Mayer <br /> Superintendent <br /> ''tt <br /> FROM: Gerry House IV, <br /> Assistant S perintendent for Support Services <br /> SUBJECT: Long Range Capital Improvement Plan <br /> DATE: February 13, 1985 <br /> The Long Range Capital Improvement Planning Committee was organized <br /> last fall to review the school system's facilities improvement plan <br /> and to present recommendations for update and modifications. <br /> The committee recommends the following capital project priorities <br /> for the Board's consideration and adoption: <br /> 1. Multipurpose Space $816,000 <br /> Glenwood, Estes Hills Elementary Schools <br /> These are the two elementary schools that do not have a large activity <br /> and/or gathering space. The initial capital improvement plan (mid-70's) <br /> was to build multipurpose facilities at Frank P. Graham, Glenwood and <br /> Estes Hills. Frank P. Graham's multipurpose room was built in 1978, <br /> but due to a lack of and/or redirection of funds, multipurpose spaces <br /> at the other two schools have not been built. The lack of this type <br /> space limits the art, music and physical education programs, as well <br /> as limits the large group experiences that can be made available to <br /> students. Student assemblies and cultural arts programs are virtually <br /> impossible at Glenwood and Estes Hills because there is no space large <br /> enough to accommodate the student body. In addition, classroom space <br /> is being utilized for art, music and physical education classes. With <br /> the projections of increased elementary enrollment at the elementary <br /> level, these classrooms will be needed to house additional students. <br /> 2. Air Conditioning $1,500,000 <br /> Phillips Jr. High <br /> Frank P. Graham Elementary School (Primary Building, <br /> Administration/Cafeteria Building) <br /> Until the mid-seventies, five of the older buildings had no air- <br /> conditioning. Because of problems with the heating systems at <br /> Carrboro, Glenwood and Estes Hills, these three schools were targeted <br /> as first priorities for HVAC retrofit, leaving Frank P. Graham and <br /> Phillips as the remaining school sites without air conditioning. <br />
