Tiffin City Schools held their second facilities master planning session on February 13th at the high school media center. With over 60 in attendance, this session focused on reviewing the guiding principles developed by the committee in the first meeting and then attendees divided into small groups to conduct a master planning exercise. Community members then developed their own plans which addressed the school's long term facility's needs.
While there were many differences within each of the plans, the majority prioritized replacing the middle school.
The school district currently operates 5 schools on different sites, each with their own opportunities and challenges.
After reviewing the information on plans, committee members broke into small groups and discussed the factors which impacted the plans that they proposed. These included, total project cost, building and grade arrangement, site preference and overall construction priority.
To view the solutions presented which will necessitate further exploration, review the material below:
In future sessions, each of these solutions will continue to be vetted and discussed as the project continues. Additional considerations will be to understand the impacts of phasing, construction timelines, traffic patterns and site layout.
