Excavation Costs Cut One of the principal features of the new building will be the comparatively small amount of excavation necessary for the place. Large playrooms at each end, 35 feet by 70 feet, will be entirely above ground and will require no baseâ€" ment under them. These may be used for almost any purpose, will have a 16â€" foot ceiling, so it will be possible to play basketball in them. They will have a portable stage and seating acâ€" commodation in each for about 500 people. In this manner, the playrooms usually located in the basement, have 40 per cent. additional room at the same cost. They also provide two "wings" to the building over each of which may be erected when required three classâ€" rooms. Timmins‘ new public school, to be built either this year or next in the northâ€"western section of the town. wiil strike a new note in school design here. Not only will it be a striking looking building, but it will provide the best of accommodation for the students, may have six rooms added to the twelve planned at little extra cost, may be transformed into an intermediate school easily, and will provide a real centre for community activities. At a special meeting of the puslic school board on Monday night, D. R. Tranklin, local architect, was authorizâ€" ed to go ahead with plans, after he had shown a preliminary sketch of the proâ€" posed building. With all its style in modern design, and with all the advantages of econoâ€" mical upkeep, the place will cost no more than the ordinary school buildâ€" ing, Mr. Franklin told The Advance vesterday. The exterior is to be of a grey shads and concrete material moulded in blocks, having an insulating value equal to two inches of cork. Inside that wall is brick tile. Pupils entering the school in the morning go directly in side doors to each of the two playrooms, one for girls and the other for boys. Until a few minutes before nine o‘clock, the doors leading from the playrooms to the school proper will be kept closed.
