Plans for the new Welcome Center were revealed during the Marshalltown School Board meeting on Monday. The Welcome Center will renovate the inside of the Orpheum Theater, mostly just the office area. If you enter through the East Doors, you will enter into what will be the new Lobby area. The plan is to have a total of 4 work spaces for each employee along with a conference area, family room, and 2 areas for children to entertain themselves. There will be a mural in the lobby featuring MCSD students. The district has received over $30,000 in donations, but the cost for this change is just over $60,000. The goal is to be ready for registration, which opens on July 1st this summer. The school board voted unanimously for the lobby mural and designs for the Welcome Center on Monday.
