A tour was led by Pat Goddard. Commission members were joined by Sheila Butts from <br />Recreation and Charlotte Rodgers from the Senior Center. Tour included all aspects of the site with <br />intended functions of each room specified. <br /> <br />Special attention was paid to the fitness area, on the lower level. A request was amade by a resident <br />for a separate sensory room area intended for people with sensory issues who may or may not be also <br />on the autism spectrum. Commission felt that isolation was not the answer Ï that careful and judicious <br />integration was preferable Ï with possibly an alcove of the main room set aside for sensory items. <br />Suggestions for entrances and incorporating more natural light in the lower area were offered by Len, <br />and Pat said that more discussion will follow. <br />
