Re: “Attn. Mr. Zirgulis: Natatorium Is Stirring”
Supt. Dave LaRose says “the odds are very good” of the Culver Park continuation school taking over a portion of the Natatorium, the long slumbering architectural giant on the campus of Culver City High School.
“It will be Culver Park-plus,” he said with emphasis.
“I would expect that, because of the space, a lot of other things also will be in the Natatorium” when it reopens.
This is no time, however, for optimists to hold their breath because as with many desirable targets to be underwritten by the $106 million improvements bond, the drawing table still is being built.
A reopening date reposes cloudily in the amorphous future.
“I don’t know about the timeline,” Mr. LaRose said. “Our interest from a School Board perspective, or at least from an administrative team perspective, is to bring to the Board as we start identifying projects, some will be stand-alone.
“We are doing this for all schools all over the place,” he said. “So when you look at specific goals and objectives, such as Robert Frost, or you look at secondary science. Do we do a new space for middle school-high school science? Do we look at the Natatorium?
“Those can be… I assigned to a specific architectural firm that do all the work. They can move ahead on a parallel track to the other work that is happening.”
