00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:05.500
{Music}

2
00:00:06.006 --> 00:00:07.307
So we'll get started.

3
00:00:07.307 --> 00:00:08.875
Thank you all for being here tonight.

4
00:00:08.875 --> 00:00:10.710
Appreciate it.

5
00:00:10.710 --> 00:00:11.911
We'll jump right in.

6
00:00:11.911 --> 00:00:14.347
So just a little bit
about our agenda tonight.

7
00:00:14.347 --> 00:00:18.084
We'll do some quick introductions
of the team that's here tonight.

8
00:00:18.118 --> 00:00:19.486
We'll be presenting.

9
00:00:19.486 --> 00:00:21.454
We'll talk a little bit
about the vision and goals

10
00:00:21.454 --> 00:00:25.125
that we've established throughout
the process of meeting with the community

11
00:00:25.325 --> 00:00:28.328
and talking with the staff
and the students over the last,

12
00:00:29.295 --> 00:00:32.298
what, four months, Gaby or more?

13
00:00:32.899 --> 00:00:34.834
Yeah. And then, what?

14
00:00:34.834 --> 00:00:38.538
Chris, we'll talk about engagement
today, across the community.

15
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.474
And we'll he'll talk a little bit
about partnerships

16
00:00:41.474 --> 00:00:45.145
that we're exploring as we continue
to move this community project forward.

17
00:00:45.645 --> 00:00:47.847
And then, Gaby and Mike

18
00:00:47.847 --> 00:00:51.518
and I will talk about Master plan
concepts and development.

19
00:00:51.918 --> 00:00:55.588
We'll pause at that point after we present
a lot of information to all of you.

20
00:00:55.889 --> 00:00:57.724
Let you guys ask questions.

21
00:00:57.724 --> 00:00:59.793
Get feedback from you.

22
00:00:59.793 --> 00:01:03.329
And then we have a table activity
where we're going to use the master plan

23
00:01:03.329 --> 00:01:07.467
concept to answer three questions
with, with all of you tonight.

24
00:01:07.467 --> 00:01:10.837
And so we'll divide up
into roughly about 12 tables

25
00:01:11.171 --> 00:01:14.607
and then, break you down and
have you answer three questions for us.

26
00:01:14.774 --> 00:01:16.676
So off we go.

27
00:01:17.944 --> 00:01:20.780
So just a little bit about overall project
schedule.

28
00:01:20.780 --> 00:01:23.783
We've talked about this in the past
in the community meetings.

29
00:01:23.817 --> 00:01:27.587
The district funded this through
a certificate of participation in,

30
00:01:28.354 --> 00:01:32.892
85% of that money
needs to be Samant by June of 2027.

31
00:01:33.259 --> 00:01:37.697
And so we are working towards that goal
as a team and a community.

32
00:01:37.697 --> 00:01:39.365
And so the master planning process,

33
00:01:39.365 --> 00:01:43.303
as you can see on the slide here, we're
trying to wrap that up here in January.

34
00:01:43.603 --> 00:01:47.373
We will start the next phase of design,
which is really called schematic design.

35
00:01:47.507 --> 00:01:51.344
So what you'll see tonight
are programing diagrams

36
00:01:51.344 --> 00:01:55.315
and concepts about the solution,
but they're not really floor plans.

37
00:01:55.348 --> 00:01:57.217
They're not really all fleshed out.

38
00:01:57.217 --> 00:02:00.487
We still need a lot of feedback
and we will work on that next step,

39
00:02:00.487 --> 00:02:04.190
which is floor plans and elevations
during schematic design

40
00:02:04.424 --> 00:02:07.026
and start to integrate
some of our partners, both construction

41
00:02:07.026 --> 00:02:10.964
wise from a construct ability standpoint
and then also our mechanical,

42
00:02:11.197 --> 00:02:15.368
electrical, plumbing,
civil, structural, acoustical engineering.

43
00:02:15.502 --> 00:02:18.404
All of those things will start
to get integrated in the project.

44
00:02:18.404 --> 00:02:20.640
The next phase is design development.

45
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:23.643
Architects aren't that smart or creative
when it comes to words.

46
00:02:23.743 --> 00:02:27.147
We like to draw
and so design development is exactly that.

47
00:02:27.147 --> 00:02:29.415
We're just developing the design further

48
00:02:29.415 --> 00:02:32.018
and integrating more of those systems
together.

49
00:02:32.018 --> 00:02:36.222
The last phase is construction documents
that we would complete by this fall,

50
00:02:36.556 --> 00:02:40.527
in order to work with Ada and Peterson
and our team to start construction.

51
00:02:41.227 --> 00:02:44.264
There probably will be some enabling work
that happens this summer.

52
00:02:44.564 --> 00:02:47.700
It will not affect students
in a major way in the fall.

53
00:02:48.034 --> 00:02:52.338
This summer
there's a possibility that we start some

54
00:02:52.572 --> 00:02:55.942
some more significant
construction in the fall,

55
00:02:56.209 --> 00:02:59.279
and we will talk about that
as we get further in the process.

56
00:02:59.712 --> 00:03:02.682
The first phase is really to get through
this master planning process,

57
00:03:02.682 --> 00:03:05.351
and then we can talk about some of
those details in the future.

58
00:03:08.588 --> 00:03:10.156
I guess I should pause there.

59
00:03:10.156 --> 00:03:11.958
Is there any questions that I.

60
00:03:11.958 --> 00:03:13.826
Any questions about.

61
00:03:13.826 --> 00:03:14.894
Okay. I'm sorry.

62
00:03:14.894 --> 00:03:16.829
Let's do that.

63
00:03:16.829 --> 00:03:17.964
You just wanted to check that.

64
00:03:17.964 --> 00:03:19.265
I guess I asked for it, right?

65
00:03:19.265 --> 00:03:21.868
I'm Chris Lieber, within a yes.

66
00:03:21.868 --> 00:03:23.836
I'm part of the project team
and really helping out

67
00:03:23.836 --> 00:03:26.372
with the community engagement process.
I'm sorry.

68
00:03:26.372 --> 00:03:27.407
I'm Doug abernethy.

69
00:03:27.407 --> 00:03:29.742
I'm a principal at RTI architects here.

70
00:03:29.742 --> 00:03:32.712
Here in town.

71
00:03:32.712 --> 00:03:33.413
Mike Riggs,

72
00:03:33.413 --> 00:03:36.416
I'm an associate principal
at RTI architects.

73
00:03:37.684 --> 00:03:38.585
Gabby burman

74
00:03:38.585 --> 00:03:41.588
I'm a senior associate with Perkins
Eastman.

75
00:03:42.822 --> 00:03:44.224
Jennifer, come on here.

76
00:03:44.224 --> 00:03:47.227
She's.

77
00:03:47.594 --> 00:03:48.094
Jennifer.

78
00:03:48.094 --> 00:03:51.097
Hotel. I'm the capital program manager.

79
00:03:51.464 --> 00:03:54.801
And Jessica Wise, executive
director of engagement for the district.

80
00:03:55.235 --> 00:03:56.636
And, I'm Krista.

81
00:03:56.636 --> 00:03:58.771
Tony, introduce,

82
00:03:58.771 --> 00:04:01.274
and I'm Tony singer here
with a Olson and Peterson construction.

83
00:04:01.274 --> 00:04:04.210
And we've got our construction
team back here right

84
00:04:05.845 --> 00:04:08.248
now that Tony has been Mike.

85
00:04:08.248 --> 00:04:10.817
Now that Tony has the mic,
we're going to switch.

86
00:04:10.817 --> 00:04:12.118
So just a little bit about,

87
00:04:12.118 --> 00:04:15.288
the foundational things
that we've heard from the community.

88
00:04:15.555 --> 00:04:16.956
And as we move through this process,

89
00:04:16.956 --> 00:04:19.425
we want to continue to honor
as we move forward.

90
00:04:19.425 --> 00:04:22.528
So the the original vision of Palmer,

91
00:04:22.895 --> 00:04:25.999
of General Palmer
here in Colorado Springs

92
00:04:25.999 --> 00:04:30.999
and having a school on this site
since 1871 is foundational

93
00:04:31.037 --> 00:04:34.040
to sort of the process
as we move forward as a team

94
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.243
and we want to continue to.

95
00:04:39.245 --> 00:04:40.880
As a team, it's been loud and clear

96
00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:44.450
from the community, from the feedback
that we've gained through this process.

97
00:04:44.751 --> 00:04:47.520
And we're going to continue to keep this
at the forefront of our process

98
00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:48.454
as we move forward.

99
00:04:50.223 --> 00:04:52.558
The IB philosophy that is

100
00:04:52.558 --> 00:04:57.558
foundational now in in more recent times
for Palmer High School is still a focus

101
00:04:58.364 --> 00:05:02.368
for both the district and the school
and Christa and her team and their staff.

102
00:05:02.702 --> 00:05:05.905
And that will still be
a foundational thing for Palmer

103
00:05:05.905 --> 00:05:10.905
as we move forward to continue to leverage
IB that instructional model

104
00:05:11.344 --> 00:05:14.814
and to continue to serve all the students
that, attend.

105
00:05:14.814 --> 00:05:17.817
Palmer, as we move forward.

106
00:05:19.419 --> 00:05:20.720
And then community engagement.

107
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.622
Thank you for all being here tonight.

108
00:05:22.622 --> 00:05:25.558
As you know,
we've touched a lot of folks over the

109
00:05:25.558 --> 00:05:27.393
the 4 or 5 months
that we've been working together.

110
00:05:27.393 --> 00:05:28.961
And Chris
is going to talk about this more.

111
00:05:28.961 --> 00:05:32.265
But your input is key
to the future of this project

112
00:05:32.265 --> 00:05:35.134
and the solutions
that we come up with as a community.

113
00:05:37.270 --> 00:05:37.670
And then

114
00:05:37.670 --> 00:05:40.206
there is a rich history
that we've explored,

115
00:05:40.206 --> 00:05:43.309
and we continue to dive into
as we move through this process,

116
00:05:43.710 --> 00:05:47.847
as we move through more of the design
solutions, you'll hear more of the

117
00:05:47.847 --> 00:05:51.284
some of those key people
that have been part of the Palmer history,

118
00:05:51.584 --> 00:05:56.322
the arts that have been here at Palmer,
and the staff and the students.

