Virtual Building Tours
Take a virtual tour of each school to see renovation and maintenance items identified in the Facilities Master Plan.
Underutilized space
The auditorium is utilized only about once a month for an event or presentation. The plan calls for remodeling it to multipurpose by making the space more flexible.
Auditorium
The auditorium takes on water during significant heavy rains due to foundation leaks and poor drainage around the exterior of the building.
Auditorium stage
The plan calls for updating the stage lighting, sound and electrical systems.
No bathrooms
The lower level also includes art and music classrooms for all students and music lesson rooms. The auditorium renovation would include adding bathrooms on this level.
Water leaks evident
Ceiling tiles in the basement hallway show evidence of a recent bathroom leak on floor above.
Original bathrooms
This three-stall bathroom serves two grades of female students. The original fixtures and plumbing often require repair.
Another view of the girls' bathroom with original fixtures. Classroom additions were built in 1951 and 1961. All of the bathrooms in the two classroom wings do not meet ADA requirements.
Former STEM lab
The former STEM lab includes storage for curriculum materials, safer table surfaces and sinks. The lab is now used as a special education resource room due to lack of space. The STEM activities now take place in the classroom. This limits the types of experiments and activities that can be completed.
Kitchen
The kitchen is not functional for serving lunch to students in the multipurpose room.
Multipurpose Room
Lunch is served in the multipurpose room. A student services para pro keeps a desk in the corner because there is no office space available. The facilities plan calls for remodeling and enlarging the cafeteria space into the courtyard to maximize space for other uses and to expand the kitchen.
Boiler Room
The boilers are 20 years old and need replacement in the next 10 years. HVAC throughout the two older classroom wings have obsolete equipment with banned refrigerant and irreplaceable parts.
This is a bathroom attached to a kindergarten room. Lack of privacy limits use to one student at a time. As it has original fixtures and plumbing, there are frequent plumbing issues.
The sink in the kindergarten bathroom does not meet ADA requirements. Lack of classroom storage also results in some items being stored in the washroom.
Kindergarten low ceiling
Part of the original wing, the low ceiling in this kindergarten room would be replaced.
Kindergarten hallway
Part of the older wing, this kindergarten hallway does not have spaces for one-on-one testing or student support services.
Lower level hallway
This is a second addition built to Greenbriar in 1961 and also suffers from moisture issues, leaky bathroom fixtures and lack of ventilation. All of the carpeting is outdated and needs to be replaced. Lockers should be replaced with new lockers or cubbies.
Exterior Repairs
The Facilities Master Plan identified exterior needs around both older wings of the school, including tuckpointing and joint reinforcement.
Exterior work
Mortar is deteriorating around windowsills and fascia panels are deteriorating and need to be replaced.
