It’s been a busy week for the BuildTeam.
On Friday we met with the architect again and received the preliminary sketches from him – very exciting! Seeing drawings of the proposed building has really made the project feel real and seeing the building on a larger plan of the school has given us a good sense of how the whole school will be revitalised by this project. With the architect we paced out the size of the building to get sense of how it will sit on the land and what footprint it will have on the school. We also started to think about how we are going to make the landscape and play areas around the new building as exciting as the building itself.
On Monday evening we had the school community consultation. There were representatives from all groups in our community – school council members, teachers and parents – fantastic. We looked at the project to date and analysed our objectives for the proposed building. We then took a good look at the architectural drawings and tried to measure our objectives against these. Mostly the plans held up pretty well, which is a good indication that we are on the rights track. The issues that did come up will go back to the architect for him to work on over the school holidays.
If anyone is interested in seeing the plans or reviewing the notes from our community consultation night these are available from Julianna in the office.
Have a happy Easter and a good break.