119
00:05:56.656 --> 00:05:59.559
And we're going to continue
to celebrate those things as we move

120
00:05:59.559 --> 00:06:02.562
into this next phase
for Palmer High School.

121
00:06:03.496 --> 00:06:06.666
And then lastly,
athletics, health, well-being,

122
00:06:07.033 --> 00:06:10.336
a central to the identity of Palmer
High School.

123
00:06:10.636 --> 00:06:13.139
We've heard that a lot
through this process.

124
00:06:13.139 --> 00:06:16.175
And then it's also part of the DNA
of Colorado Springs.

125
00:06:16.175 --> 00:06:19.178
As we move forward.

126
00:06:20.179 --> 00:06:22.815
And preservation of history and tradition.

127
00:06:22.815 --> 00:06:26.319
We're working very closely with Judy
and the Alumni Association

128
00:06:26.586 --> 00:06:29.555
and continue to explore opportunities
that we can.

129
00:06:29.555 --> 00:06:32.692
Talk about the history of Palmer
High School, celebrate

130
00:06:32.692 --> 00:06:35.695
that and share that
with both the incoming students

131
00:06:35.828 --> 00:06:38.965
and with the future Palmer students
and the community at large.

132
00:06:39.232 --> 00:06:41.634
As we move forward on this project.

133
00:06:43.369 --> 00:06:45.705
So with
that, I'm going to turn it over to Chris.

134
00:06:45.705 --> 00:06:48.441
Great. Thanks, Doug.

135
00:06:48.441 --> 00:06:50.209
A bit just real quickly here.

136
00:06:50.209 --> 00:06:54.614
I count
at least 15 additional seats up front.

137
00:06:54.881 --> 00:06:59.051
So not only will you be able to see
better, but, we'll also be very helpful,

138
00:06:59.452 --> 00:07:01.120
when we get to kind
of the group exercises.

139
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:06.120
So if you're not interested in coming up
now, I encourage you to do so, later.

140
00:07:06.292 --> 00:07:09.295
So please do that.

141
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.836
How many of you have been to at least one

142
00:07:16.836 --> 00:07:20.673
other, community engagement
meeting with us along the journey?

143
00:07:20.907 --> 00:07:23.209
Excellent.
How many of you been? At least two.

144
00:07:23.209 --> 00:07:24.977
I see a lot of familiar faces.

145
00:07:24.977 --> 00:07:27.313
Thank you for staying with us.

146
00:07:27.313 --> 00:07:30.716
And, continuing
to be part of this process.

147
00:07:30.983 --> 00:07:34.320
And I think one of the things you'll see
tonight is how the how the design

148
00:07:34.487 --> 00:07:38.324
has really, evolved
based on a lot of your, your feedback.

149
00:07:38.324 --> 00:07:39.592
So thank you.

150
00:07:39.592 --> 00:07:42.695
We've got a lot of numbers
here on the screen.

151
00:07:42.728 --> 00:07:46.866
You know, this big number in the middle
that happens to be the number of folks

152
00:07:46.866 --> 00:07:50.970
we have reached through, through emails,
through social media, through newsletters.

153
00:07:51.304 --> 00:07:55.041
But that 36,000 isn't the number
that I'm most excited about.

154
00:07:55.041 --> 00:07:55.842
It's actually.

155
00:07:59.512 --> 00:08:00.780
Surveys through,

156
00:08:00.780 --> 00:08:03.783
direct conversations,
through our meetings,

157
00:08:03.950 --> 00:08:07.420
all of those, data and collection
gathering points over

158
00:08:07.420 --> 00:08:11.257
2200 people have really weighed
in, on this process.

159
00:08:11.290 --> 00:08:12.992
We're excited about that.

160
00:08:12.992 --> 00:08:15.461
And equally excited that we've been able

161
00:08:15.461 --> 00:08:20.461
to engage over 400 students and, teachers
and staff here in really shaping,

162
00:08:20.967 --> 00:08:24.303
this design in the process so far.

163
00:08:24.904 --> 00:08:28.708
So I know we've we all went
through the holidays for our team.

164
00:08:28.741 --> 00:08:30.443
It was actually a busy time.

165
00:08:30.443 --> 00:08:33.446
A lot of things, happening
both in the month of December

166
00:08:33.713 --> 00:08:37.450
as well,
most recently here in, in January.

167
00:08:37.717 --> 00:08:40.786
Throughout this process,
we've been updating the website.

168
00:08:41.053 --> 00:08:44.323
How many of you have
at least touch the website?

169
00:08:44.323 --> 00:08:45.591
Gone and checked it out.

170
00:08:45.591 --> 00:08:46.125
All right.

171
00:08:46.125 --> 00:08:49.095
I encourage you to continue
to visit that site.

172
00:08:49.128 --> 00:08:52.164
One of the things that I think is
most important is that,

173
00:08:52.498 --> 00:08:55.635
we have a frequently asked questions
section.

174
00:08:55.835 --> 00:08:57.837
And so we, as we continue to hear.

175
00:09:01.641 --> 00:09:01.974
On the

176
00:09:01.974 --> 00:09:05.578
site so that, we all kind of
get that the same information.

177
00:09:05.845 --> 00:09:09.215
And if you're asking those questions,
we're guessing others are as well.

178
00:09:09.682 --> 00:09:11.784
We had a town hall meeting in December.

179
00:09:11.784 --> 00:09:16.155
One of the other pieces that's,
kind of running concurrently to this

180
00:09:16.455 --> 00:09:20.560
is that, the steering committee,
has been has been stood up.

181
00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:23.596
We've had two steering committee meetings,
so far,

182
00:09:23.596 --> 00:09:26.699
they've been very, very helpful for us
and providing guidance.

183
00:09:27.199 --> 00:09:31.337
We've continued to meet with, different,
different groups around the community,

184
00:09:31.871 --> 00:09:34.640
whether they be a city officials,

185
00:09:34.640 --> 00:09:37.810
or whether they be, conversations
about potential partnerships.

186
00:09:38.144 --> 00:09:40.813
One of the things that we heard
at our last meeting,

187
00:09:40.813 --> 00:09:45.284
and it's been a common, theme,
how can we best position,

188
00:09:45.284 --> 00:09:49.188
Palmer High School
to be connected into our community.

189
00:09:49.422 --> 00:09:52.224
And there's a wide variety of ways
in which the.

190
00:09:52.224 --> 00:09:53.125
That can be done.

191
00:09:53.125 --> 00:09:56.362
Some of those are programing,
opportunities.

192
00:09:56.495 --> 00:10:00.266
A lot of that the district is already,
taking advantage of

193
00:10:00.266 --> 00:10:03.269
there are numerous, partnerships,
that happen.

194
00:10:04.003 --> 00:10:06.238
But we've also been challenged to,

195
00:10:06.238 --> 00:10:09.742
to perhaps look a little deeper
into other potential, partners.

196
00:10:10.009 --> 00:10:12.878
And so we want to be able
to share a little bit about that with

197
00:10:12.878 --> 00:10:14.113
some of our touch points.

198
00:10:14.113 --> 00:10:18.250
Again, folks in our community
have encouraged us to do so,

199
00:10:18.250 --> 00:10:21.253
connecting with the YMCA
to see what opportunities,

200
00:10:21.253 --> 00:10:24.290
there might be, there
for, for shared facilities.

201
00:10:24.657 --> 00:10:28.361
Colorado Springs,
Conservatory is another group,

202
00:10:28.361 --> 00:10:32.365
that we've been chatting with,
specifically around performing arts,

203
00:10:33.199 --> 00:10:36.202
new Life Church, new life has been,

204
00:10:36.268 --> 00:10:39.271
meeting here at Palmer High School
for the past 13 years.

205
00:10:39.538 --> 00:10:43.275
And so that's another conversation
that's taking place, early

206
00:10:43.275 --> 00:10:44.777
childhood connections.

207
00:10:44.777 --> 00:10:49.215
For those of you that may be familiar,
obviously, early childhood, they,

208
00:10:49.515 --> 00:10:53.185
they, focus on,
a kind of preschool, age,

209
00:10:53.352 --> 00:10:57.456
kids, meeting with the Downtown
Partnership.

210
00:10:57.657 --> 00:10:59.659
Downtown partnership is the organization

211
00:10:59.659 --> 00:11:03.396
that kind of leads, downtown,
whether it be downtown development

212
00:11:03.629 --> 00:11:08.601
or the kind of the, downtown, presence,
fine Arts center.

213
00:11:08.734 --> 00:11:12.505
So that was a comment that came out
of our, our last, our last session.

214
00:11:12.505 --> 00:11:16.442
So we've met with fine arts to understand
what their, what perhaps programing

215
00:11:16.442 --> 00:11:21.442
opportunities
might be or exist and also, UX, again,

216
00:11:22.181 --> 00:11:26.686
primarily from a programing standpoint,
but we wanted to lean into all of these,

217
00:11:27.186 --> 00:11:30.856
we've had, good conversations
with many of these, partners.

218
00:11:30.856 --> 00:11:33.392
Those conversations are taking place.

219
00:11:33.392 --> 00:11:36.829
The team, as you will see in a bit,
I lost were Doug.

220
00:11:36.829 --> 00:11:41.829
Doug went to, Doug will be, and the team
will be sharing a little bit about what

221
00:11:42.068 --> 00:11:45.071
if we were to partner, what might that,

222
00:11:45.104 --> 00:11:48.007
those, kind of footprints or partnership.

223
00:11:51.143 --> 00:11:51.644
To, but

224
00:11:51.644 --> 00:11:55.347
also potential, utilizing,
some of that, space.

225
00:11:55.548 --> 00:11:59.318
So we're not here tonight with any
partnerships that are, are set in stone.

226
00:11:59.485 --> 00:12:02.488
They're very still much,
you know, part of the conversation

227
00:12:02.621 --> 00:12:05.458
and exploring, possibilities.

