is being made to be sensitive to the historic nature of the windows and allow the benefit
of modern window construction and glazing.
I have also provided a color rendering of the south elevation of the proposed project.
Brick, ground -face and split -face block, as well as pre -cast, have been chosen to
- complement the look of the 1906 building as well as our budget. Window proportions
have been accurately shown as well as the roof angles over the Flex -Room to the west
now match the original building.
Overall, I feel our design team has done an excellent job of blending the additions, while
respecting the historic nature of the 1906 Laurel School. If you have any questions,
please call me at (970) 490-3412. And again, thank you for your valued input.
Sincerely,

Re: Centennial High School Remodel/Addition J
Dear Ms. Tunner,
I would like to thank you for the opportunity to discuss this project last week on the
phone. As I indicated, this project was placed on a temporary hold while the District
evaluated the impact of enrollment drops on all of the projects approved in the November
2000 Bond Election. In March of this year, the decision was made to move forward with
the addition and renovation of Centennial High School on this site. Unfortunately even
'. with the delay, our timeline remains the same. As we moved forward with approval by
' the Planning & Zoning Board, it was brought to my attention by Ted Shepard that we
i._
hC have o 1c1 y addressed the concerns of the Landmark Preservation Commission.
° T e concerns re outlined in your letter to Jennifer Cordes of Slater Paull Architects
o May 23, 2002 I apologize for not responding sooner, but I do feel that most of the
Cohumssidns S96cerns have been addressed in our final design. However, not all have
been e t ed.
The Commission's main concern surrounded the "massing" of the stair tower being in the
front of the two-story addition. We did evaluate relocating the stair tower (or its mass)
back into the addition as suggested by the Commission. However, due to the limited
space available, the area displaced by moving the stair tower would now be shifted to the
front of the building again. This also created a less than desirable circulation pattern
within the addition. Therefore, we made the decision to leave the stair tower in its
original location but have reduced the overall width; and, moved it back into the addition
to soften the impact of the "mass". A comment was also made about "marking the entry
with something that isn't the entry". It may not have been made clear to the Commission,
but this area will become the new main entry into this school. For security reasons, all
student and visitors will enter the site via this new front door. The entry to the 1906
building will be locked from the outside.
xiT;i yn ,f'"
Another significant change was made in the window proportions. I believe there was
concern with the "square" windows that were originally proposed for both additions.
These windows have been changed to now reflect the proportions of the original building
windows. The windows in the 1906 building will be replaced as part of this project. I
have enclosed a copy of the specification sections that will dictate this work. Every effort
