Architect Greg Gowey from SGGM gave an update to the Board of Education on the plans for Thomas Jefferson and Ridgewood Schools. He presented a site plan and floor plan for the Thomas Jefferson renovation and addition. The addition will include a new media center and office space, of which will also be reconfigured to allow secure entry. The remodeling will be done to reconfigure the cafeteria and other classroom space. The cost for the project came in at $1,463,974,000.
The Ridgewood addition will encompass the front (north) of the building and create an interior courtyard/corridor space where there is currently a recessed area at the entrance. Moving the new entrance out will create improved accessibility to the parking lot, better security and enhance the aesthetic appearance. The media center will be located off of the front entrance. The reconfiguration of classrooms and the addition will create 6 classroom spaces. Relocating the teacher lounge and work area will allow more space for the separate cafeteria. The cost projection for the Ridgewood project came in at $2,484,504,000.
