The building will be three stories high and contain 22,000 sq. feet of tech labs, offices, and rooms for community meetings.We have visited their present facilities several times even when classes were in session. One student showing me the project he had untaken it was so far over my head I had the faintest idea all i could say what a wonderful job.We went before the full King county Council to lobby for TAF and the County did give a grant of two million for their building fund.TAF`S presence in our community will provide a learning opportunity unsurpassed for our children and a boost for our image. Students who graduate from TAF 100% go on to college that is an accomplishment worth noting. If TAF can obtain all their funding a start on the learning center is scheduled for spring of 2009 Friends of Hicks Lake are very enthused of the prospect of TAF (Technology Access Foundation) plan to build their learning Center in Lakewood Park.
