Lamar High School is embracing its future as a 21st century school ... with a past.

The schools principal and members of its Project Advisory Team last week unveiled plans for a new five- to six-story academic building with multi-level parking garage to be built on Eastside Drive and adjoined by the architecturally significant, Depression-era school building that has stood on Westheimer for 77 years. Tennis courts are shown on the roof of the new buildings, although the design is mostly conceptual at this stage, said Patrick Glenn, principal with architectural firm Perkins+Will.

We started planning this, actually, before the bond passed. We were hopeful it would pass, said Dr. James McSwain, who is in his 17th year as principal at Lamar. The original building is 77 years old, and were still educating kids in it today ... Its taken a lot of thought and heart to come up with ideas that will make this a thriving school community long into the future.

Lamar is among 40 schools being repaired or rebuilt in the $1.89 billion bond program that Houston ISD voters approved in 2012. Like three other HISD high schools Milby, Austin and Davis Lamars inclusion in the bond package stipulated the new facility for between 2,800 and 3,100 students would preserve the architecturally significant building structure.

Designed by a team that included John F. Staub and Kenneth Franzheim and constructed of Texas limestone with steel ribbon-style windows, the old building has served as a hurricane shelter, McSwain said. Additions made in 1987 are not as sturdy, he added, and will be demolished when the new academic building is completed. The old building, including the auditorium, which features a relief map of Texas designed by Nino Lenarduzzi at its entry, will remain with a new addition behind it for performing arts that could include a black box theater.

The campus is being designed with an eye toward modern campuses by employers like Google and Exxon Mobil, McSwain said, with flexible spaces to accommodate small groups to large seminars.

The high school already is adopting a more collaborative learning model, referred to as a flipped classroom, where homework happens in the classroom with teacher guidance to help students be more analytical and think critically.

About 50 persons attended the community meeting to learn about Lamars design plans. As proposed, the concept would retain some parking near the front of the school off Westheimer. The new parking garage on Eastside will provide space for more than 1,000 vehicles, with two levels below ground for teachers and five above for students. It will provide easy access to athletic fields in the center of the campus, including a multi-purpose field and track, baseball, softball and three practice fields. The plan leaves an existing athletic storage building in place and has space to add bleachers and a central concessions area later.

Noting that some sports currently are played off campus, McSwain said, This plan tries to bring all of our kids back to our campus, and thats not an easy feat.

Security and technology upgrades will abide by HISDs standards for 21st century schools.

Davenport is going it alone in the city bus business.

For several decades, Davenport's CitiBus shared office and bus-garage space with MetroLINK in an aged building in Rock Island. When a $2 million-plus federal grant became available for the recently completed facility dubbed "Metro," near the Moline-Rock Island border, Davenport had a decision to make.

"We were given the option to stay or go," Davenport Public Works Director Mike Clarke said of the temporary uncertainty of continuing Davenport's contract with MetroLINK. "We did a study, even hired our own Realtor to look at locations. In the end, it was determined that operating right out of Public Works was our best option."

The best option comes with accommodations, including three new facilities that are being tied into the Public Works campus at 1200 E. 46th St. In addition to modifying the existing washing rack to fit the CitiBus fleet, the city created 11 new positions and recently began construction on a bus-maintenance area, a garage for the current 21 buses (19 are in service with two for backup) with room for more and an administrative center.

The administrative office, which faces East 46th Street at the east end of the sprawling Public Works center, was built with 80 percent federal funds and 20 percent city money. The total cost for bus-related additions to the Public Works campus is $2,523,850, including the $428,264 federal grant.

The new garage, which sits to the rear of the complex, is being built with room for growth. It also can be relocated if the city decides in the future to go with a stand-alone, all-in-one busing facility like the one in Rock Island.

"This is where the buses will come home at night," Clarke said, pointing to a foundation and the start of a perimeter wall for the garage. "When the day comes we get a federal grant for a beautiful new building, we can build it right here, and move this fabricated structure anywhere we want."

MetroLINK's new "Metro" station already is a full-service hub.

"The Operations and Maintenance Center was built to support and maintain Metros fleet of 60 buses, three Channel Cats, a number of support vehicles, and of course, approximately 125 employees," said Jennifer Garrity, manager of administration for MetroLINK.

The 150,000-square-foot building came at a cost of $37 million.

BAYSHORE BEAUTIFUL A severe lack of parking and a call to expand performing and visual art extracurriculars on a small campus are causing growing pains between the Academy of the Holy Names and its surrounding neighbors.

