School officials are quick to add the expansion will not increase the cur- rent student capacity for the Junior Kindergarten to OAC school. Private school seeks input on proposed expansion plans Estimated to carry a $5.5 million price tag, Barkman said most of the financing would beprovided by a mortgage while the school would put into place a $2.5 million fund raising effort contained to the St. Mildred’s “family.” Integrated into the plan is improved school bus access at the front of the school. The change is aimed at improving student safety and reducing traffic congestion on Linbrook Drive‘. Parking will be expanded and shifted to the school’s west side where it will be carefully screened by trees and existing tennis Architect Bill Mockler, of the Toronto firm Wayne J. Swadron and Associates, said bay windows, a roof well to conceal heating and cooling equipment from view on the roof, Enlarging the school’s “footprint” by 16% on its seven-acre lot, the addition is geared to better accommo- date academic needs - particularly science, arts and'athletics - for the school’s existing 650-student capaci- (Continued from page 2) 700 Kerr Street) to call Peggy Horsey at 845-2386 to confirm a date.

Basket making workshop for adults In the new basement area would be a dance/aerobics area to tie in with a fitness centre. Excess basement footage would provide storage area and room for growth down the road. Upper levels of the additions would also house individual photog- raphy darkrooms and a pottery stu- dio. Major features include a closed-in, high tech senior resource centre comâ€" plete with study areas and a senior guidance/career centre. “A science and technology hub is another key area,” said Barkman, Other features would include an arts and culture centre, a larger, tiered music room with improved acoustics (one that could accommodate an entire orchestra and still provide indi- vidual practice rooms), an all-pur- pose (black box) drama room. A model which will be the focal point of discussion with neighbors, ratepayers and politicians in meetings slated over the next two months, shows an eye-level view of the rear addition as minimally discernible from street view. Eight new classrooms along with two seminar rooms will prOvide more space and areas to effectively provide group study. Duckworth said if the plans are shutters, a slanted roof and white trim is all geared to give the planned addi- tion the appearance of ahouse-like, rear addition structure.

At the rear of the proposed extenâ€" sion would be an all-purpose surface that could be used by sports, recre- ation, even overflow parking. Parking reconfigurations and a new side lot would nearly doubling parking by taking the current 64 spaces to 127. In all, the proposed addition mea- sures approximately 40,000 square feet - 24,000 square ft. excluding the new basement square footage. The most recent addition at St. Mildred’s was completed in 1986 when the whole front portion of the school was replaced. The plans at that time did upset some in the com~ munity. A less defined renewal plan for the school’s junior facilities is cur- rently dependant on how the proposal is seen, however, if that is approved, the junior school would be upgraded or accommodated in the current senior facility, ie. the current senior resource centre would become that for the juniors, an upgraded cafeteria as well as use of the new facilities. “The approach taken was slightly different and I think the school has learned significantly,” said Mockler, nOting this time neighborhood con- cemswere an important factor in design of the building. approved, students will be helping with design ideas as the construction plans are integrated into their class- room work projects.
