Subcommittee seeks formal facilities plan after surprise PACE Room 62 renovation

Staff described Room 62 work: the space (a former storage closet) will be converted into offices for district directors with a new floor, ceiling, lighting, and remaining fire-suppression work; modular workstations will be installed to consolidate directors in one location. The presenter explained the decision was intended to free up classroom space and improve administrative operations and listed the remaining tasks: fire suppression drop, lighting and finishing modules.

Several committee members said this was the first time they had heard the plan and urged that director relocations and small renovations be part of an explicit facilities plan so the committee can prioritize and budget across 19 buildings. They asked administration to provide cost-center breakdowns and a timeline and to return with an update to the subcommittee.
