New School Design for Current Woodburn Site to Have a Public Showing
The public is invited to view a 3-D conceptual design for a new green school on the current Woodburn site on Wednesday, June 16 at 7:00 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, 456 Spruce Street, Morgantown, WV. The New Woodburn Community School Initiative sponsored the design and is hosting the showing. All are invited to attend. Woodburn parent and LEED AP, Chris Haddox, will present the proposed design to the public. The Monongalia County Board of Education has persistently said that a new school could not be built on the current four-acre site of Woodburn Elementary. Please come view how it may be done.

The proposed design accommodates 450 students in a school to be built on the current site through phased construction. Meeting West Virginia School Building Authority criteria, the design includes separate bus and parent drop off, secured entrances, appropriate parking, modern green facilities and playgrounds, all on the beautiful existing site overlooking the Deckers Creek watershed. Please view The New Woodburn Community School Initiative for more information at www.newwoodburncommunityschool.org.
