The auditorium seats 800 students, but the school is designed for 950. Why isn’t the auditorium large enough to accommodate the entire school?
The MSBA requires that the school be designed as efficiently and as effectively as possible. The cost to build an auditorium is expensive and they (MSBA) feel that an auditorium designed for 2/3 of the student population is acceptable because of how rarely the space will be needed for maximum capacity. East Bridgewater’s population is 950 and 2/3 of 950 is only about 650 students but since East Bridgewater is part of the model school program, they will allow the auditorium capacity to be 800.
