The computers account for 30 seats, how many additional seats should ther <br /> be in the library? <br /> Does the Committee want windows to the hall ? Something to be decided. <br /> Ray Bordwell envisioned a variety of seating in the library. He suggested <br /> 30 computer seats down the middle with 35 additional seats on each side. <br /> They will start with that. <br /> Visual Art: Ray suggested this be 2 teaching stations separated by a huge <br /> storage area, with storage of all types . <br /> The kiln dry room needs a separate room where it can be controlled a Litt_ <br /> better. <br /> Music: there is music storage for sheet music, books , tapes, CD 's etc. anc <br /> instrument storage. <br /> Bill Martiros has a problem with the 800 sq ft classroom - can ' t that take <br /> place in the coral room or auditorium? <br /> Merry Sue explained an auditorium is an inappropriate space for teaching <br /> and the coral room will be set up with risers and already has a dual use <br /> with the band . <br /> Janice suggested the practice rooms have windows . <br /> The Committee agreed 3 practice rooms are enough . <br /> Theater: does the Committee want a orchestra pit? <br /> **The Committee agreed they need orchestra space but do not want to <br /> pay for a pit. ** <br /> Joe asked about the handicapped requirements? <br /> Ray explained that you cannot isolate handicapped seating . They have <br /> reduced the required space from 11 s . f to 9 . 3 sq feet. <br /> Green Rooms : it would be nice to have them but they are not useable for <br /> anything else . There is plenty of other space , nearby, that could serve <br /> this purpose . <br /> **The Committee agreed to eliminate the Green Room. <br /> Toilets: the back wing should have some bathrooms. <br /> **The Committee agreed to leave them in . ** <br /> Academic Classrooms : <br /> Dr . Calabro explained with 31 classrooms, your scheduling factor will have <br /> to be 86 . 77%. He would like the Committee to make their decision based on <br /> knowledge, not square foot limitations. <br /> Merry Sue accepts the 31 classrooms because there are a lot of other spaces <br /> the students will be using . She thinks every student should be in a <br /> classroom someplace , maybe not one of these room but they should be <br /> scheduled to be in one of the many other spaces in the building . <br /> Peter asked Ray Bordwell to explain his perspective on this. <br /> Ray stated there is a certain amount of sq footage you can build , based on <br /> how much you can afford, you can then program for any scheduling efficiency <br /> rate you can afford . If you choose an efficiency rate of 50%, for example , <br /> You cannot then add all the additional things you need or want, at 155 sq <br /> foot per student. If you tell me you have to have more than 31 classroom <br /> spaces, then tell me what other spaces you want to get rid of. He does not <br /> have any specific recommendations- he is presenting options and choices to <br /> talk about. <br /> Ed Frenette said the recommendation is, if we put more classrooms in there, <br /> we have to take out of somewhere else. If you build an 800 sq foot space <br /> for 24 kids, you have to call it a classroom. <br /> 6 <br />
