Twenty-five teachers, staff members, and residents attended the meeting to learn of the progress made on the new consolidated elementary/junior high school on Thursday, Nov. 4. Architect Paul Lunsford of Lunsford Baysinger Architects, Inc. of Marion displayed three drawings so the group could better visualize the site and floor plan. “All we’ve done is taken some programming surveys from the staff and administration and created a floor plan,” Lunsford said. The goal is to describe the spaces from the survey documents received. Now the building will be designed based upon conversations and shared comments. The purpose of these meetings is to make any corrections on the drawings.
