. <br /> 32 He said the proposal is to keep or mothball all wings of the facility, and convert the <br /> 33 gravel lot to a paved lot, which will not change the impervious surface. He walked through the <br /> 34 proposed site plan blueprint. He said the memorial site out front would put back the old <br /> 35 flagpole along with information about the old school. <br /> 36 John Thomas reviewed the floor plan and said the goal is to create a lobby out of the <br /> 37 current outdoor walkway, and develop the cafeteria into three main spaces — a small group <br /> 38 room, a large group space, and a recreation room. He said the kitchen would be divided into a <br /> 39 church style kitchen with storage and two restrooms - one available to the kitchen and one to <br /> 40 the exterior ball fields. <br /> 41 He said the gym will be converted into a multipurpose room with some recreational <br /> 42 capabilities. He said the old stage will be closed off with folding walls to allow for use as an <br /> 43 exercise space. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Commissioner McKee arrived at 7:18 pm. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 John Thomas said there will also be one additional room that was not in the original <br /> 48 charge. He said this room will be developed into a multi-media room appropriate for computer <br /> 49 use, tutoring, or classroom space. <br />
