playground, there is an Assembly Hall with a seating capacity of 325, com- plete with a permanent wood floored stage. Large changing and storage rooms are provided below the stage. The Assembly Hall is to be used for physical training as well, and for this purpose a shower room was incorpor- ated as part of the changing room for the benefit of the athletes.

The framing of the building has been designed so that an additional floor and a roof playground can be added at anytime in the future.

Re-alignment of the origin- al driveway made it possible to pro- vide sufficient space for a full sized basket-ball court adjoining the As- sembly Hall and the covered play- ground.

The driveway from Austin Road has also been widened so as to allow ve- hicular traffic to reach both the old
