1 Athletic Facility Design Team

2 Meeting/Work Session Highlights #1: We introduced and explained the focus of the team. We were presented with the progress of the steering committee to date, and presented with the three options for facility design. The meeting ended with the work of discovering what the members of the committee would like our athletes to be, and what facilities we would like our athletes to have. #2: The committee toured the interior athletic facilities of the high school, including the weightroom, locker rooms, training room, gymnasiums, natatorium, the Commons area, and the restrooms and concession area. The committee discussed what facilities appeared to work well, which facilities do not appear to work well for the needs of the athletes, and what improvements would the committee like to see in the facilities of MHS

3 #3: The Committee created list of objectives and improvements to the athletic facilities from the previous meeting and gave each member five votes for items the members viewed as a priority and five votes for items that were not a priority. #4: The final meeting reviewed the priority rankings of the previous meeting and summarized the committee s key findings and prioritized the committee s objectives