228
00:12:05.458 --> 00:12:08.027
So beyond that, maybe

229
00:12:08.027 --> 00:12:12.898
we have connected with some of you over
social media or through, newsletters,

230
00:12:12.998 --> 00:12:17.369
and we will continue to push out
messaging, as we move forward.

231
00:12:17.369 --> 00:12:20.372
So, again,
thank you for for being here tonight.

232
00:12:20.406 --> 00:12:24.076
At this point,
I'm gonna turn it over to Abby,

233
00:12:24.376 --> 00:12:28.214
who will, lead us, in a conversation

234
00:12:28.214 --> 00:12:31.183
about kind of the process
and how we, got to this point.

235
00:12:31.183 --> 00:12:32.418
Thank you.

236
00:12:32.418 --> 00:12:33.452
Awesome. Hey, everyone.

237
00:12:33.452 --> 00:12:35.254
My name is Gabby Berman again.

238
00:12:35.254 --> 00:12:37.623
Our master plan, process and development.

239
00:12:37.623 --> 00:12:39.592
We're really excited to take you through
this.

240
00:12:39.592 --> 00:12:41.527
We're essentially going
to go through a journey together. Okay.

241
00:12:41.527 --> 00:12:43.229
Where we started in October,

242
00:12:43.229 --> 00:12:45.898
there were some things that stood out,
some common themes.

243
00:12:45.898 --> 00:12:47.933
Same thing happened to us in December.

244
00:12:47.933 --> 00:12:49.668
And then we're going to take a step back,

245
00:12:49.668 --> 00:12:52.004
and we're going to
look at the broader scale,

246
00:12:52.004 --> 00:12:54.740
and then Mike's going to show us where
we've landed, essentially

247
00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:56.108
on our diagraming.

248
00:12:56.108 --> 00:12:59.311
Okay, I don't have the clicker switch.

249
00:12:59.311 --> 00:12:59.678
You there.

250
00:13:03.482 --> 00:13:03.916
All right.

251
00:13:03.916 --> 00:13:07.153
So back
in October and we had Omar with us.

252
00:13:07.153 --> 00:13:10.156
Unfortunately,
Omar was not able to make it this evening.

253
00:13:12.825 --> 00:13:16.395
And we heard from a number of you all
why some of these stood out.

254
00:13:16.395 --> 00:13:18.898
So that's what you're going to see
in these red blocks here.

255
00:13:18.898 --> 00:13:23.536
Concept one we saw Courtyard Heart
that had this heart of the school concept

256
00:13:23.536 --> 00:13:28.536
with an open atrium meaning a tall,
multistory space and then glass above.

257
00:13:29.308 --> 00:13:32.745
Very beautiful, inspiring space
where all learning is on display.

258
00:13:33.012 --> 00:13:36.015
Similar
to how the IB model is intended to be

259
00:13:36.315 --> 00:13:39.585
a building
that's truly reflective of that secondary.

260
00:13:39.585 --> 00:13:42.655
We heard there needs to be a primary
focus, even in the survey,

261
00:13:42.655 --> 00:13:45.758
on student safety
as they're moving across campus.

262
00:13:45.758 --> 00:13:47.359
And we'll show you a diagram
here in a minute to show

263
00:13:47.359 --> 00:13:49.762
just how many crossing points
are happening.

264
00:13:49.762 --> 00:13:53.132
But in that concept, two was driven
as the most pedestrian

265
00:13:53.132 --> 00:13:57.436
friendly option that was shown essentially
saying, can we close?

266
00:13:58.470 --> 00:14:00.706
Boulder Street and call it Palmer Place?

267
00:14:00.706 --> 00:14:03.709
Now you're going to see another variation
of that in today's model,

268
00:14:04.376 --> 00:14:05.811
concept three of Boulder Plaza.

269
00:14:05.811 --> 00:14:09.014
What really stood out there
was, can we have the opportunity

270
00:14:09.014 --> 00:14:11.984
for a multi-purpose field?

271
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.488
Student friendly

272
00:14:16.488 --> 00:14:20.726
and athletic supporting,
option of the three that were presented.

273
00:14:21.393 --> 00:14:23.929
So you've got part of the school closing

274
00:14:23.929 --> 00:14:26.932
boulder and a field on the site

275
00:14:26.999 --> 00:14:28.734
that took us to December.

276
00:14:28.734 --> 00:14:29.635
There were two options

277
00:14:29.635 --> 00:14:32.638
that were shown there,
essentially two variations on each other.

278
00:14:33.005 --> 00:14:35.474
The first one you're seeing

279
00:14:35.474 --> 00:14:37.610
a connecting bridge across Boulder Street.

280
00:14:37.610 --> 00:14:40.246
But what really stood out here again,
was the four season

281
00:14:40.246 --> 00:14:43.449
part of the school four season, meaning
you can come in at any time of year

282
00:14:43.449 --> 00:14:46.619
and you're just as connected
to the outdoors as you are to the indoors.

283
00:14:47.486 --> 00:14:50.589
We're that comprised of the dining
and the library pieces

284
00:14:50.856 --> 00:14:55.127
and a library, a lobby addition
at the front nine with athletics here.

285
00:14:55.294 --> 00:14:57.429
And then you're seeing that call out again
to the practice

286
00:14:57.429 --> 00:15:00.232
field happening on the North
as a recurring theme.

287
00:15:00.232 --> 00:15:01.767
And we took it a step further.

288
00:15:01.767 --> 00:15:06.572
And option one being asked, well,
if Boulder Street again becomes closed,

289
00:15:06.572 --> 00:15:09.675
you saw in the partnership conversations,
meeting with city officials.

290
00:15:09.675 --> 00:15:11.243
And I want to say
thank you to the city officials

291
00:15:11.243 --> 00:15:14.246
who have not only made time for that,
but are also here with us today,

292
00:15:15.047 --> 00:15:18.017
where Boulder Street is closed
and that becomes Palmer Place fully.

293
00:15:18.684 --> 00:15:22.454
There are academics and then a four season
half of the school dining and library.

294
00:15:22.855 --> 00:15:26.692
This is pretty much the same option as you
saw before with Boulder Street closed.

295
00:15:27.693 --> 00:15:28.160
So now

296
00:15:28.160 --> 00:15:31.196
before we do the drum roll
and we look at the upcoming option,

297
00:15:31.196 --> 00:15:34.199
we want to look at the broader context
one more time.

298
00:15:34.767 --> 00:15:35.868
There we go.

299
00:15:35.868 --> 00:15:38.671
So where we're located now,

300
00:15:38.671 --> 00:15:41.674
you've got the primary academic portion
of the building

301
00:15:42.074 --> 00:15:45.077
with the auxiliary gym,
tennis courts and parking,

302
00:15:45.945 --> 00:15:49.581
additional parking happening on this
end of the site and then ERPs field.

303
00:15:50.015 --> 00:15:53.986
Now, what does that transition
to as far as the student experience?

304
00:15:54.753 --> 00:15:56.822
What can I go back with this.

305
00:15:56.822 --> 00:15:58.357
Perfect okay.

306
00:15:58.357 --> 00:16:00.092
So we're going to call out
specific pieces.

307
00:16:00.092 --> 00:16:01.226
The bell.

308
00:16:01.226 --> 00:16:06.031
You'll see that again later 1939 building
happening here and along the auditorium.

309
00:16:06.699 --> 00:16:10.102
The stair tower at the front nine
being a primary characteristic.

310
00:16:10.102 --> 00:16:12.438
We heard that back in the student surveys.

311
00:16:12.438 --> 00:16:15.441
General Palmer
statue ERPs field again here

312
00:16:16.308 --> 00:16:19.411
and then I do want to call out
our partners as well, the YMCA

313
00:16:19.411 --> 00:16:23.415
just south of us, Acacia Park and United,
First United Methodist Church.

314
00:16:27.152 --> 00:16:29.655
When we're talking about vehicular traffic
on site,

315
00:16:29.655 --> 00:16:33.625
the primary drop off for parent
drop off is happening here.

316
00:16:33.625 --> 00:16:36.862
And you stand the site and then you have
your bus drop off on the north end.

317
00:16:37.830 --> 00:16:41.166
We're going to see how that translates
into the development as it has came today,

318
00:16:41.467 --> 00:16:45.104
especially with the idea of Boulder Street
essentially being closed off.

319
00:16:49.842 --> 00:16:51.076
This is what I want us

320
00:16:51.076 --> 00:16:54.046
to really
look at where these red dots are.

321
00:16:54.146 --> 00:16:56.515
That is everywhere,
where a student is having to cross

322
00:16:56.515 --> 00:16:57.616
from one street to the other.

323
00:16:57.616 --> 00:16:59.685
It's great
for pedestrian access for downtown,

324
00:16:59.685 --> 00:17:03.055
but maybe not the friendliest
for student experience on campus.

325
00:17:03.722 --> 00:17:06.925
So as we continued on, the development
as our part of our steering committee

326
00:17:06.925 --> 00:17:09.995
took a trip to DC
and got to see some of the urban campuses

327
00:17:09.995 --> 00:17:12.898
that were there that we reported on
in the December meeting.

328
00:17:12.898 --> 00:17:16.402
We started to really create zones
of program, and for that,

329
00:17:16.402 --> 00:17:18.904
I'm going to go ahead and pass it
to Mike to talk through some of that.

330
00:17:23.575 --> 00:17:24.243
Thanks.

331
00:17:24.243 --> 00:17:25.077
Thanks, Gabby.

332
00:17:25.077 --> 00:17:28.981
So all of that leads us to kind of

333
00:17:30.249 --> 00:17:33.252
how it informs
really where we're going with design.

334
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.122
So, you know,
establish begins somewhere else.

335
00:17:37.256 --> 00:17:38.991
Oh, there's slide here.

336
00:17:38.991 --> 00:17:39.825
Can I start?

337
00:17:39.825 --> 00:17:42.361
I'm just kidding.

338
00:17:42.361 --> 00:17:42.961
Thank you.

339
00:17:42.961 --> 00:17:45.864
I tend to dance around,
so I appreciate that.

