North Scott High School - Silver Shield Yearbook (Eldridge, IA)

uilding additions change the North Scott skyline in most years, but the two buildings this year brought among other things a sixty-tive foot tower to change the school's profile, For a cost of over 2,300,000 dollars, North Scott began adding on the 22,500 square feet last year with the start of the special education wing. Completed during the summer, the wing is considered one of the best such facilities in the area. The six classrooms and three offices re- place the trailers that were used at the end of A- hall. The new wing now serves the six special ed. programs, including the self-contained unit which is known for its modern conveniences. While the windows in two rooms and the senior bench had to be removed to accomodate the wing, more changes took place for the audito- rium addition. Seven rooms in A-hall had to lose their walls of windows and their radiators, which meant for some cold classrooms in that hall. A bank of lockers and the workshop room were both removed to make way for a hall. The 800 seat auditorium will be divided into five main sections: a main floor with 600 seats, and four pods behind it with 50 seats each. The pods will be sealed off during the day so that they can be used as classrooms during school, Watking in the main entrance, spectators will walk on to the first floor lobby with offices, a ticketbooth, a concession room, and two coa- trooms, They can enter the main room from the first floor ramp or, after climbing a flight of stairs, from the back of the pods. Several other features make the auditorium unique, Seperate booths, one for sound and one for lighting will be placed in the back of the room. An extensive catwalk will atiow students to ad- just lights. Another interesting feature of the stage will be a walk-way which will curve around the orchestra pit and allow performers to walk out into the audience, The tlyway, the highest part of the auditorium, will allow the scenery to be pulted up, out of view ot the audience, but it is also a new shape on the outline of the school building. Surrounded by the effects of construction, Greg Casel, Dean Wiese, and Todd Case! walk throught the area to get to school, 1 'r v as Now a wall and foundation, the back of the auditorium wiill eventually become pods that will be used as classrooms. 0 , if f il If , ' i Mm 3 3 i ii-li ig g ' S- - '....
