Be
prepared! Changes are happening to a school near you! It is proposed
that, at this point in the year 2014, the MVL library will have had a
makeover. Over the past few years there has been discussion regarding
the use of the library. Within the past six months this discussion has
been transformed into a reality as architects were consulted and plans
were drawn up to remake the library into a more user-friendly, learning
based environment. According to Mr. Plath, “We want to make this area
more user friendly, more attractive and more functional to the needs of
our students.”
After
the project is finished, the library will be its own enclosed room in
the school. Room 221 will no longer exist and, in it’s place will be
more library space. As seen in fig. 1, the hallway from the purple
lockers will be continuing behind the now-existing library desk to the
back two classrooms with a wall and windows on the right side of the
hall.
This
new library space would include individual study desks, an additional
number of computers, as well as group stations for studying together.
The walls would be repainted, flooring updated, and windows installed
to complete this new room in MVL.
While
all of this talk of change is exciting, keep in mind that all of these
plans are still in process and are subject to change. It is the plan
that this exciting project will be started as soon as school lets out
for summer vacation and will be completed before the new school year of
2014.