340
00:17:45.864 --> 00:17:48.867
I totally understand.

341
00:17:49.001 --> 00:17:53.138
So this begins to, you know, all those
comments and the background of the.

342
00:17:58.410 --> 00:17:58.877
You know,

343
00:17:58.877 --> 00:18:02.514
what we need to enhance with
fields of fields was really important.

344
00:18:02.714 --> 00:18:05.684
We looked at this option of
how do we bring more field.

345
00:18:05.684 --> 00:18:08.787
And if we bring more field,
what does that do to our buildable

346
00:18:08.787 --> 00:18:09.855
area on the site.

347
00:18:09.855 --> 00:18:12.891
So this starts to inform
where we can put things.

348
00:18:12.891 --> 00:18:16.228
So you can see where we've identified
what would be a field zone

349
00:18:16.395 --> 00:18:17.629
and where our building zones are.

350
00:18:17.629 --> 00:18:19.832
And we look at this in two different ways,

351
00:18:19.832 --> 00:18:23.969
from an athletic standpoint,
but also from an academic standpoint.

352
00:18:24.736 --> 00:18:29.736
We also look at how are we going
to fundamentally honor the 1939 building.

353
00:18:30.309 --> 00:18:32.111
We know that's important.

354
00:18:32.111 --> 00:18:34.346
It's a fundamental trait of the project.

355
00:18:34.346 --> 00:18:37.483
So that has to
that has to remain a we're also going

356
00:18:37.483 --> 00:18:40.786
to look at new our entry points of
how do we make this safe and secure.

357
00:18:41.053 --> 00:18:44.056
Your Gabby went through
all the pedestrian points of access.

358
00:18:44.289 --> 00:18:48.527
The current campus being spread
on, on two blocks.

359
00:18:48.527 --> 00:18:50.496
You know, it's very permeable.

360
00:18:50.496 --> 00:18:53.632
So how do we define those entry points,
your honor?

361
00:18:53.632 --> 00:18:54.633
The front nine.

362
00:18:54.633 --> 00:18:58.637
Look at how we enter the academic conditio

363
00:19:00.472 --> 00:19:04.776
So. By limiting some of this,

364
00:19:04.776 --> 00:19:07.513
we want to define those pedestrian points
a little bit more clearly.

365
00:19:07.513 --> 00:19:10.816
And you can see how it begins to limit
the amount of,

366
00:19:11.717 --> 00:19:14.820
different points of pedestrian access
across and student

367
00:19:14.853 --> 00:19:18.056
travel interaction
with vehicles by consolidating a site,

368
00:19:18.757 --> 00:19:21.760
those pedestrian activities
are mostly focused internal to the site,

369
00:19:21.994 --> 00:19:25.831
while also kind of encouraging students
to go to downtown in a

370
00:19:25.898 --> 00:19:28.901
in a direct and meaningful manner.

371
00:19:31.003 --> 00:19:34.173
So from a a rival standpoint,
we you know, Gabby

372
00:19:34.173 --> 00:19:37.176
touched on it with our primary arterials
of being Nevada.

373
00:19:37.342 --> 00:19:42.342
And Platt, you know, and then Weber
being a general another frontage.

374
00:19:43.315 --> 00:19:46.084
We want to look at bus

375
00:19:46.084 --> 00:19:49.288
drop off potentially on Nevada
and allowing that

376
00:19:49.288 --> 00:19:52.391
to encourage students to use the
the front line as an entry point.

377
00:19:52.758 --> 00:19:54.560
Of course,
when you when you close Boulder,

378
00:19:54.560 --> 00:19:59.464
we need to put those busses somewhere
and then maintaining Weber as a,

379
00:19:59.531 --> 00:20:03.302
parent Drop-Off location
but doing that more purposefully. You.

380
00:20:07.139 --> 00:20:10.142
Weber finding parking can can be
can be a challenge.

381
00:20:10.142 --> 00:20:13.145
So we want to separate
and make that more purposeful.

382
00:20:15.514 --> 00:20:18.350
But one of the crowning,

383
00:20:18.350 --> 00:20:23.350
I guess, principles of Palmer
and the founding of of Color Springs

384
00:20:23.922 --> 00:20:26.124
is really capturing the views of Pikes
Peak.

385
00:20:26.124 --> 00:20:27.559
And Palmer has a tremendous

386
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:31.563
opportunity of opening up
those views to the west and to downtown.

387
00:20:31.830 --> 00:20:36.168
And by locating the buildings,
on Weber Street opens up that frontage

388
00:20:36.168 --> 00:20:40.172
to really capitalize on everything
that is, it is to the west of the site.

389
00:20:43.875 --> 00:20:47.512
So so as we move forward,
as Mike is describing.

390
00:20:47.512 --> 00:20:49.514
So this is the master plan concept

391
00:20:49.514 --> 00:20:53.085
that that builds on what Gaby and Mike
have just talked about.

392
00:20:53.385 --> 00:20:57.556
And so you can see
we have a track and a false and a field

393
00:20:57.556 --> 00:21:01.994
on, on this site, on the Nevada property

394
00:21:02.294 --> 00:21:05.831
and based on the zoning of the property
that we've, that Mike has established

395
00:21:05.831 --> 00:21:09.868
and Gaby have talked about,
we've consolidated the student activity

396
00:21:09.868 --> 00:21:13.038
onto this under this
consolidated block on campus.

397
00:21:13.038 --> 00:21:14.573
I'm on the wrong side, and I.

398
00:21:14.573 --> 00:21:16.041
I should be over here. Right.

399
00:21:16.041 --> 00:21:16.608
Thank you.

400
00:21:16.608 --> 00:21:21.608
We we build on what Gaby talked about,
and the community has given us feedback

401
00:21:21.747 --> 00:21:26.184
on when it comes to the four season heart
and honoring the 1939 building.

402
00:21:26.385 --> 00:21:30.088
So we're maintaining the 1939 building,
the front nine,

403
00:21:30.088 --> 00:21:34.359
the stair tower that that Gaby talked
about in the presentation.

404
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:35.294
It gives us the.

405
00:21:38.930 --> 00:21:41.266
Springs
by putting performing arts on this corner

406
00:21:41.266 --> 00:21:44.603
behind the auditorium, we're actually
going to reuse the auditorium.

407
00:21:44.603 --> 00:21:47.706
The, the the auditorium would be refreshed
through this process.

408
00:21:48.006 --> 00:21:50.509
It would probably be
slightly consolidated.

409
00:21:50.509 --> 00:21:53.512
So that as opposed to the balcony
being clear in the back.

410
00:21:53.745 --> 00:21:55.380
So you feel like you're sitting
so far away.

411
00:21:55.380 --> 00:21:56.014
If the balcony

412
00:21:56.014 --> 00:21:59.618
was a little closer to the stage,
it would be a better spectator experience.

413
00:21:59.851 --> 00:22:02.654
We could modernize that, auditorium.

414
00:22:02.654 --> 00:22:06.224
But performing arts on this corner,
it also allows us to,

415
00:22:06.258 --> 00:22:11.258
but I academics adjacent to that space
and to, build that

416
00:22:11.263 --> 00:22:15.033
in a phasing standpoint, be able
to construct that early in the process.

417
00:22:15.334 --> 00:22:16.935
And then also connect that.

418
00:22:16.935 --> 00:22:20.505
So the primary portion of Palmer
that we've talked about with,

419
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:23.575
with the alumni association
with the students

420
00:22:23.575 --> 00:22:27.512
becomes really,
the 39 building becomes a community asset.

421
00:22:27.813 --> 00:22:30.615
A lot of the activities,
the heart of the school,

422
00:22:30.615 --> 00:22:35.053
the alumni museum, those functions
sort of occur in the 1939 building.

423
00:22:35.387 --> 00:22:39.224
Academics becomes a 21st century
learning environment to support IB,

424
00:22:39.591 --> 00:22:42.361
the way that it really needs
to be supported moving forward

425
00:22:42.361 --> 00:22:44.329
for the next 50 years.

426
00:22:44.329 --> 00:22:47.332
And then as we explore partnerships,
as Chris described

427
00:22:47.499 --> 00:22:50.769
with the YMCA and opportunities
to partner with the community,

428
00:22:51.103 --> 00:22:54.106
it gives us an opportunity
to build an athletic complex

429
00:22:54.106 --> 00:22:57.442
on the east side of the site
to be able to access the field,

430
00:22:57.676 --> 00:23:01.947
but also the joint use,
of those facilities along Weber

431
00:23:01.947 --> 00:23:06.451
and create an opportunity
for us, as a team as we move forward.

432
00:23:07.586 --> 00:23:09.187
And this is all predicated

433
00:23:09.187 --> 00:23:12.357
on a discussion we've we've all talked
about, Boulder Street.

434
00:23:12.657 --> 00:23:14.893
There is a process that we have to go
through.

435
00:23:14.893 --> 00:23:16.928
And Chris would talk about this also.

436
00:23:16.928 --> 00:23:18.530
It's not a foregone conclusion.

437
00:23:18.530 --> 00:23:20.232
We have to go through the city process.

438
00:23:20.232 --> 00:23:23.435
We have to talk about the merits
of closing Boulder Street.

439
00:23:23.769 --> 00:23:25.771
We have to go through a planning
commission process.

440
00:23:25.771 --> 00:23:29.074
Ultimately, that has to go to city
council has to be voted on.

441
00:23:29.341 --> 00:23:31.476
And so it's not a foregone conclusion.

442
00:23:31.476 --> 00:23:35.147
But from a master plan concept
to improve safety and security,

443
00:23:35.414 --> 00:23:38.417
improve the student experience
and consolidate on two blocks.

444
00:23:38.717 --> 00:23:42.287
It's a great opportunity for us as
we look at a master plan for Palmer

445
00:23:42.287 --> 00:23:45.290
High School.

446
00:23:45.357 --> 00:23:46.057
Phasing will be

447
00:23:46.057 --> 00:23:49.060
one of the first questions
that one of the group will ask.

