Planners Ask New
Building For Lawhead
Expansion of iha Lawhe*ad
school to the oast is the cheapest
step the Champaign community
unit school district can take, ac
cording to an analysis of |x»ten
tial building sites made for the
school hoard by the Com inanity
Plan office.
Champaign school director* a»e
thedulcd t* tak* up this problem
at a meeting at H p in. today In an
effort to solve a pressing problem
brought on by overcrowding of
the schmil.
Whether to spend MMf already i
voted for on an addition to the;
old building or to break out in a
fresh direction with an eye to the
eventual development of this
whole neighborhood in a neigh
borhood plan confront* the direc
tors.
Community planner* have given ;
close study to the l-awhead situa
tion realizing that the imminent j
need may force a solution which
will affect the entire neighbor- j
hood for decade*.
The study they have made. J
which has the indorsement of the
citizens’ ndviaory committees ;
which have been closely following
the evolution of the master plan,
indicate* that what may appear
to bo the easiest solution now
actually would prove expensive
and merely complicate the picture.
They reason this way:
Huilding a one-story addition
to the present building will fur- j
ther "freeze” the problem in that
area. After the money once is
spent on an addition it will be
more difficult to break away from
the old building built in 1907.
An addition to the school build
ing merely would extend its pres
ent facilities. The otVL-of-date
building probably would constrain
; the architect to carry on many of
the old fashion school building
principles in the design of the ad
: dition.
A new structure could inenr
i fwrate the latest school designs
; and take advantage of the most
| modern techniques in classroom
j layout.
A new school site would permit
I the use oc a new' school ground,
affording badly-needed additional
i play area. (The present .25 acres,
area is 50 per cent under ac
cepted standards.)
One of the most important
reasons, from a financial stand*
| pint, the planning office has
I pointed out, is that the acquisition
j of ground to the east towards the
; Douglas community center would
hean buying up the least valubte
property in the area.

The acquisition of ground to the

property valued at $*5,105, ami an
other alternative solution which is
considered least feasible of all
would mean buying «p property
valued at from fl.'iVI lo $6,210.

vitttthlc for several reason#, in
cluding the necessity of dispws
ftcKSing a« many »# 21 per

By contrast, the direct route
ea«t of the school would mean tak

ing units, if th'-se bad to be pro- :

The ultimate goal of the school
expansion a# proponed by the plan !
office is to intergrate the new
school with the Douglas rpmmu
nity center and with the Kagle
park to the north of the center.
In other cities cooperative
program* have been worked out
between sehool and park district*
so that athletic program*, and
other school and community out
door activities can be held alike
on school and park property, thus
expanding the recreational offer
ings of both.
The Law he ad enrollment now U
130, with a capacity of 120 (not
counting the two basement class
rooms now being used as emer
gency measure).
Under the expansion program,
the school would grow something
like this:
This year and next four class
rooms would be provided in a one
story separated structure, bring
ing the capacity up to 240 and af
fording additional acreage of .5
acres (three city blocks), the min
imum for such a school.
During the period between now'
and 1968, the present old building
would be abandoned and con
demned and an eight-classroom
juilding would be provided, at
