Friends of Broadview Thomson Grants

Friends of Broadview Thomson

Friends of Broadview Thomson will hire a landscape architecture firm to lead a design process with community input and develop a schematic design for an improved school front by July 2018. Possible improvements include brightening the face of the school building with art or murals, adding benches to the front grounds, improving walkways and pedestrian connections, and constructing a safe, efficient drop-off/pick-up area.

Over the next several months the Friends of Broadview Thompson will engage the broader community in a project to design and hang banners on the school frontage that reflect the diverse population of the school. This neighborhood driven effort also includes a clean up of the school grounds. This effort will be completed by December.

Friends of Broadview Thomson will work with the design firm from the earlier phase to prepare construction documents for community-prioritized improvements at the front of the school site (13052 Greenwood Ave N). Improvements to be implemented with subsequent funding would include low-maintenance landscaping, benches in plaza, banners mounted to the building to reflect school diversity, pedestrian path improvements, and a readerboard for school and community information. There will be opportunities for informal community review during this phase. Construction documents will be prepared by mid-September 2018.
