So on the right there in the gray is the existing building and the white is the addition about a 10,000 square foot one story additional on the southwest side of the high school on the left. We're protecting the existing drive that circulates around the building and the fire lane axis in the far left there is at sick field. Take a look at the floor plan that brownish area on the right there that is your existing building where your math department's located in the existing pre engineering wood shop area. So on the left of that is the addition where you're seeing the colors there. So kind of the teal color is the geometry and construction in the center there is that direct adjacency to the wood shops important. And then just to the left of there is the robotics. So incorporating a practice field in there an area for their own dedicated space that is lacking right now. Below that we still have the math office that's currently located in its existing position. We did have to demolish two classrooms at that back area but we're relocating them in the addition. So those are those blue boxes. So we're adding a math classroom back in and then also a flex classroom that could be used for math and just different CTE purposes on the bottom left there is the Amps room dedicated room for them.

So those are those blue boxes. So we're adding a math classroom back in and then also a flex classroom that could be used for math and just different CTE purposes on the bottom left there is the Amps room dedicated room for them. That has all their equipment classroom a couple breakout rooms and storage and then the addition will have its own entrance vestibule there that you're seeing on the left and then ramp down to grade and the stair leading to the parking lot to the north. So. I hear some 3D views. So in the back is the existing building and the kind of the front of the screen is the addition. So this corner we're looking at the robotics there with those corner windows. So the goal here is to really tie in with the existing building. So having some brick that matches the existing and wider band at the top having some metal panel some sun shades to protect the direct sun into the robotics space as well. And then on the right there you see the glazed vestibule entrance. Looking at the PAC improvements still relatively what we've had before. So on the top there looking at the band choir and orchestra rooms. They have some loud noise. So how do we treat that acoustically auditorium looking at some light interior finish upgrades. So secret placement some carpet there behind the stage incorporating an 88 lift. So currently the only way to get on stage is an 88 lift at the seating area.

So secret placement some carpet there behind the stage incorporating an 88 lift. So currently the only way to get on stage is an 88 lift at the seating area. And then once the students on their performer they're kind of stuck on stage to the end. So having that back door access to an 88 lift into that back area of the building will help ease that need. Also looking at the restrooms of the auditorium given the good refresh as well. And then incorporating a new school store at the main entry there to display the school gear. So that's currently located where Hounds Grounds would be. So we would relocate that to the Commons level of the high school where there's an underutilized bookstore area. Here we just have some snapshots of the acoustic report for the band choir and orchestra. There's a lot of information on here but just high level that table on the right. So we did do some sound testing that the those three spaces the noise levels were coming in high about 50 decibels approximately in each space. So on the left there is just a summary and some recommendations. So really we're looking at those top three items replacing some fan terminal units some duct liner looking at relocating some compressors that are creating some vibration on the floor in the orchestra room. And then creating a soft it just to help that noise. So trying to get that NC rating down to that 30 decibels.

And then creating a soft it just to help that noise. So trying to get that NC rating down to that 30 decibels. And that wraps up the high school. We step away. I'm focusing on Glenridge for these questions. That's I think the consensus kind of the triage list. It's the first one. And I've been trying to kind of come up with a way to articulate what we're doing there in simple terms. And if I were to say that the drivers of the big structural changes at Glenridge were moving educational spaces out of the basement creating these extended learning spaces. And I want to ask you to describe what those are. And then the larger gym. Is it those three? Is that an accurate is there another big driver of the structural changes beyond those three? I mean, I know there's lots of changes that are being made, but I'm trying to simply describe why we're making large structural changes at these buildings. And that was what I've come up with. Yeah, well, I would also add this need for a storm shelter to that list as an important one. I when we had the three workshops with your elementary school groups and came up with a program that's a equitable program across the elementary as we talked a lot about teaching and learning and Clayton and what you're doing and trying to do in your classrooms and what you can't do because you're hindered by the space.

Yeah, well, I would also add this need for a storm shelter to that list as an important one. I when we had the three workshops with your elementary school groups and came up with a program that's a equitable program across the elementary as we talked a lot about teaching and learning and Clayton and what you're doing and trying to do in your classrooms and what you can't do because you're hindered by the space. And so the the consensus around the group and while they look like classrooms right now, we'll be developing those further to have more connectivity, more agility to change in size and shape, especially a captain where they're open right now. Right. There's a lot of they're already doing those kind of things together, but they don't have that space that's not assigned classroom space. So all the classrooms are right sized. They're all equitable in size now across all the schools. They all get small group spaces and support of educators coming into and pulling out kids within their peer groups with them together as well as students working together in small groups and the extended learning areas are just that they're an extension of the classroom. So if you're not in direct instruction mode, if you're in project mode or you're doing things, kids can have direct line of sight to their teachers and be working in the space that's really an extension of classrooms, a larger than their classroom. So you might want to add to that.
