1. The existing Multipurpose Room in the Parish Center will
be removed to accommodate the new addition while minimizing the impact on
the parking by shifting the building west so that less parking lot is
affected.
2. A new stand-alone meeting room is included in the plan in
order to accommodate small group meeting space. This new meeting room has
more square footage than the current Multipurpose Room, but will be smaller
than one of the subdivided sections of the new Social Hall, meeting the
needs of many smaller ministry groups.
3. A separate Nursery/Brides’ Room will be closer to the
church with the main entrances into our facility to better serve the needs
of our young families.
4. The Sacristy for priests will be moved closer to the
Church.
5. The new Social Hall can be divided into smaller rooms
when necessary, and both sides of the hall can be served by a central
Kitchen.
6. The three Kindergarten Classrooms have hallway access to
the playground, as well as, to the rest of the school building.
7. All the spaces included on this floor plan are larger
than our existing spaces, i.e.: the new Social Hall’s square footage is
larger than our current Social Hall. We gain space, accessibility and
efficiency!
8. The elevator will be located in the junior high wing of
the School, making all levels of the entire facility handicap accessible.
9. The two Preschool Classrooms will be located in the
“back” section of what is now the west side of the Social Hall, with a
separate entrance off of Seminole Avenue.
10. The School lunchroom area grows by a few feet in order
to better accommodate all of the students during three lunch periods.
