The building is the only part of the school with window, but teacher Deb Jones said that's not a problem. From the outside you see that there aren't any windows, but from the inside you don't notice it. Myers said Jones' reaction is common, and attributes it to the atmosphere created by the domes. Jones agreed that the circular classroom arrangement and spacious center areas encourage cooperation. This building is just made for it.
Visitors seem to notice it, too.
When the school opened its doors last October, those who came to look around were impressed. I remember always feeling cooped up in school, and you just don't get that sensation in here. It looks so different from outside, but inside it's really neat. Comments like those were music to the ears of Payson School Board members and administrators, who were responsible for the construction of the town's first domes. The multipurpose facility was completed this spring, and will be ready for use this summer or fall.
