OPTION 2 OPTION 1 3

Proposed – Option 1 Pros: • Enhanced classroom for teaching and performances – preferred by school staff • Improved visibility from street, access from parking, entry, circulation, and campus security • Explores use of adjacent classroom for Flex lab or stagecraft workshop • New exterior canopy construction not connected to existing building (limiting DSA restrictions) Cons: • Estimated conceptual budget project 4 cost of $4.3 million (2019 $)

Option 2 OPTION 2 Pros: • Less costly than Option 1 and estimated budget project cost of $3.4 million (2019 $) Cons: • Not preferred by school staff • Displaces centralized group activities and book storage • No separation from school for after hours events and difficult to supervise • Centrally located on campus and OPTION 1 not visible from street 5 • Far from parking

Next Steps • Discuss pros and cons of each option • Consider potential funding source • Advise staff preferred design option and funding • Approach DSA with preferred option and collaborate toward an agreed upon approach to obtain approval 6
