Minor changes were made to the original commons area. Not much has been made to the existing structural columns though the roof was raised an additional 15 feet to house an expanded mechanical system and bring natural light into the area. High table nooks can be seen for both students and teacher’s use. A new secure entrance adjacent to the school’s administrative offices has also been created for this project.