448
00:23:49.294 --> 00:23:52.764
As we've talked about early
on in the process, the really the focus

449
00:23:52.764 --> 00:23:55.767
for this group in this first
phase is academics

450
00:23:55.901 --> 00:23:59.070
and putting dollars as close to students
as we possibly can.

451
00:23:59.371 --> 00:24:02.174
It's one of the foundations
that the district has talked about.

452
00:24:02.174 --> 00:24:05.377
The board has talked about putting dollars
as close to students as we can.

453
00:24:05.610 --> 00:24:10.248
We're really focused on that first phase
of renovating the 1939 building

454
00:24:10.248 --> 00:24:13.385
and improving the academic opportunities
for students in the building

455
00:24:13.685 --> 00:24:17.122
as part of that process
also, and improve safety and security.

456
00:24:17.389 --> 00:24:19.825
We're going to continue those discussions
with the city

457
00:24:19.825 --> 00:24:21.092
and talk about Boulder Street.

458
00:24:23.295 --> 00:24:26.298
Anything I missed team at this point?

459
00:24:27.499 --> 00:24:28.733
Great.

460
00:24:28.733 --> 00:24:30.602
So just a little bit about Herb's field.

461
00:24:30.602 --> 00:24:33.205
What happens with Herb's field as well.

462
00:24:33.205 --> 00:24:34.673
Oh the oh excuse me.

463
00:24:34.673 --> 00:24:36.541
Thank you.

464
00:24:36.541 --> 00:24:37.876
The bell.

465
00:24:37.876 --> 00:24:39.978
So the bell. Good point.

466
00:24:39.978 --> 00:24:41.613
Judy asked this question last week,

467
00:24:41.613 --> 00:24:44.416
and I should have been prepared
to answer this question.

468
00:24:44.416 --> 00:24:48.286
The bell is still located
in the courtyard of Palmer,

469
00:24:48.620 --> 00:24:49.821
so that location

470
00:24:49.821 --> 00:24:53.825
may be not exactly where it is right now,
but that bell would still be celebrated.

471
00:24:53.825 --> 00:24:56.528
It's it's part of the tradition of Palmer
High School.

472
00:24:56.528 --> 00:24:57.963
It's a key component.

473
00:24:57.963 --> 00:25:01.066
It'll, Gabby will show you some sketches
a little bit later here,

474
00:25:01.333 --> 00:25:03.702
that her and Omar
have been working on that.

475
00:25:03.702 --> 00:25:06.004
Continue
to celebrate the location of the bell.

476
00:25:06.004 --> 00:25:08.807
So the bell stays in the courtyard
and is celebrated.

477
00:25:08.807 --> 00:25:09.674
Thank you. Chris.

478
00:25:11.610 --> 00:25:14.279
All right, so, as part of this process.

479
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:15.413
Oh, yes.

480
00:25:15.413 --> 00:25:18.350
What about now?

481
00:25:18.350 --> 00:25:19.618
That was right.

482
00:25:19.618 --> 00:25:22.721
Outside of the filter
I keep about our ideas and,

483
00:25:24.055 --> 00:25:27.025
yes, we we are going to keep the,

484
00:25:27.025 --> 00:25:30.428
the bell tower and the stair tower
that's on the existing building.

485
00:25:30.428 --> 00:25:30.629
Yeah.

486
00:25:30.629 --> 00:25:35.133
We are not we are not talking about
we may restore that or improve that,

487
00:25:35.133 --> 00:25:36.601
but we're not we're not going to

488
00:25:36.601 --> 00:25:40.739
fundamentally alter
the 1939 building from the exterior.

489
00:25:41.072 --> 00:25:41.973
Yes, ma'am.

490
00:25:41.973 --> 00:25:45.677
During phase one, what's happening
with athletics and people.

491
00:25:46.378 --> 00:25:50.181
So because, Herb's field is still staying
as it currently is,

492
00:25:50.181 --> 00:25:54.286
we would not we would not disrupt
ERPs field in this first phase.

493
00:25:54.286 --> 00:25:58.757
So Herb's field as it currently
sits would stay as it is right now.

494
00:25:59.124 --> 00:26:02.127
Everybody hear the question okay. Great.

495
00:26:02.260 --> 00:26:04.129
That's one question on the overall site
plan.

496
00:26:04.129 --> 00:26:07.499
Where is the parking going to end up
for the teachers and students.

497
00:26:07.766 --> 00:26:09.234
Yeah. Great question.

498
00:26:09.234 --> 00:26:13.605
So so as we continue
to explore opportunities and we continue

499
00:26:13.605 --> 00:26:16.908
to get feedback from the community
to think about partnerships

500
00:26:16.908 --> 00:26:20.912
and think about bigger opportunities,
we've actually started some conversations

501
00:26:20.912 --> 00:26:25.912
about having two levels of underground
parking below the athletic portion.

502
00:26:25.984 --> 00:26:28.486
So you can see kind of a light dashed line
there.

503
00:26:28.486 --> 00:26:33.158
We've actually talked about two below
grade parking levels on on this.

504
00:26:33.825 --> 00:26:37.228
There is some long discussions
that we need to continue to explore

505
00:26:37.228 --> 00:26:38.897
and the viability of that.

506
00:26:38.897 --> 00:26:41.866
But with Parking enterprise
and with meeting with

507
00:26:41.866 --> 00:26:44.869
some of the community partners,
there is a need for parking.

508
00:26:44.903 --> 00:26:46.338
As we all know, downtown.

509
00:26:46.338 --> 00:26:50.041
And it not only serves Palmer,
but the YMCA,

510
00:26:50.041 --> 00:26:54.179
First Presbyterian Church,
United Methodist, the the,

511
00:26:54.179 --> 00:26:57.816
the North part of Tejon Street,
the northern downtown portion of it.

512
00:26:58.083 --> 00:26:59.351
There is a parking need.

513
00:27:03.021 --> 00:27:05.890
The opportunities for those partnerships.

514
00:27:05.890 --> 00:27:08.893
Is it a foregone conclusion?
Absolutely not.

515
00:27:08.893 --> 00:27:11.262
We are going to continue
to have those conversations

516
00:27:11.262 --> 00:27:14.165
and look for those opportunities
where we can partner,

517
00:27:14.165 --> 00:27:18.136
and that Palmer can add more value than
just being a great high school downtown,

518
00:27:18.336 --> 00:27:22.107
but also be a great community partner so
that we can serve other parts of downtown.

519
00:27:22.674 --> 00:27:24.743
Chris, anything to add?

520
00:27:24.743 --> 00:27:25.110
Great.

521
00:27:25.110 --> 00:27:28.013
Okay. Yes.

522
00:27:28.013 --> 00:27:28.847
Oh. I'm sorry.

523
00:27:28.847 --> 00:27:31.916
So early childhood education. Sorry.

524
00:27:31.916 --> 00:27:35.954
We sometimes talk
or use short names for things.

525
00:27:35.954 --> 00:27:39.057
So we have had discussions
with early connections

526
00:27:39.257 --> 00:27:42.627
and even with the district
about the need for preschool,

527
00:27:43.061 --> 00:27:47.599
both to serve staff and also to, serve
the community.

528
00:27:47.866 --> 00:27:50.869
It's a need across the state,
and it's something that we continue

529
00:27:50.869 --> 00:27:52.203
to explore as an opportunity,

530
00:27:52.203 --> 00:27:56.241
both from a partnership standpoint
and also from the district perspective.

531
00:27:58.109 --> 00:27:59.344
The next thing that we're going to show,

532
00:27:59.344 --> 00:28:02.347
any other questions,
we're going to show you a video.

533
00:28:05.183 --> 00:28:06.885
But we will keep it.

534
00:28:06.885 --> 00:28:08.820
We promise we will keep the angles.

535
00:28:08.820 --> 00:28:11.823
Statue. Yes.

536
00:28:12.824 --> 00:28:15.360
So currently for phase one is on

537
00:28:15.360 --> 00:28:19.564
I mean I know
so we'll see for phases for this process.

538
00:28:20.365 --> 00:28:20.765
Yeah.

539
00:28:20.765 --> 00:28:23.868
But you go through
all of those things are just one.

540
00:28:23.868 --> 00:28:25.070
Right. That phase one.

541
00:28:25.070 --> 00:28:26.104
So the question was is

542
00:28:26.104 --> 00:28:30.075
how much money do we have right now
and how much can we complete right now?

543
00:28:30.275 --> 00:28:34.512
What we're really focus on
is what you can see here, which is the

544
00:28:34.512 --> 00:28:36.581
the discussions
around the closure of Boulder

545
00:28:36.581 --> 00:28:39.584
to improve the safety
and security of a unified campus,

546
00:28:39.651 --> 00:28:43.755
and then really focused on the academics
and the 1939 building.

547
00:28:44.189 --> 00:28:47.058
We are just now to the point
where we're going to start

548
00:28:47.058 --> 00:28:48.660
really engaging with it also.

549
00:28:48.660 --> 00:28:51.663
And Peterson, our
our partner on the construction side,

550
00:28:51.796 --> 00:28:53.998
so we can start to get into
more of that detail

551
00:28:53.998 --> 00:28:57.535
about exactly what we can complete
and exactly what we

552
00:28:57.736 --> 00:29:00.238
we have to defer to a second phase,
but we're going to work

553
00:29:00.238 --> 00:29:02.507
through that process
over the next couple of months.

554
00:29:02.507 --> 00:29:03.641
Yes, ma'am.

555
00:29:03.641 --> 00:29:08.213
In this phase,
all of the program from city building here

556
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:13.518
and the main building, all of those
would be in this new building.

557
00:29:14.018 --> 00:29:15.086
That's correct.

558
00:29:15.086 --> 00:29:18.389
Having started with that,
that great question.

559
00:29:18.389 --> 00:29:21.426
So the the answer was Will,
where all the classrooms be.

560
00:29:25.096 --> 00:29:27.699
Academic wing is we're going to show you
in a video here.

561
00:29:27.699 --> 00:29:30.702
Next is about four is four stories.

562
00:29:30.769 --> 00:29:33.772
So the academic wing would actually be
a four story building

563
00:29:33.872 --> 00:29:35.540
on the east side of the campus. Again,

564
00:29:35.540 --> 00:29:39.978
we're trying to maximize our opportunity
on one site on an urban campus.

