Art Room Renovations

All elementary and middle school art classrooms, as well as most art classrooms at Randolph High School, will be fully renovated with new floors, sinks, ceilings, cabinetry, and ventilation/HVAC (in spaces who need these improvements). All kilns will be replaced, many of which are either nonfunctional or deteriorating, with upgraded safety features, including multiple emergency buttons, in each art classroom with kilns. In addition to general storage, student art storage will be strategically relocated in many spaces to have a specific location. Storage optimization will declutter classroom spaces and provide pieces created with specific mediums requiring special needs like drying, such as paintings, with an area for them to be placed. In elementary art classrooms, sinks will be lowered to accommodate students of different heights based on grade level with two sinks in these spaces. This will give elementary school students the ability to wash brushes, hands, etc. without the need for accommodation. All spaces will also have updated artificial LED lighting to adjust the color spectrum that is projected in every art classroom. Teachers and students can switch to different settings such as bright light, cool light, or natural light depending on the type of artwork they are working on.
