Some suggestions related to future needs from the committee were:
- Start building multi-storied buildings with panels on top for solar. Brock reminded the committee about our soil problems and the settling of buildings. In addition, Jose added current buildings were not built to sustain an additional story. Building multiple stories will definitely be considered in the future for new structures.
- Identify what things need to be on-campus or adjacent.
- The Vocational Building will be 2-story.
- Does CDC need to be in their area? Can they be moved?
- Sports complex – try to keep all sports in the same area.
Brock said he plans to have more updates as well as a map of where the previous request will go. Also his goal is to have the FMP ready for board approval by July, 2015.
Other:
Craig Johnson brought up the issue of replacing the marquee and the cost. He shared the El Capitan High School in Merced just installed a new one. He will provide the committee with a picture at one of the upcoming meetings.