565
00:29:40.145 --> 00:29:42.480
Palmer is unique from that perspective.

566
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:45.483
We're going to use that as an opportunity.

567
00:29:45.550 --> 00:29:48.286
There are examples
across the country of high schools

568
00:29:48.286 --> 00:29:51.256
that are vertically stacked
and can work very successfully.

569
00:29:51.456 --> 00:29:54.459
And we're going to show you a concept
around that.

570
00:29:54.826 --> 00:29:56.027
Yes, ma'am. More quickly.

571
00:29:56.027 --> 00:30:00.064
The other proposal is not a building, it's
just a story that you're going to.

572
00:30:01.232 --> 00:30:02.600
Yes, ma'am. That is correct.

573
00:30:02.600 --> 00:30:06.104
The blue bar that's across Boulder
is really talking about phasing of that.

574
00:30:06.104 --> 00:30:07.272
And start really talking

575
00:30:07.272 --> 00:30:11.109
about scope of work as far as building
a building on on Boulder.

576
00:30:11.509 --> 00:30:12.076
Yes, ma'am.

577
00:30:13.444 --> 00:30:13.912
One of the

578
00:30:13.912 --> 00:30:17.148
things that we talked about
is using the field that you had

579
00:30:17.148 --> 00:30:21.553
in one of the former things for band,
this looks like the football field.

580
00:30:21.553 --> 00:30:24.722
So how is that going to be multifunction?

581
00:30:25.123 --> 00:30:27.759
Because it's a must for a high.

582
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:30.528
Schools across the state
may have a practice field

583
00:30:30.528 --> 00:30:33.898
somewhere else on site,
but the most for a high schools

584
00:30:33.898 --> 00:30:38.236
have an an artificial turf field
that allows that field to.

585
00:30:38.503 --> 00:30:39.404
Yes, yes.

586
00:30:39.404 --> 00:30:43.741
Use that field from early in the morning
until later that night

587
00:30:43.741 --> 00:30:48.146
because it's a multi-function field
that can hold up, as opposed to it

588
00:30:48.146 --> 00:30:52.617
being a grass field that requires that, as
you know, from the district perspective,

589
00:30:52.851 --> 00:30:55.854
with Jen and her team,
from a capital improvement standpoint,

590
00:30:56.054 --> 00:31:00.491
they've put in artificial turf fields
at Coronado, Mitchell and Doherty.

591
00:31:00.725 --> 00:31:04.562
And so from an equity standpoint,
Palmer would be on par

592
00:31:04.562 --> 00:31:08.199
with other high schools in the in
the football is practicing.

593
00:31:08.199 --> 00:31:10.768
When does band field there's.

594
00:31:10.768 --> 00:31:12.237
Yeah I mean they work that out.

595
00:31:12.237 --> 00:31:14.906
I'm not going to answer that little detail
in a master plan,

596
00:31:14.906 --> 00:31:16.875
but they they absolutely work that out

597
00:31:16.875 --> 00:31:18.910
at high schools
across the state of Colorado.

598
00:31:18.910 --> 00:31:20.645
So not overly concerned.

599
00:31:20.645 --> 00:31:23.314
But they're we're going to show you
some other options here too.

600
00:31:23.314 --> 00:31:26.084
Would you say the 1939 building area

601
00:31:26.084 --> 00:31:30.255
to mostly a community asset
and as the academics will be in new space?

602
00:31:30.455 --> 00:31:31.155
That's correct.

603
00:31:31.155 --> 00:31:35.393
The the 1939 building
will mainly be a community

604
00:31:36.461 --> 00:31:40.031
asset with administration,

605
00:31:40.265 --> 00:31:43.835
early childhood education, counseling,
library functions

606
00:31:43.835 --> 00:31:47.338
in the heart of the building,
support for performing arts,

607
00:31:47.605 --> 00:31:50.408
and the primary portion
of the academic building.

608
00:31:50.408 --> 00:31:53.144
The four story
portion of the building to the east.

609
00:31:53.144 --> 00:31:54.379
Yes, sir.

610
00:31:54.379 --> 00:31:57.315
That population does this plan.

611
00:31:57.315 --> 00:32:01.920
So the the master plan,
considers a population of about 1500

612
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:03.688
students is a max.

613
00:32:03.688 --> 00:32:08.026
We're just shy of 1200, I believe,
right now at Palmer High School.

614
00:32:08.426 --> 00:32:12.163
Based on the demographic data
that the district has worked on

615
00:32:12.497 --> 00:32:16.067
over the last year
or two, that seems on par with where the

616
00:32:16.067 --> 00:32:19.070
the district is going to go
from a population standpoint.

617
00:32:19.370 --> 00:32:21.239
That's the populations

618
00:32:21.239 --> 00:32:24.676
move out of central friends areas
and younger population for them.

619
00:32:25.243 --> 00:32:27.779
Well, there's no room for expansion
or anything like that.

620
00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:30.682
So I was here since 2000. That's correct.

621
00:32:30.682 --> 00:32:31.215
That's correct.

622
00:32:31.215 --> 00:32:35.486
So I, I more than happy
to have a discussion with you

623
00:32:35.486 --> 00:32:36.888
about birth rates

624
00:32:36.888 --> 00:32:39.824
and what's happened in the history
or what's happening

625
00:32:39.824 --> 00:32:43.661
right now in the United States
as far as lower birth rates and,

626
00:32:43.695 --> 00:32:48.166
a leveling of the population
in Delavan would be great.

627
00:32:49.133 --> 00:32:50.635
Moving forward as a,

628
00:32:50.635 --> 00:32:53.705
as a district,
bringing students back into the community

629
00:32:53.705 --> 00:32:58.705
or back into the schools,
I know is path in the. Yes.

630
00:33:02.180 --> 00:33:06.451
But for me answer
was that with the new building

631
00:33:06.451 --> 00:33:10.321
that takes them to the second field,
how would we then

632
00:33:10.521 --> 00:33:13.758
support other activities
that are not just performing arts?

633
00:33:14.425 --> 00:33:17.428
So we would like to make sure
that there is

634
00:33:17.795 --> 00:33:20.531
just where those opportunities
for those are.

635
00:33:20.531 --> 00:33:22.533
And it's a great segue question.

636
00:33:22.533 --> 00:33:27.405
So where else can we, accommodate other
activities outdoors and athletic fields?

637
00:33:27.805 --> 00:33:30.708
And so we've actually looked
at the Erb's field site

638
00:33:30.708 --> 00:33:33.644
and it it actually will accommodate
a full sized baseball

639
00:33:33.644 --> 00:33:37.348
field, a full size
softball field and six tennis courts.

640
00:33:37.348 --> 00:33:39.217
And it leaves us some additional space.

641
00:33:39.217 --> 00:33:42.220
And so if you've been to Coronado,

642
00:33:42.286 --> 00:33:45.390
for instance, the baseball field is used
for other functions

643
00:33:45.556 --> 00:33:49.360
throughout the course of the year
beyond just baseball.

644
00:33:49.527 --> 00:33:49.994
Right.

645
00:33:49.994 --> 00:33:52.997
And so these fields are big enough

646
00:33:52.997 --> 00:33:56.367
that there are other activities
that can go on on these fields.

647
00:33:58.202 --> 00:34:00.204
I want to I'm going to pause right there.

648
00:34:00.204 --> 00:34:02.106
Last question, ma'am.

649
00:34:02.106 --> 00:34:05.410
You have, for instance,
recently and say, well,

650
00:34:05.443 --> 00:34:08.446
now where is the historical

651
00:34:09.447 --> 00:34:10.515
go ahead, Judy.

652
00:34:10.515 --> 00:34:12.917
Well, it's going to be in the 1939
building, right?

653
00:34:12.917 --> 00:34:16.721
Yes, it's going to be in the 1939
building, probably to the left

654
00:34:16.721 --> 00:34:19.724
as you enter right on the front entry.

655
00:34:20.491 --> 00:34:24.095
I'm going to defer to the president as,
as often as I possibly can

656
00:34:24.095 --> 00:34:27.098
with the alumni association.

657
00:34:29.967 --> 00:34:32.970
But the question was,

658
00:34:33.971 --> 00:34:36.974
The question was where is the alumni

659
00:34:37.909 --> 00:34:40.344
historical room going to be. Thank you.

660
00:34:40.344 --> 00:34:42.113
And Judy, answer the question.

661
00:34:42.113 --> 00:34:45.116
It'll be in the 1939 building. All right.

662
00:34:45.516 --> 00:34:49.153
We've got more work to get to
or we have some work to get to with you.

663
00:34:49.587 --> 00:34:51.956
Connor.
Go ahead. I'll give you the president.

664
00:34:51.956 --> 00:34:53.724
The last student body president.

665
00:34:53.724 --> 00:34:55.460
The last question.

666
00:34:55.460 --> 00:34:56.427
I just had a question.

667
00:34:56.427 --> 00:34:58.963
Especially about,
what's happening with ERPs

668
00:34:58.963 --> 00:35:01.632
because of just how busy
those streets are.

669
00:35:01.632 --> 00:35:06.404
Boulder and Platt, and Boulder
might change given how the project goes,

670
00:35:06.404 --> 00:35:10.775
but I know there could be issues with Casa
and actually being able to use

671
00:35:10.775 --> 00:35:14.879
those fields because of like, the ball
going out into the middle of the road.

672
00:35:15.613 --> 00:35:19.016
Which has been I've heard from,
I don't know, from experience.

673
00:35:19.016 --> 00:35:20.084
So I don't know if that's actually true,

674
00:35:20.084 --> 00:35:23.221
but from, friends
I have on the baseball team,

675
00:35:23.221 --> 00:35:24.722
that's something
they were concerned about.

676
00:35:24.722 --> 00:35:27.825
So I was just that's
why we're not allowed to use that field.

677
00:35:27.925 --> 00:35:28.693
I understood.

