Twelve members of Fernway's staff and faculty, along with several parent and community members, met with Van Auken Akins Architects and Gilbane Construction on September 28, to review and provide input and feedback on potential site plan and floor plan options for the renovated Fernway Elementary School.
Topics of discussion included layout and design options for the parking lot and play lot areas and upgraded security and accessibility measures. In addition, the group reviewed possible configurations for grade level classrooms and for single subject area spaces such as library, art, PE and music classrooms. The group also provided input on student support service spaces and custodial support spaces. Finally, the group reviewed plans for a possible addition to the Fernway space, which may include multi-purpose space, cafeteria space and/or expanded PE space.
Shaker Heights Schools was very appreciative of all of the stakeholder input and expertise in education, school plant, historical context or neighborhood survey information.
The Board of Education is scheduled to hold a follow-up work session on the Fernway project on October 4, 6 p.m.-8 p.m. at the High School Upper Cafeteria.
