The document summarizes renovations made to the Jeff Davis High School media center after flooding caused water damage. Key changes included new paint, carpet, shelving and layout. Surveys found students and faculty were pleased with increased lighting and visibility of students at computers from anywhere in the center. Some issues noted were the media center's location in the rear of the school and need for more computers to accommodate class sizes. Improvements proposed included a ceiling-mounted projector, additional computers, and contemporary artwork.
