Fort Morgan residents who showed up at Fort Morgan High School Monday night got a first-look at schematics of what the middle school may look like.

Principal Architect with Larson Incitti Architects Bruce Larson showed the schematic designs of the new middle school in a PowerPoint presentation.

Larson Incitti Architects worked with Wold Architects and Engineers and a group of community members known as the Design Advisory Group (DAG) to generate the schematics. DAG's purpose in the process was to help the two firms understand the community's needs.

The schematics shown Monday night showcased three distinct classroom wings, each with two floors. Larson said each wing will house a different team of students, which is a typical element is middle school design.

"This is a classic middle school model that divides the school by grades, so the building doesn't seem so big and overwhelming," he said. "We know the middle school years are challenging, and this helps to mitigate some of those issues."

Per discussions with DAG, architects set the library to be a distinct element in the building's design, Larson said. The schematics also showed how the administrative area, cafetorium, unified arts spaces, main gym and auxiliary gym will be laid out.

"Schematic design represents about 10 percent of the overall design effort that goes into designing a building. But this 10 percent is really important because we are defining what 80 or 90 percent of the final design issues that will arise."

The schematics showed three two-story classroom wings shooting out of a hallway that connects with the rest of the building. The unified arts space is divided in three separate areas, each one near a different classroom wing.

The designs show the entire facility in an arch, creating a court yard area. Larson said the space in between each classroom wing could also be utilized as outdoor learning space.

Community members voiced some concerns about the parking area and building security.

The design for a controversial glass tower on Vancouvers waterfront that has been called everything from origami to the blob to the icepick didnt get approval in its first pass at the citys urban design panel.

The panel, a group of architects and engineers who provide advice to the city planning department, said the 26-storey tower crowded too close to the citys heritage Waterfront Station, a former train station that is now a central transit hub.

The current design, by internationally renowned Chicago architects Gordon Gill and Adrian Smith, shows a glass building rising from a narrow base close to the east side of the station and curving over its roof, with windows angled like the facets of a diamond.

I admire your work and Im very happy to see you working on a project in the city, Vancouver architect Matthew Soules told the two. But, he said, the proximity and overhang of the tower to the station is ultimately a disservice to the dignity of the station. By positioning the tower so close, it appears that (a future connecting road on the other side) is more important than one of the citys civic structures.

Mr. Soules, like others on the panel, said the 1914 station is one of this young citys few historic buildings and needs to be respected.

As well, the building, on a site that is currently a private parking lot between the station and the Steamworks restaurant and pub, doesnt do enough to make the public feel welcome, the panel said.

They noted that, whether owner Cadillac Fairview likes it or not, the public has come to see that parking lot along with the view of the mountains and water from it as their space. Cadillac Fairview also owns Waterfront Station.

Architect Jennifer Marshall suggested creating a winter garden that would extend through the lobby of the building, turning the whole ground floor, as well as the plaza outside, into a public space.

In spite of the criticisms, almost all the panel members agreed that the building fits with the citys future waterfront plan to have an office tower of that height and density there.

They also didnt have a problem with the very modern design next to the station, saying that many cities have shown that the blend of old and new can be attractive.
