On Tuesday, July 27, 2022, the design team met with Muncie
Community Schools to review the site design. The site design proposed included
two parking lot areas to the South and a separate drop off loop near the gym.
This allows for additional capacity for drop off and parking to the south side
of the building and adds a separation of car riders from the buses. It was
decided during the meeting to look at an option that moved the parking closer
to the building and function as the drop off loop. Schmidt Associates is going
to develop that option for review in the next meeting. The other focus of
discussion was the existing playgrounds and how they are modified for the new
layout. The smaller playground to the east will have a new fence and sidewalk
leading to the entrance. This will help with the safety of the kids with the
added traffic. The west playground will be enlarging its hard surface play area
to the south of the play equipment. The new hard surface will have basketball
goals and the school will stripe the asphalt for additional activities.