678
00:35:28.693 --> 00:35:31.796
So this would be a full size,

679
00:35:31.796 --> 00:35:36.167
full size for a, competition
baseball field

680
00:35:36.167 --> 00:35:39.137
as opposed to what you have right now,
which isn't quite that big.

681
00:35:39.237 --> 00:35:40.338
Now, to your.

682
00:35:40.338 --> 00:35:42.006
We're getting to a level of detail

683
00:35:42.006 --> 00:35:44.442
and a master plan
that I'm a little uncomfortable with.

684
00:35:44.442 --> 00:35:47.645
But the height of the fence
that would have to be along the outfit

685
00:35:47.879 --> 00:35:50.581
field would have to be something
that we would have to coordinate

686
00:35:50.581 --> 00:35:52.150
not only with Casa,

687
00:35:52.150 --> 00:35:55.153
but also with the city in order
to make sure we take care of that.

688
00:35:55.319 --> 00:35:58.322
I don't I'm not going to guarantee you
a green monster, but

689
00:35:58.356 --> 00:36:01.492
there may have to be some offense
that's a little bit taller than normal.

690
00:36:01.726 --> 00:36:02.793
All right, I'm going to move on

691
00:36:02.793 --> 00:36:05.363
because we want to get to the activity
with everyone.

692
00:36:05.363 --> 00:36:07.198
But we want to show you a video. I

693
00:36:08.699 --> 00:36:09.767
where is the gym?

694
00:36:09.767 --> 00:36:14.767
The gym is where is the gym is
actually it is in this athletic complex.

695
00:36:15.006 --> 00:36:17.108
So this is actually a three story.

696
00:36:17.108 --> 00:36:20.111
This is a three story addition
for the athletics.

697
00:36:20.278 --> 00:36:22.346
And the gymnasium is actually in that

698
00:36:22.346 --> 00:36:24.916
it's a good segue
because we're going to show you a video.

699
00:36:24.916 --> 00:36:27.685
I'm going to preface this video briefly.

700
00:36:27.685 --> 00:36:31.956
So Mike and Gabby and the team, Spencer,
who's here from our team,

701
00:36:32.256 --> 00:36:36.827
we've taken the master
planning programing diagram.

702
00:36:37.161 --> 00:36:40.932
So when you see this video, it's
going to be individual program

703
00:36:40.932 --> 00:36:43.935
pieces of the building.

704
00:36:46.437 --> 00:36:49.507
Drone video that shows how the building
would mass on the site.

705
00:36:49.507 --> 00:36:51.842
And in other words,
how big the building would be.

706
00:36:51.842 --> 00:36:54.779
We leave it that way intentionally
because we don't.

707
00:36:54.779 --> 00:36:55.913
We're not going.

708
00:36:55.913 --> 00:36:59.584
The building is not going to look like
a bunch of Tetris blocks that are stacked,

709
00:36:59.850 --> 00:37:04.388
but it does give you an idea of
the program that's required for the Palmer

710
00:37:04.622 --> 00:37:05.556
High School.

711
00:37:05.556 --> 00:37:08.626
It gives you a sense of the scale
that's needed on the site in order

712
00:37:08.626 --> 00:37:12.597
to accommodate the Palmer program
and the students on this site,

713
00:37:12.863 --> 00:37:15.099
and it gives you a sense
of the scale of the building.

714
00:37:15.099 --> 00:37:17.235
And so we want to play that video for you,

715
00:37:17.235 --> 00:37:19.937
and then we're going to break you down
into teams, and we're going to have you

716
00:37:19.937 --> 00:37:21.072
answer three questions.

717
00:37:23.307 --> 00:37:26.310
So this
video is going to play a little bit slow.

718
00:37:26.310 --> 00:37:29.914
Just to give you some time,
so that you can see it

719
00:37:31.816 --> 00:37:33.684
one more time.

720
00:37:33.684 --> 00:37:34.485
Okay.

721
00:37:34.485 --> 00:37:37.455
So on the left.

722
00:37:39.490 --> 00:37:42.493
So I need to.

723
00:37:43.861 --> 00:37:44.629
Get it going.

724
00:37:44.629 --> 00:37:46.497
Okay.

725
00:37:46.497 --> 00:37:48.399
Sure.

726
00:37:48.399 --> 00:37:50.534
No, no, no, I'm not positive.

727
00:37:50.534 --> 00:37:54.272
But we've had one problem with technology
and one of these meetings at the first,

728
00:37:54.272 --> 00:37:55.940
and we stayed away from it since that.

729
00:37:55.940 --> 00:37:58.943
And they've both been.

730
00:38:05.716 --> 00:38:08.719
Out of my mind.

731
00:38:11.889 --> 00:38:14.892
And I that this is.

732
00:38:18.195 --> 00:38:19.864
So just a little bit of commentary.

733
00:38:19.864 --> 00:38:22.566
So you're looking at it to the northeast.

734
00:38:22.566 --> 00:38:25.503
You see the 1939 building in the corner
here.

735
00:38:25.503 --> 00:38:26.937
It's a lighter color.

736
00:38:26.937 --> 00:38:28.973
And then you're seeing
some of the program area.

737
00:38:28.973 --> 00:38:31.942
I'm not going to narrate the whole thing
because there is some text on this

738
00:38:31.942 --> 00:38:35.546
that will show up, and it'll talk about
the different components of the building,

739
00:38:36.247 --> 00:38:39.250
but you can start to see
because of the white.

740
00:38:39.517 --> 00:38:40.251
That's correct.

741
00:38:41.752 --> 00:38:42.887
So this

742
00:38:42.887 --> 00:38:46.390
is 1939 building renovation
of the existing building.

743
00:38:46.724 --> 00:38:50.161
Heart of the school is what we talked
about, Gabby talked about earlier on

744
00:38:50.161 --> 00:38:53.230
which is in addition
to the north of the 1939 building.

745
00:38:53.631 --> 00:38:56.133
We located the bell for you, Judy.

746
00:38:56.133 --> 00:38:58.169
So we make sure that we show the bell.

747
00:38:58.169 --> 00:39:03.074
At this point, you can see
the athletic edition on the the northeast

748
00:39:03.074 --> 00:39:07.078
part of the site, which is a three story,
which is a three story volume.

749
00:39:07.845 --> 00:39:09.814
It would have bleachers built into it.

750
00:39:09.814 --> 00:39:12.950
The gymnasium is actually shown
on the third level

751
00:39:13.417 --> 00:39:15.553
of this building at this point.

752
00:39:15.553 --> 00:39:20.024
The pool is a pool is being considered
on the north end of the property.

753
00:39:20.624 --> 00:39:25.129
We have some support space
for athletics and, on the site.

754
00:39:28.499 --> 00:39:30.568
She's.

755
00:39:30.568 --> 00:39:32.570
So this is looking west, of course.

756
00:39:32.570 --> 00:39:34.238
And you can see the 1930.

757
00:39:34.238 --> 00:39:38.609
You can see the, the Athletic building
on the right, the academic building.

758
00:39:38.609 --> 00:39:40.277
What you're really seeing from

759
00:39:40.277 --> 00:39:44.048
Gabby and Mike in the team
is the stacking of the academic programs.

760
00:39:44.048 --> 00:39:47.852
So the classrooms, the science
rooms, the support spaces,

761
00:39:47.852 --> 00:39:50.187
the teacher collaboration spaces,

762
00:39:50.187 --> 00:39:55.059
science rooms that you're seeing
to stack up on this site as Gabby and Mike

763
00:39:55.059 --> 00:39:57.027
and the team work through actually

764
00:39:57.027 --> 00:40:00.030
massing the building and making sure
the program fits on the building.

765
00:40:00.297 --> 00:40:04.168
What you see on the on the,
southeast corner of the site is really

766
00:40:04.368 --> 00:40:05.569
the performing arts.

767
00:40:05.569 --> 00:40:10.569
So orchestra, band, choir, support space
for all of those activities

768
00:40:11.575 --> 00:40:15.312
behind the auditorium,
existing auditorium, stagecraft,

769
00:40:15.646 --> 00:40:18.649
all of those spaces that we've
sort of talked about with the department

770
00:40:18.983 --> 00:40:22.386
in order to support,
a performing arts center

771
00:40:22.753 --> 00:40:25.456
or a performing arts
program on the Palmer campus.

772
00:40:27.558 --> 00:40:28.325
But it gives you a start

773
00:40:28.325 --> 00:40:30.694
to give you a sense
of the scale of the building,

774
00:40:30.694 --> 00:40:34.465
and the scale of the master plan
and the importance

775
00:40:34.465 --> 00:40:38.302
of closing Boulder Street in order
to accomplish this master plan solution.

776
00:40:39.069 --> 00:40:41.806
Where's the visual arts?

777
00:40:41.806 --> 00:40:42.606
Visual arts?

778
00:40:42.606 --> 00:40:44.708
As we work through this process

779
00:40:44.708 --> 00:40:47.711
in Gabby and Mike and Omar
and the team have worked through that.

780
00:40:47.878 --> 00:40:51.382
We've actually talked about,
visual arts in several locations,

781
00:40:51.482 --> 00:40:55.419
but one of the most exciting spaces
that we're sort of looking at

782
00:40:55.419 --> 00:40:57.254
is actually the fourth level.

783
00:40:57.254 --> 00:41:00.458
One of the things that we've talked about
is bringing back the terrace,

784
00:41:00.758 --> 00:41:04.829
that was original to the building
on the west side of the building

785
00:41:04.829 --> 00:41:09.366
and using that for visual arts
and using the terrace for the visual arts.

786
00:41:09.366 --> 00:41:10.134
That's on the roof.

787
00:41:12.203 --> 00:41:13.604
Great.

788
00:41:13.604 --> 00:41:15.573
Yes, ma'am. I'm just a little curious.

789
00:41:15.573 --> 00:41:20.573
I don't know if I'm misunderstanding
partnership. The.

790
00:41:48.739 --> 00:41:50.274
Some of those things will have to occur.

791
00:41:50.274 --> 00:41:53.110
Some of those people
we could potentially be.

792
00:41:53.110 --> 00:41:56.213
Would be like, just like teaching staff
in the Palmer Building.

