<p>frazzled1–what a sweet story. Tell me about this renovated school! (In California, most schools are single story with just rows and rows of classrooms–so I imagine you are talking about something far cozier…am curious. If I were building one, it would have lots of light, windows, courtyards, cozy lounges, cafe-style dining areas–would less institutional REALLY be so hard or expensive to build? What you usually see are long hallways with people just parked in their wheelchairs outside their rooms–I can’t imagine that that does anything but hasten their unhappiness and mental/physical decline.</p>
