IN THE HALLWAY

Many halls are much too small to fit many people through.

Students can only move in very small units through these small spaces.

Halls are being used as an alternative for lack of storage.

The latest???? In boilers??

1939 pipes in the storage room under the principal’s office

State of the art phone system?

Custodian’s Cage Area StorageWiring All mixed Together -- Internet, Computer Network Cables, Electrical mixed with Steam Pipes!

Safe? Janitor’s Closet Ground Floor

Electrical Service – Screw In fuses--Outdated???????

• And this is the world we are educating the FHS students for the future!

• Let’s see if our 1941 facility match these demands.

FHS

• Currently

• 130,000 square feet with 3 additions

Water Breaks

• 2002 on ground floor

• 2003 in the gym area.

Air Quality

• Air exchanges?

• Ventilation?

• UTILITY COSTS????

Structurally – FHS is one of the best buildings in the district ---

It was state of the art in 1939 –

Probably ahead of its time in many aspects –

BUT -- it is a 69 year old building!! -- read on

• BUT - - - -

• Wiring and plumbing are outdated

• Classroom sizes are small

• Hallways are narrow

• Security is an issue

• Air Quality is a concern

The Roof

• Much of the original 1941 roof

• The electrical demands of our school are maximizing the potential we have.

• FHS is maxed out in electrical

• To maximize technology, we are concerned about our electrical capabilities.

Concrete filled in when the boilers were installed -- concern for leakage--see

water stains along the wall.

Do we need a dehumidifier???

Keep these pictures in mind as you tour the FHS facility!

Pictures are the “second best” way of showing you how our school looks filled with students and staff.