Academy president Arthur Raimo strove to avoid an adversarial tone at a recent meeting with community members when he presented plans for the southwest corner of the school's property: a performing and visual arts center adjacent to a 230-space parking garage topped with an athletic deck.

"We want to be a good neighbor. To be as least obtrusive as can be," he said. "I wish I could tell you there will be no issues, no obstructions. But I'd be lying to you."

The 19-acre campus fronts Bayshore Boulevard and straddles both sides of MacDill Avenue to serve 900 coed students in prekindergarten through eighth grade and a girls-only high school (grades 9-12).

Reconfiguration of existing classroom space is not expected to be noticeable, while the exterior additions "will be very apparent," Raimo told the crowd, made up primarily of Bayshore Trace condominium and Julia Street residents.

Trustees, administrators and the faculty spent months studying the most pressing needs more parking, more comprehensive arts programs and "finding options are quite limited," Raimo said.

"We desperately need more parking," he said, "but that is not the primary reason at all. We need the (arts) center to compete with Berkeley Prep and Tampa Prep and other private schools. We are losing potential students without a robust arts program."

Harvard Jolly architects presented renderings of the two proposed buildings, which would be built on the existing basketball and tennis courts and running track. The arts center features a 350-seat theater, plus a smaller black box theater and studios that open to outdoor courtyards to expand the usable space.

The 230-space garage adds 100 parking spaces. The roof deck will hold two basketball courts and three tennis courts and bleachers. The current 35-foot height zoning will not need to change.

An added bonus, Raimo said, is the opportunity to address daily congestion and mitigate blockages at dropoff and pickup. "But we can't address traffic issues without the parking garage," he said.

Leading Superyacht Brokerage, Fraser Yachts Announces Six New Superyacht Additions to Their Sales Portfolio

Homeowners in the flood zone can build major additions without having to move their furnaces out of the basement in all but the most extreme cases after council further softened city planners new rules for renovations near the river.

Residents near the Elbow and Bow Rivers had strongly protested rule changes that would require moving electrical panel, ductwork and furnace out of basement for renovations like a new mud room or garage.

After council ordered staff to reconsider the rules last month, planners revised rules to say that moving mechanical systems would only be required in more dramatic house renovations, waterproof chambers would be OK in others, and no extra mitigation measures would be required for alterations of 10 per cent or less.

The rules still werent clear enough or suitable for several residents affected by last Junes flood. Elbow Park resident Paul Battistella said moving things upstairs would have cost five to six times more than it did to replace all his basement systems.

We have suffered enough, said Battistella, a prominent condo developer.

Its especially hard to rework all the systems in older homes, and many of those would become teardowns, he said.

I certainly dont want any flood protection rules to hasten the demise of a heritage building, Coun. Druh Farrell said.

We need to embed that in the rules so were more conscious of it as an impact.

Homeowners making additions of 10 per cent or greater will have to install sewer valves and above-ground electrical shut-off switch. Fully rebuilt homes in the flood fringe zone are already required to establish mechanical systems above the ground level.

After several hours of debate, councillors dismissed the advice of its planners Monday. They exempted homeowners from having to protect their mechanical systems unless their renovation was expanding a house by 75 per cent or more, and enshrined those exemptions in a bylaw.

VOL. 129 | NO. 109 | Thursday, June 05, 2014

A Cooper-Young parking garage and a pool of capital funding divided equally among the seven Memphis City Council districts are the two biggest ticket items in the way of still-tentative budget amendments proposed by council members.

Memphis City Council members proposed a set of budget amendments Tuesday that include funding for a Cooper-Young parking garage and other proposals from council members. Final votes on the amendments are two weeks away.

(Daily News File/Lance Murphey)

The Tuesday, June 3, budget wrap-up in council committee sessions was the first of two such amending sessions, which will resume June 17.

The amendments are mostly additions to the $596 million operating budget and $83 million capital budget proposed earlier this year by Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.

Among the amendments presented Tuesday in budget committee, but not voted on yet, were:

$3.6 million in capital funding for a Cooper-Young parking garage, proposed by council member Janis Fullilove.

$14 million in capital funding to be divided equally among the seven single-member council districts, proposed by council member Wanda Halbert, with a freeze on all nonemergency, nonessential spending by the city for one year as an alternative.

$1 million proposed by council member Joe Brown for Klondike revitalization.
