Janice seconded the motion. All members were in favor 6--0 . COMMITTEE DISCUSSION Bill Martiros talked about the cafeteria. it is 50 x 100 feet. 100 foot wall is all glass. The ceiling ranges from 27 down to 22 feet high . He calculates that to be 127 , 000 cubic feet of space to heat. That space will be very expensive to heat. He would like to see figures from the architects on the cost to heat that space. Merry Sue noted the wall is not all glass . There is a lot of glass, but the ground floor is not all glass .
