Sealth Tour shows more polish
Ross Parker, Project Architect with Bassetti Architects for the Sealth remodel now in it's final days, led a tour of about 45 people through the renovated school Wednesday Sept. 1.
The $50 fee the attendees paid will go to assist art programs and other parts of the Sealth curriculum this year.
Debbie Taylor of the Friends of Sealth spoke briefly about her excitement about the changes that have been made and acknowledged her early opposition, but later came to really appreciate the value of what has been done.
Principal John Boyd thanked Irene Stewart and the members of the design and construction team including Project Manager Robert Evans, DKA Architecture, Bassetti Architects and the entire crew for their hard work.
Parker pointed out numerous details and changes that have been made to the structures including the new cloth seats in the 900 seat auditorium, the improved lighting and sound capabilities and expanded stage.
As the crowd entered various sections of the school, people could be heard reacting with surprise and delight at the changes that have been made. More ›
