\t\t\t\t\"Isabella<\/a>The Isabella Bird School will be ready for operation this coming fall, but that doesn\u2019t mean construction will be completed. \u201cWe are continuing to build up and add on,\u201d said project manager Eric Kesti.\u201d \u201cBy the time the school is finished, it will be larger than the Wells Fargo Center (cash register building) and the Four Seasons Hotel, and just a little smaller than Republic Plaza and 1801 California St.\u201d\nOriginally, DPS decided to add enough room for 5th graders. \u201cWhen we looked at the plot of land and where the structure was at, we decided, \u2018why stop there?\u2019\u201d said DPS official Kyle Clark. \u201cThe building and area had the infrastructure to hold more, so we decided to add some more space.\u201d In fact, Isabella Bird will eventually be able to hold a junior high and will also have several floors of office space. The design team even made sure the school was big enough to house the high school in case things don\u2019t work out with the current design<\/a>.\n\u201cWe are very pleased with where things are going,\u201d said Isabella Bird Principal Sue Ackerman. \u201cLeasing office space will add huge dollars to the schools budget, and you can never have too much space for the school.\u201d Getting around may be a little more challenging for the students and staff however. \u201cWe will have a series of colors and numbers in the hallways and by the elevators so that kids will understand where to go after a short time,\u201d said Ackerman. \u201cPlus, we will have bellman in all the elevators as well as hall monitors to make sure people are in the right area of the building. In fact, we already have seven golf carts like they do at the airport to get kids back to the appropriate area quickly if necessary.\u201d\nParents should not be concerned about the future office traffic. \u201cOffice employees will have their own unique doors to enter through,\u201d said Kesti. \u201cThey will have to have a badge to get in, and the kids will never see them. They won\u2019t even know they are there.\u201d 2014-15 will be a big year for the new elementary school, but it appears even bigger years are to come.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
