SCHOOL PLANS RELEASED The new elementary school to be located in south Kearney will be a 59,546-square-foot building featuring three separate wings for kindergarten, first through third grades, and fourth and fifth grades. Each of the three wings includes space for special education, small-group workrooms, and shared common space. The school design also includes a media center, two computer labs, a multipurpose room and a commons area. The exterior of the school will be red brick similar to that used at Yanney Heritage Park to create a unified look in that area of town. Colored glazed brick will be used in the entryways in graduating tones on a curved wall. Pre-cast panels will be used for faster construction. At Meadowlark, the construction will include a 15,000-square-foot addition on the northeast side of the school which will include six classrooms, an art room, a music room, two computer labs and a life skills classroom. The construction will also include a 1,000-square-foot classroom addition on the north side of the school. The existing music and art room will become part of an enlarged cafeteria. On the north side of Meadowlark, a new parking lot and drop-off/pickup point will be constructed on the north side of the school. The current drop-off/pickup point will continue to be used. |
