Conceptual Master Plan - Emeryville Center of Community Life

o How do we plan for these folks to be access after graduation? Need
guarantees that these kids, even if outside of Emeryville, will be welcome
back.
The city is clear this is open to all, not just Emeryville people.
o Can we get hired here?
Yes, you have to apply.
o We should have the community services throughout the building so that
it’s used more by all students.
That’s a good idea, we’ll take it into consideration.

On this site, but from 1 to 3 stories throughout site.

No. It needed refurbished.

I came from a multi-story school in MA, so I don’t think it will work.
How are we going to keep the different age groups apart…what if more
12 th grade guys hook up with middle school girls because were all on the
same site?
Good questions and very serious, were planning different
academies to make it safe.
Is the community going to be on the school campus? If yes, how do we
keep the crackheads out and the campus site safe?
We’re working with school and police to address security
What about Anna Yates, what will that be?
Not sure, could be many things.
What about new sports fields and its size?
Using artificial grass, but about the same size
Reminds me of former school in MA, with walkways and multiple stories.
Where will the kids move when this being going?
Not sure yet, but Ralph Hawley School on 61 st and Doyle may be
an option.
If this is supposed a school, are we going to be too crowded with the
community on site?
Will we have lighting for evening activities and library open to the public?
Yes.
What happens when the district grows? This looks like it only holds the
current students?
The district isn’t projected to grow too rapidly, we have a few
extra classrooms and can add a whole third story on a portion to
hold 1,200 students in the future.
What is the total price and where do the funds come from?
$125 M, $25 M
This will be a hecka tight schedule, how is this going to happen?
Can we get sound proof windows? It gets hecka loud from outside noise.
