My plans for winter break are to create a wish list and a budget. When we met with Development they suggested creating something like this so I could showcase it when I present to the Board of Trustees. Mrs. Archambault has contacted Mr. Ellis so we could meet and talk about the financial aspect of the space. When creating the wish list I will include the trends that were found in the survey and I will incorporate Mr. Miller's ideas as suggested below. Once create this wish list I will create some potential ideas for the space. Within the next couple weeks I post a copy of the wish list with the visuals!

Mrs. Archambault and I met with Dan Miller, the Assistant Director of Operations, Facilities. We spoke about the space logistically. Unfortunately, the ivy cannot be removed because one of it main purposes it to prevent flooding or leaking in the basement of the library. We discussed other options such as flagstones, planters with flowers and more. After coming to the conclusion that the ivy would remain, we looked at possibilities of making the space more welcoming such as cleaning up some of the edges where the ivy is growing over the windows and other places. To add some color into the space, Mr. Miller suggested putting pots with various flower near the entrance and in the corners. We also spoke about possibly displaying student art work. Potentially in the future student could have outdoor exhibits. Not only could these exhibits incorporate students' work but it could also include alumnae work as well. Mrs. Archambault suggested a sculpture. This meeting mainly focused on the practical possibilities of giving life to the space.
