How to make the preschool facility more functional

OUR PRESCHOOL DIRECTOR has requested that we modify the school building by putting a door in one wall and removing some storage shelving. 

Below the jump, I describe April’s idea. (NOTE: This is a speculative post that is exploring a possible project; no funds have been allocated at this time.)

Update on the storage room idea

IT TURNS OUT that there is competition for the otherwise unused space above the stairwell! In addition to the storage room idea that I described previously, it could be used to augment the play yard.

Below the jump, I discuss the second idea. (NOTE: This is a speculative post that is exploring a possible project; no funds have been allocated at this time.)…

Help Wanted: Organizer for storage spaces

AFTER MORE THAN A CENTURY, is it a surprise that we have accumulated a lot of stuff? Things that will be useful again for a similar event, or that might be handy someday, or that was once useful but has become obsolete.

If you have a good head for spatial relations, just think of the sense of accomplishment you could have after taking charge of our storage spaces! Our stuff needs a little lovin’.…

You can inventory what we have, decide what to keep, and assign all those things a place that is recorded somewhere.

In addition to the clutter, we do have some (partially) empty cabinets and closets. Well, what should go in those spots? Maybe you know the answer.…

If this challenge grabs you, please talk with Fleming, our director of operations.

Storage space out of thin air?

PRACTICALLY SPEAKING, one of the biggest barriers to the productive use of our facilities is the shortage of storage space. Things that we use only occasionally (such as holiday items) keep getting shoved into corridors and corners of rooms —and other places where they don’t belong — because they lack a true home where they can be stashed.

Below the jump, this post describes a potential storage spot on our premises that has been identified by Guillermo Groisman, a retired architect and general contractor — and a friend of Mishkon. (NOTE: This is a speculative post that is exploring a possible project; no funds have been allocated at this time.)…
