Open House Today at La Salle West-Side School
Open house for the new La Salle high school at First avenue and Edgewood road NW runs today from 1 to 4 30 p m. The $1 million campus opened last September and showcases windowless design with a 125 ton chiller air conditioning and full acoustical treatment. Architect Leo C Peiffer Associates built by Morehead Construction Co with a 12 63 dollar per square foot cost. The 18 classrooms include two large rooms with folding partitions and a central multi purpose room that doubles as chapel and cafeteria. The school supports a co institutional setup with separate sections for boys and girls while science rooms remain central and adaptable for co educational use. The campus includes a two story physical education building and a gym seating over 2000 at full capacity. Students hail from nearby parishes including St Patrick's St Ludmila's St Jude's St Patrick's Fairfax and Holy Trinity Walford. The Brothers of the Christian Schools operate the campus with a strict uniform policy and daily religion requirements. More teachers are expected as the system expands nationwide.
