II is proposed by the Plainville
town school committee to recommend
TO the town at least nine-room
school building on the new site on
Linden street. This building to be
constructed of brick with flre-proof
stairways and halls and furnace room.
The construction throughout to be
solid and durable with inexpensive
trimmings as the cut will indicate,
but so planned and constructed that
It will be pleasing to the eye and
thoroughly practical according to lat
est designs for buildings for school
use.
From the experience of the town
in erecting the present brick building
on Broad street, it has been found
impractical to arrange the basement
including coal bins, furnaces, play
rooms, and toilets in satisfactory
manner unless the first unit consists
of more than four rooms For this
reason. and as has already been eS-
planned, because there will be need of
at least nine rooms, the committee
are recommending the construction of
at least nine-room building.
The total width of the building is
96 feet, only few feet more than
the present brick building, and the
depth Of the building from front to
rear including a one-room extension
in the rear Of the corridor is 81 feet,
six inches
If this building is constructed, it
will probably be necessary to use the
four lower rooms for grades in Sep
tember, 1924, and three of the up
per rooms for high school. The |
following year, September, 1925, one
more upper room will be needed for
grades and one more for high school, |
and by September, 1926, the town
will need additional school accommo-
iations for its high school pupils. At
his time four additional rooms may
'e added to the present building, or
separate high school building
'rected.
The committee consulted with
number of architects and
inally selected the plans prepared by
X. Perry of New Britain. The
arrangements made by the committee
With Mr. Perry do not obligate the
own for any expense in connection
With the plans unless they are ac-
epted by the town.
