School Bulletin 1-27-30 FOLWELL WING READY MONDAY New Addition Has New Type Music Rooms, Workrooms for Social Studies, Bike Parking Rooms Folwell junior high school’s $175,000 addition is expected to be ready for occupancy with the start of the new semester next Monday, E. H. Enger, Board of Education architectural engineer, reported this week. Meanwhile, the Folwell Parent-Teacher association- and the school are proceeding jointly with plans for a celebration February 18 of the completion of the now wing, which will make Folwell a Minneapolis standard junior high school plant. There will be a dinner, auditorium program and open house. Has Unusual Features “In plan and use of materials, the building has several features which are ••ather unusual,” Mr. Enger said. For instance, the two band and orchestra rooms in the basement have been provided with circular amphitheater seat platforms. The rooms will accommodate from 80 to 90 pupils each. Accoustical requirements determined the selection of materials for floors and ceilings. Each of the practice rooms has four individual practice rooms. Another unusual feature from an educational standpoint is the provision of a rather large joint workroom between two classrooms on each of the three floors. These rooms will be used for history, community life problem and geography classes. The workrooms are provided with filing cabinets and tables. There also will be other class rooms in the new wing.” No Federal Aid The addition is being built with Board of Education municipal bond funds, under contract, and without WPA or PWA aid. Work was started in July and all construction is practically concluded now. Installation of furniture started Monday. All the latest ideas have been incorporated into the new em library at Folwell Junior high school. Pupils will be able to work with a minimum of distraction from noise, for the ceiling, floors and walls are sound-proof. This is a firanch of the Public library. The new wing opens for occupancy tyonday. OPEN HOUSE To help celebrate the dedication of the new wing, the parents are invited to attend the open house at Folwell on February 18.
