    What Will the New 5th Avenue Academy Look Like?

    Decatur Metro | May 12, 2010

    Like this apparently.  From last night’s city Planning Commission meeting docs…

    Click to enlarge or click over to the PDF to check out the latest site and floor plans.

    The DNO e-pub reports that the plans received approval from the planning commission last night.

      More happy news so no comments? BTW, are those round things on the stone facades of the building windows? Decorative wreaths? Heraldic shields?

      Crickets.

        I didn’t punctuate my question correctly. I meant: “What are those round things on the stone facades…..windows? Wreaths? Heraldry?”

        Did not know that a cricket can mean “(on a sloping roof) a small roof for diverting rain water around an obstruction, as a chimney.” But I wasn’t asking about those awning looking things over the windows. I just didn’t punctuate my question correctly.

          “Crickets” just indicates that there is silence on an issue. Or a joke.

          Oh. (foolish silence)

          ….but I still don’t know what those circle things that look like wreaths are. Are they something structural or something decorative or just a little bit of artistic license in the sketches.

            my guess for the “wreath”– fancy school seal with latin motto.

      Somebody please tell me we’re still on target for opening for the 2011-2012 school year.

        The DNO link states at the meeting, the school is on track to open August 2011.

        The Central Office is pretty insistent that they are indeed able to hit the target opening date. I do hope construction goes smoothly. We want it done: right, inexpensively, and fast. In practice, you can usually only get two.

        With the other major additions in the last five years, e.g. to Clairemont and Winnona Park, they were remarkably fast and on-time. I was surprised because home renovations don’t go like that. I guess a big job like a whole school gets a priority by a construction company that mere home renovation does not.
