All new constructi on is too expensive.Trying to build a separate dining hall and performing arts center is too cost prohibiti ve at this ti me. The expense of building those 2 separate buildings would easily crest around $12-15 million. (In 2008, a new cafeteria/commons area for the elementary and middle schools was priced at roughly $4 million.)

But, there is a soluti on!By using one of CAK’s existi ng structures and doing a renovati on project, we can signifi cantly lower the cost of the overall constructi on. The cheapest space to build on a campus is not classrooms, not theatre space, and not even a cafeteria. It’s a gym!

A new gymnasium would free up the current campus center to be divided and thoroughly renovated into a • cafeteria as well as a performing arts theatre.

• The new gym would also allow all three spaces to be dedicated to their parti cular usages: nutriti on, the arts, • and athleti cs.

• The cost of the gym is approximately ½ of what the cafeteria was esti mated to be.•

NUTRITIONMiddle and elementary school students have no quality nutriti on opti ons or a dedicated cafeteria in which to eat. Many younger students eat either in their classrooms or in an

overcrowded gym.

PERFORMING ARTSMusic and performing arts students lack quality lighti ng, sound, and stage opportuniti es with which to strive for excellence in their craft . Currently, performances are given on our small stage located in the gym of the Campus Center. Lights, sound equipment, and seati ng are rented for every show.

ATHLETICS Basketball and volleyball teams are limited in the practi ce space available as well in the ability to host state level tournaments. Plus, due to theatrical performances being held in the same facility, the main gym is oft en shut down when teams most need to practi ce.

CAK has signifi cant facility needs that impact almost every student.
