He and other authors, including Whit- by head librarian Ken Roberts, visited the sehool as part of both National Book Festival Week and Education Week. Free )Press photo Sketch plans shown for Costain,,sehool The public sehool planned ta be built in the Fallingbrook subdivision north of Rossland Rd. and west of Anderson St. bas been projected to cost more than $4.5 million and will acconi- modate an estimated 447 students when opened in September, 1989. At last week's property and transportation meeting, during which sketch plans for the school were reviewed by the Durhami public board8s construction coordinatar Ted Beauchamp, Whitby trustee Patty Bowman said she was "thrilled"' at the design and creativity proposed in drawings of the school. Beauchamp said the structure would have a sloping, metal roof which might make the question of brick or block "equite insignificant." He was referring ta a previous Town requirement for a brick exterior, rather than block, on another Whitby public school. The board had originally wanted block, and later decided, after the Town requirement, ta make the entire exterior brick. Beauchamp said that at a meeting, John Austin of the Whitby planning department seemed "Impressed" by the school design. "We don't think he~s going ta make big issue this time," said Beauchamp. The projected cost of the school includes a brick fr-ont.* T ýrustees generally commended the design by a Richmond Hill architect firm. The library will be-the *central feature of the main classroo0m area and, was described as the "highlight" of the building. It will be illuminated by a skylight froin the roof of the second stary. Together with a floor drop of about two and half feet, the library will "create an interesting volume," it was The entrance to the school was also described as being "of a cathedral type. treatment." There will be barrier-free access ta the second floor and stage/lunch room, Beauchamp said. The school will have il classrooms, two kindergartens, a special education rooni,- academic resource room, science rooni, art rooni, instrument music room, two changeroonis, health room, general purpose room (double) and guidance rooni in addition ta the library resource centre. Beau 'champ said there will also, be the "by now standard day care" facility, which will have a floor area of 2,850 sq. ft. The school, a two-story structure, will have a total floor area of 41,630 sq. ft. Provision will be made for 'a six-classroom relocatable addition and up to 10 portables. One concern of Bowman and- other trustees was the absence of industrial arts and family studies' roonis. Manager of transportation Jack Uptan responded that both facilities had been planned for the future public school in the Graywood subdivision north of Rossland and west of Garden St. When Bowman asked if those facilities would be adequate for aIl of Whitby, Uptan said that was the intention. Bowman, who said she understood that the Costain school was .ta have industrial arts' and family studies' roonis, asked for a report. A committee made up of Bowman, Whitby trustee John Buchanan and Scugog trustae Donna Tredway will investi àea name for-the.school.-- The sanie -É scoldesign .bas been -planned for a- future -,Pickering school.
