Probably the biggest change this month is the huge hole in the existing library courtyard. Over spring break the concrete was removed and the hole dug. It needs to be very deep since the base of a three story elevator must be put in this place.
Handicapped accessibility is one of the major issues addressed by the renovation project.
In addition to the elevator, restrooms will be made accessible. This one is on the main corridor of the new media center. The new professional library off the new library will house videos, CD-ROMs, videodiscs and software used in our curriculum as well as professional print materials for teachers. The audiovisual room will house equipment for downloading programs from cable TV for classroom instruction as well as providing much needed storage. The media specialist's office has an area especially for the preparation of materials that will be housed in the media center.
