Current space is too small and has too few outlets. 66 GOAL 1: A Place for Everyone GOAL 2: To Grow as Learners GOAL 3: In Head and Heart IMPROVEMENTS LIST CLAYTON HIGH SCHOOL Goal 1 Accessibility/ Inclusiveness New Space / Facility Program Needs Need for a larger lecture hall (about 100 people) for guest lectures, mock trial, speech and debate, presentations, joint classes). Goal 1 Accessibility/ Inclusiveness Space Utilization Space Utilization Relocate the English classrooms currently in the basement. Goal 1 Accessibility/ Inclusiveness Space Utilization Program Needs SSD needs more room to teach their students (smaller cooldown spaces, larger motor spaces, etc.). Goal 3 Accessibility/ Inclusiveness Space Utilization Space Utilization Desire for a student services suite located near the main office. Would include nurse, wellness, counselors, administration, spaces for consulting specialists, testing spaces. Ambulance services are not quick and they are embarrassing for the student – the nurse’s office is currently downstairs and the elevator is across the school. Goal 1 Accessibility/ Inclusiveness Renovations / Upgrades Program Needs Add smaller study rooms throughout the school for about 2-5 students. Goal 1 Accessibility/ Inclusiveness Renovations / Upgrades Program Needs Increase size of library to include more seating, a better place to present, acoustical interventions to help with the sound travel, and individual study areas. Maintenance/ HVAC Systems Athletics/ Activities Blackbox theater needs a new lighting grid (the current is accessible from floor only), new stage lighting, new duct work to regain the 4' of stage space it takes up, and an alternate control booth position to accommodate multiple stage configurations. Goal 2 Curriculum & Programming Renovations / Upgrades Athletics/ Activities Poor audience visibility -- the auditorium stage is too high, and the seats are not sloped to increase visibility. The outdated audience layout creates poor sightlines for side seats. Maintenance/ HVAC Systems Athletics/ Activities The A/V systems are outdated and the units are no longer being manufactured for replacement. Additionally, poor placement of A/V boxes requires long cables to podium and exposes A/V jacks to damage. Goal 2 Curriculum & Programming Renovations / Upgrades Athletics/ Activities There is no catwalk to implement lights, there is no grid for lighting above the stage, and the band/orchestra pit needs updates. Goal 2 Curriculum & Programming Systems Athletics/ Activities There are difficulties in scheduling use of the auditorium with the middle school. Goal 2 Curriculum & Programming Renovations / Upgrades Program Needs Blackbox theater at the high school holds about 100 people but needs to be larger, contain a proper catwalk and needs a lighting grid system. Presents safety issues. Goal 3 Curriculum & Programming Renovations / Upgrades Storage The junior varsity teams need a designated storage space for their equipment during the school day. Goal 1 Curriculum & Programming Space Utilization Space Utilization The current drama classroom cannot accommodate more than 10-15 students working together, and drama classes cannot be consistently held in the Blackbox or Auditorium because there are usually sets being built or instrumental practice. 67

Goal 1 Curriculum & Programming Space Utilization Space Utilization The current drama classroom cannot accommodate more than 10-15 students working together, and drama classes cannot be consistently held in the Blackbox or Auditorium because there are usually sets being built or instrumental practice. 67 Goal 1 Curriculum & Programming Space Utilization Space Utilization Inadequate theater department rehearsal space. Available rehearsal space is severely limited by different classes having to use spaces not designed for them as a result of the varying levels. Goal 1 Curriculum & Programming Space Utilization Space Utilization No dedicated percussion class space results in all percussion equipment having to be moved between levels which results in distraction and less class time. Maintenance/ HVAC Exterior / Building Envelope Quality of Space Leaks throughout the performing arts wing (black box, jazz room, restrooms, lobby, stages, auditorium hallway). Maintenance/ HVAC Systems Quality of Space Rehearsal spaces for band/choir/orchestra rooms do not have proper acoustical treatment. Additionally, the HVAC system is too loud in these rooms, making recording not feasible. In the Jazz room, higher ceilings are needed to meet the standards to prevent hearing damage. Goal 1 Accessibility/ Inclusiveness Renovations / Upgrades Storage Lack of storage for orchestra, band, and theater. Lots of equipment stored in hallways. Goal 1 Accessibility/ Inclusiveness Renovations / Upgrades Band/Choir Band room, choir, orchestra, the orchestra pit, and the auditorium are on different levels. Students have to use ADA lifts that are not ideally located in order to move around the department. There is no ADA access to restrooms or dressing rooms from the stage. Creates challenges for equipment and have to use the lift after. Wood shop has the same issue- this prevents set pieces from being built in the workshop. No loading dock direct to auditorium stage. Goal 1 Accessibility/ Inclusiveness Renovations / Upgrades Athletics/ Activities Auditorium is too small. Not enough seating for parents, students, etc. Goal 1 Accessibility/ Inclusiveness Renovations / Upgrades Athletics/ Activities The auditorium and Blackbox lobbies and restrooms are outdated and cannot accommodate the current audience capacities for the spaces. There is no direct access to the lobby from the backstage area for performers to meet audiences. Ticket booths are outdated and poorly designed which limits the adult box office manager's ability to see or work with student ushers. The lobbies also have no furniture for guests to sit while waiting for the house to open. Goal 1 Accessibility/ Inclusiveness Renovations / Upgrades Accessibility ADA – Only one Elevator in the building and it slows students from getting to class on time. Maintenance/ HVAC Renovations / Upgrades Program Needs Science department – ventilation needs for acids, etc. rooms 234, 238, etc. Goal 2 Curriculum & Programming New Space / Facility Program Needs Lack of large space for general ed and special ed.
