Hockaday request for expansion

The Hockaday School on Forest Lane has filed a zoning request to allow for a mega expansion on their campus. And I do mean Mega.

The all-girl school encompasses 88 acres of prime Dallas real estate that runs along Forest Lane all the way from Welch to Inwood. The school has a long and distinguished history of educating future leaders.

The proposal is for:

1.  expansion of the Fine Arts wing of the campus,
2. addition of a tall architectural "fly tower",
3. addition of a new entrance off of Forest Lane,
4.  new athletic fields with lighting,
5. new Child Development Center,
6. new Tennis Center building and courts,
7. expanded track,
8. adding/ reconfiguring parking,
9. adding bleachers to the track and playing fields, and
10. additions to the:

•  dormitories,
• Field House,
• Dining Hall, and
• Administration Building.

Wow! Stay tuned for neighborhood reaction to the requests. Now is when we find out if they've played nicely with the neighbors. [where: 75230]
