The pool would be built next to Haas, moving the soccer field up 60 feet, and one of the tennis courts over. Under this plan, the Ming Quong Road, the divider between Alderwood and the soccer field, would be eliminated and the current pool would be cemented over and used as a courtyard with tables and chairs. According to the current director of the pool Themy-Jo Adachi, if the new pool is constructed it might expand Mills' athletic department with a swim team or a water polo team. If the proposal is passed by the Board of Trustees, construction will begin in the summer and would probably be finished next winter in a span of five to six months. There will also be general work on buildings with roofing, painting, and pavement.
Mills spends about a quarter of a million dollars every year on renovation and general work.
