home at the Rise Up Academy, and until a permanent home could be arranged, it was <br />moved into the first floor old the Old Marquette during November of 2011. It remained <br />there until the summer of 2015 when the costume collection was relocated to its present <br />home at LaSalle Academy. The Old Marquette is now vacant. <br />9 The Current condition of the building is very poor, the heating system is no longer viable <br />and the natural gas supply has been removed. The water service has been removed and <br />the piping system is now plugged with rust debris. The electrical service is still turned on <br />for the security and fire alarm system to work. The electrical service is old and under <br />sized, it barely served the needs of the old school and could not allow for the use of A/C, <br />or some kitchen equipment. The roof is beyond repair, has pulled away from the parapet <br />wall, and leaks into the building in many locations. The building's masonry requires a <br />total restoration and the smoke stack requires rebuilding and is currently fenced off to <br />protect people from falling debris. The window frames are rotted and barely able to hold <br />the plywood covering them. The list goes on and includes all items related to the <br />building e.g., asbestos removal, and all interior finishes, A.D.A. compliance, lighting, <br />technology, security, life safety, Kitchen, Cafeteria area, Administrative areas. The <br />Hebard & Hebard study identified theses needs in the feasibility study. (See attached <br />exhibit A) <br />9 The SBCSC's vision for the Old Marquette building does not include repurposing or <br />selling to a developer for alternate uses. The Old Marquette building is located in the <br />backyard of the new MPMA and is just thirty (3 0) feet away from the edge of the <br />parking lot and is just a few more feet to the playground area. They are both located on <br />the same seven (7) acre lot with the old building taking up about three (3) acres, and the <br />new building having the remaining four (4) acres. The State recommends seven acres of <br />land for a primary center. The long term safety of children, along with long term <br />functionality of the new building requires that we retain the whole site. The current <br />daily parent drop off and pick up extends south down Brookfield St. and wraps around <br />Hamilton St. The students attending MPMA do not have the same access to outdoor <br />learning and green space as the other primaries. With the current security challenges that <br />are faced by all schools today, voluntarily allowing close access to our children or fixture <br />access as properties change hands makes alternative uses not an option. <br />➢ The SBCSC has three historic buildings it currently uses for the education of its students, <br />they are Jefferson Traditional Intermediate Center, Madison STEAM Academy, and <br />Monroe Primary Center, The SBCSC has invested millions in the renovations of these <br />buildings and continues to take excellent care of them.. Over the past several years we <br />have replaced, with accurate detail, the storm damaged cupola at Jefferson along with <br />replacing five (5) roof sections, and cleaning/ repairing the limestone. At Madison we <br />have repaired the masonry, and cleaned the limestone/ brick on the original part of the <br />building. We also replaced the slate roof section on the south side this year. We continue <br />to maintain the Monroe Primary Center after a total $18,000,000 renovation was done in <br />2010.1 believe the SBCSC has shown its commitment to these historically designated <br />structures. <br />2. <br />