793
00:41:56.213 --> 00:41:59.216
And so they would already
have be credentialed and have an ID

794
00:41:59.550 --> 00:42:02.553
so they could enter the building
as they need.

795
00:42:17.601 --> 00:42:20.604
It after

796
00:42:20.771 --> 00:42:22.940
this athletic commission,
I'm understanding

797
00:42:22.940 --> 00:42:25.943
it would be a shared space.

798
00:42:37.655 --> 00:42:39.890
It would be worked out by the team

799
00:42:39.890 --> 00:42:43.961
that was on site and collaboration
between those partners.

800
00:42:44.061 --> 00:42:44.962
So if there's P.E.

801
00:42:44.962 --> 00:42:49.767
class going on, then there's probably not,
peewee ball going on at the same time.

802
00:42:49.967 --> 00:42:53.037
And so it would be really about scheduling
and, and the team

803
00:42:53.037 --> 00:42:56.206
that's on site really collaborating on
how to use those facilities.

804
00:42:56.206 --> 00:43:00.144
Most effectively to ensure
that the students and the staff are safe,

805
00:43:00.411 --> 00:43:03.647
but also to provide opportunities
for community partners.

806
00:43:03.981 --> 00:43:05.115
Yes, ma'am.

807
00:43:05.115 --> 00:43:07.518
This is a very exciting concept.

808
00:43:07.518 --> 00:43:10.521
I'm just really excited about it
for our downtown.

809
00:43:11.155 --> 00:43:13.090
But of course, I think about money.

810
00:43:13.090 --> 00:43:14.625
We have 100 million.

811
00:43:14.625 --> 00:43:15.960
I know several million.

812
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:18.195
It's already been given to the architects.

813
00:43:18.195 --> 00:43:20.097
I assume that came out of the 100.

814
00:43:20.097 --> 00:43:21.832
Whatever you're getting correct.

815
00:43:21.832 --> 00:43:24.835
Are you holding any money back
for contingency?

816
00:43:24.835 --> 00:43:25.636
Absolutely.

817
00:43:25.636 --> 00:43:27.738
Can you tell us how much that is?

818
00:43:27.738 --> 00:43:31.175
And then what is actually left over
for Palmer

819
00:43:31.175 --> 00:43:34.178
renovation,
and how much, in your humble opinion,

820
00:43:34.445 --> 00:43:38.048
can you really do with the money
that is leftover?

821
00:43:38.148 --> 00:43:41.986
As we showed you in the concepts,
we're really we're focused

822
00:43:41.986 --> 00:43:45.356
on the first phase of $85 million,
which is really the the,

823
00:43:45.356 --> 00:43:49.026
the historic portion of the building
in the academic portion of the buildings.

824
00:43:49.026 --> 00:43:52.029
It's still too early in the process,
from a master planning standpoint,

825
00:43:52.062 --> 00:43:54.765
for us to have all the answers
from a pricing standpoint,

826
00:43:54.765 --> 00:43:58.168
we're going to be working through
that process over the next 30 to 60 days.

827
00:43:58.569 --> 00:44:02.373
This is a this is a much larger project,

828
00:44:02.740 --> 00:44:06.377
that requires community partnerships
in order to accomplish it.

829
00:44:06.710 --> 00:44:10.614
We've, really through the collaboration
with the district

830
00:44:10.781 --> 00:44:11.982
and with community partners.

831
00:44:15.586 --> 00:44:16.320
Ulmer.

832
00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:19.657
There are going to be ongoing
conversations, both internal

833
00:44:19.657 --> 00:44:22.960
with the district and external
to the partners in order for us

834
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:26.764
to continue to explore opportunities
so that we can fund this project.

835
00:44:27.064 --> 00:44:30.434
So basically we're starting off
with 85 million, correct?

836
00:44:30.801 --> 00:44:31.602
Okay.

837
00:44:31.602 --> 00:44:34.038
It's a very exciting project.

838
00:44:34.038 --> 00:44:36.340
Yes. So there are houses

839
00:44:36.340 --> 00:44:39.443
on the north side of the,
tennis court parking lots.

840
00:44:39.710 --> 00:44:41.912
Correct. Would we just be backing up
straight to those?

841
00:44:41.912 --> 00:44:43.947
Are would that be an issue
for those individuals?

842
00:44:43.947 --> 00:44:45.315
Yeah. It's.

843
00:44:45.315 --> 00:44:45.549
Yeah.

844
00:44:45.549 --> 00:44:48.318
So those are all private properties
on the north side of the site.

845
00:44:48.318 --> 00:44:51.321
And those are private landowners.

846
00:44:51.555 --> 00:44:53.323
And so we,

847
00:44:53.323 --> 00:44:57.027
we are not using any of that property,
of course, because as a private property.

848
00:44:57.261 --> 00:45:00.631
And so we're really accomplishing this
on the district's property right now.

849
00:45:01.932 --> 00:45:02.733
Last question.

850
00:45:02.733 --> 00:45:05.769
And I promise we have to get to our group
activity.

851
00:45:09.540 --> 00:45:10.908
That's right.

852
00:45:10.908 --> 00:45:14.411
So is there a plan B for parking
if we're not doing underground parking?

853
00:45:14.411 --> 00:45:17.314
Because I think that it sounds like,

854
00:45:17.314 --> 00:45:20.851
Gabby Gabby pointed out
that we had two existing properties

855
00:45:20.851 --> 00:45:22.953
that are to the West
that are small, right?

856
00:45:22.953 --> 00:45:27.157
If if those are the two small properties
that we have, we use Cheyenne already.

857
00:45:27.825 --> 00:45:30.894
We're going to have to continue
to explore to the east.

858
00:45:30.894 --> 00:45:31.361
Excuse me.

859
00:45:31.361 --> 00:45:32.196
You're right ma'am.

860
00:45:32.196 --> 00:45:34.531
To the east,
we have those two properties.

861
00:45:34.531 --> 00:45:35.766
We have Cheyenne.

862
00:45:35.766 --> 00:45:38.702
If, as we continue
to evolve the master plan and continue

863
00:45:38.702 --> 00:45:42.539
these discussions around parking,
then we may have to have an alternative.

864
00:45:42.806 --> 00:45:46.276
There's been discussions
over the course of time about shared

865
00:45:46.276 --> 00:45:51.276
parking resources with on the existing
YMCA site, First Presbyterian.

866
00:45:51.715 --> 00:45:55.652
There's been other things
we've we're we continue to explore options

867
00:45:55.652 --> 00:45:58.756
at this point at a master planning level,
we don't have all the answers.

868
00:45:59.022 --> 00:46:02.126
We continue to explore opportunities
as we move forward as a group.

869
00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:03.527
That seems like a big

870
00:46:04.795 --> 00:46:06.230
yeah,

871
00:46:06.230 --> 00:46:09.233
I know it all kind of seems big,
doesn't it?

872
00:47:37.754 --> 00:47:38.121
Plan.

873
00:47:38.121 --> 00:47:42.025
But these are conversations that will very
likely be having in phase one.

874
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:46.129
The second part I want to call out into
that as well is the reopening of that,

875
00:47:46.230 --> 00:47:49.233
balcony space specifically for art.

876
00:47:51.168 --> 00:47:52.269
The heart of the school.

877
00:47:52.269 --> 00:47:55.272
So we we've talked
and talked about the centerpiece, and I'm

878
00:47:55.272 --> 00:47:58.275
sorry if you can't see it,
if you want to see it, please come closer.

879
00:47:59.076 --> 00:48:01.912
What is really happening
here is a dynamic, engaging,

880
00:48:01.912 --> 00:48:04.348
multi-level story space.

881
00:48:04.348 --> 00:48:06.483
So you're seeing students essentially

882
00:48:06.483 --> 00:48:10.687
from the 1939 building
covering all the way to this new addition.

883
00:48:10.687 --> 00:48:15.492
This would truly be where modern
and history meet as one single place.

884
00:48:16.026 --> 00:48:17.995
Very exciting on our end as architects.

885
00:48:17.995 --> 00:48:21.498
If we were going back and forth on this
saying this could be a

886
00:48:21.798 --> 00:48:25.535
the most dynamic space
we have ever had the chance to work on.

887
00:48:26.536 --> 00:48:29.539
And then we talk about the well,
Miss Judy, that one did.

888
00:48:29.606 --> 00:48:32.209
It really made an impression on us
after the steering committee meeting,

889
00:48:32.209 --> 00:48:34.144
and we wanted to have
this sketch in here as well,

890
00:48:34.144 --> 00:48:35.445
which is in the heart of the school.

891
00:48:35.445 --> 00:48:40.083
So if you were looking in that past view,
we were looking up towards

892
00:48:40.083 --> 00:48:43.086
that facility.

893
00:48:44.621 --> 00:48:47.891
The bell
and essentially this, this glazed pieces.

894
00:48:47.891 --> 00:48:51.495
And what's really shown here is
you have learning happening all around

895
00:48:51.495 --> 00:48:55.065
you and you're getting the integration
of athletic, of alumni,

896
00:48:55.065 --> 00:48:58.368
of community partnerships,
and then of course, of academics.

897
00:48:59.303 --> 00:49:00.671
Okay.

898
00:49:00.671 --> 00:49:03.774
So Doug talked about
we did feedback and questions.

899
00:49:04.741 --> 00:49:07.077
And we're going to go ahead
and go into this next piece.

900
00:49:07.077 --> 00:49:07.744
And so you get a

901
00:49:07.744 --> 00:49:11.448
you'll get the site plan nice and close
for you to be able to look at.

902
00:49:11.748 --> 00:49:15.152
And there are going to be three questions
that we are going to talk about

903
00:49:15.152 --> 00:49:15.619
as a group.

904
00:49:15.619 --> 00:49:18.488
If you are not currently at a table,
I'd encourage you come to these.

905
00:49:18.488 --> 00:49:20.958
We've got open spots here in the front.

906
00:49:20.958 --> 00:49:23.660
We want to make sure to gather
all of your feedback together.

907
00:49:23.660 --> 00:49:26.330
The questions are also
on the sheets themselves.

908
00:49:26.330 --> 00:49:31.330
