Conceptual Master Plan - Emeryville Center of Community Life

o What happens to the old senior center if the seniors are coming here?
The old senior center stays open, we’ll just augment their
programming here (ie: fitness room, classes).
o Will we have yellow school buses to pick us up and take us to school like
other places?
o Won’t more outsiders come in? If so, will we have more security?
Security is a major concern. Community will be one site, but not
in school area. We still need to work through the details.
o We need video games in the game room.
o Can we store our bikes and scooters in the garage too?
8 th Grade
o Is there going to be restaurants on site?
Yes, plans
o Is there still going to football/soccer field?
Yes, this time with artificial turf so
o How long until its ready?
Your senior year
o Technically making our area bigger and bring in the little ones?
No bringing in the whole community
o Safety concerns with gym…carry terraces so that students and public are
kept separate and safe.
Yes, its been a concern and will be safe. Part of the next step.
o Security…I think that we should have elevators to take us everywhere
They are for
o Many skateboarders in ESS, students are going to ride on property
anyways, lets give them some designed elements or safe areas to ride.
o Is the turf going to have a nasty sand/dirt like Anna Yates?
It will be field turf (artificial).
o Why did you fix Anna Yates if we’re not going to use it?
To test ideas and that every year is important for education, the
school need remodeling asap.
o Roof top yard for elementary?
No, for middle school kids.
o How big is the elementary school yard compared? Even though shared
spaces, having all grades in one school won’t be enough room for outdoor
spaces. He suggests keeping Anna Yates at current site and making this a
middle/high school.
Not sure…we’ll check the sizes. Good points.
o Are we crowding together? It looks too cramped.
o Likes rooftop basketball courts.
o Is the pool indoor/outdoor?
Outdoor
o Can we put a sport court on top of the high school too (add more roof top
play areas)? Let’s exploit this vertical space and make the kids feel this is
a really special space.
o Is the food the same?
