The actual file may be found at ghsteacherresources.grant ** Facilities Timeline: ** Currently Glencliff is very limited in the amount of instructional space available. This year we have two full time teachers that are floating in order to meet with their classes. We have 3 part-time tutors that are using the media center as their primary meeting location. We only have one computer lab that is available fulltime for classroom use and the media center is used as a computer lab when available. Below are the specific projects and their impact on instructional opportunities.  1.  Renovation of the Auto-mechanics Wing- Mr. Edgens is aware of this project and it is dependent upon the release of funds through the Mayor’s office. The renovation plans have already been developed. We are closing the auto-mechanics program and the renovation of this area will create 5 additional classrooms, a wrestling facility, two Health Science Labs, the relocation of the STEM Academy and the building engineer. As we continue with the re-design initiative, we have partnered with Nashville State Community College and High Tech Institute who are prepared to provide course and instruction in support of career academies, dual enrollment, the GAINS academy and the PACE academy. This renovation is time sensitive and the highest priority.  2.  Aquatics center renovations- With the collaboration and support of Dr. Kecia Ray and Mr. Chris Henson, a partnership has been developed between the YMCA and Glencliff High School. This partnership will create a YMCA program specific to Glencliff High School and the Woodbine community. The needs are as follows:  a.  Re-tiling of both aquatics locker room floors  b.  Additional Parking created in the aquatics area  c.  Complete the wiring of the Wellness Center to provide electricity for the cardio-vascular equipment  d.  The addition of 2-3 security cameras  e.  Paving of the track for student, camp and community use  f.  Removal of the old brown windows and installation of new tinted windows (this a future considerations and is required to begin the YMCA partnership)  g.  Improved exterior lighting around the building  3.   Science Lecture Hall renovation- Our plan is to change the science lecture hall into a technology center. Through the use of re-design grant funds, we have allocated funding for the purchase of 60 + Hybrid computer systems, wireless access, print capability and the furniture. We will need to have seating removed, 1 security camera, electric outlets to accommodate the computer lab, and new carpet installed in this area. This renovation will greatly improve student access to technology, provide the primary location for Nashville State Community College Dual and Joint enrollment programs.  4.  Photo Lab Renovation- An old photography lab was discovered on the second floor. We would like this area to be changed into an instructional support office area. Based on rough estimates this renovation will require the removal of old equipment, the installation of a hallway door, lighting and HVAC upgrades, carpet and electricity.  5.  Locker Room Addition- We have one space that needs to have a wall built and an exit door to finalize our need for a visiting team and YMCA changing area. We already have the materials to install the locker systems.
