Facilities Committee tours College Place High School
Community Facilities Task Force Co-Chairs Paul Schneidmiller and Executive Director of Business Services Ted Cohan organized a facilities tour of College Place High School recently. College Place Public Schools Superintendent Tim Payne led the tour.

Task Force members visited classrooms, science labs, the music room, common spaces and gym during the 90 minute tour. Kevin Cole of Architects West also joined the tour. Architects West designed College Place High School, as well as Davis Elementary School, Sager Middle School, the district office and transportation facility improvements. Cole is assisting Walla Walla Public Schools with its facilities improvement planning. Payne stressed the amount of thought, planning and input that went into the design. He said improvements in technology, flexible learning spaces, maintenance considerations, efficiencies, and a welcoming environment were critical factors in the design process.

The district’s Community Facilities Task Force will continue to meet to establish priorities, study design options, review costs and engage with the community.
