Summary

Wold Architects told the Decatur board they toured seven district buildings, collected programmatic needs and set a schedule that aims to deliver final master-plan documents in February.

Wold Architects gave the board a progress briefing on the district's master-facilities work, saying the firm completed building tours and is now analyzing programmatic needs to inform test-fits and long-range planning. Mike Eichorn, Wold's principal in charge, said the team "looked at we've toured 7 of your buildings today" and described meetings with teaching-and-learning staff to align facilities with curriculum needs.

Eichorn told the board the near-term steps include follow-up sessions for high-school-level programming, detailed test-fitting work and convening the long-range planning group after school starts. "Ultimately, we wanna have the final documents to you, in February," Eichorn said, linking the schedule to district feedback and continued data collection.

District staff said they will return monthly with updates and will continue community engagement as the facilities work advances.
