Alyson Yarus from Noll & Tam came to visit recently. First she chatted with us about our thoughts on the Yellow Jackets play at the Berkeley Rep (she saw it with some of the Task Force members). Then she presented us with three exciting layouts of what the teen center could possibly look like. One had three floors, another had a bunch of windows and they were all really great.
Our team pretty much unanimously all gravitated toward the same plan that we had all come to like without arguments or persuasion. So I guess the one we chose must be “the one” (hopefully). We all really liked Option #1 because it has a partial third floor (also known as the roof) with a bunch of programming going on up there. The rest of the building included a leadership development room, academic achievement room, and an employment career training office for teens as well. Alyson made notes on the schemes so she had to take them with her, but we’re all excited and can’t wait to see what she brings us next time.
