THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING The Board of Education, Mr. Koontz, the faculty, and the architect spent many hours planning, sketching, revising, and considering the financial problems related to the new Oakwood Township High School that will be under construction early this summer. The new building will replace a structure heavily damaged by an explosion last August Damage was so extensive that it was decided, when voters approved a $400,000 bond issue for rebuilding, to raze the old building. Funds from sale of the bonds and about $85,000 in insurance on the old school will finance the program. Plans prepared by Jack Blackman, Danville architect, call for use of three other existing buildings, which will be connected with the new unit by enclosed passages. They are a gymnasium built in 1935, the agricultural and industrial arts building erected in 1954 and the boiler room which was part of the original school structure. Features of the schools as it will be developed through the integration of present and new facilities will include: Ten academic classrooms, including a commercial department, in two wings; two science laboratories, 12 corridors with translucent plastic skydomes for lighting, 350 lockers built into the academic areas, library, conference rooms, cafeteria-study-hall-communitv room with a stage and storage space. Kitchen with two cafeteria serving lines, administrative area, faculty rooms, health rooms, a new gymnasium lobby, new locker room for girls, new band and chorus rooms. The boys' locker room in the gym building and the home economics department will be renovated. An acoustical ceiling will be installed in the gym, and portable bleachers seating 800 will be added. The gym floor will be widened. Masonry walls, face brick, haydite block and stone trim will be used, and the roof will be of rigid steel frame construction. Terrazo and asphalt tile floors will be laid on concrete, and window frames will be of steel.
