Decatur High School Renovation Would Remove Distinctive “Spaceship” from Entrance

Decatur Metro | January 14, 2013

UPDATE: Here’s the link courtesy of GBK Gwyneth!

Diane sends along this blurb, which doesn’t seem to be online, from the Saturday AJC…

Decatur school board chairman Marc Wisniewski said the board reviewed plans for additional classrooms at Renfroe Middle and Decatur High during a recent work session, adding that “everything is conceptual at this point.” The Decatur High plans call for a classroom building in front, thus removing the distinctive circular library, often called “the spaceship.” An enlarged cafeteria and new gym would be built in back, with construction coming in phases through 2018. Plans will be presented on Feb. 5.
