The schemes illustrate the rearrangements that have been made in the plan of WEST PARK SECONDARY SCHOOL from the moment it was built in 1950 to 2010. Comparing 1950, 1980 and 2010 the school territory has undergone a lot of changes. The only one object, that has remained unchanged, is a School building. However, in 1980 the Science block was built on the left next to the Main building. This new block and a small car park replaced some houses that had already stayed there at the time of construction. Moreover, a big Sports field covering a quarter of the layout was built at that period. We can see, that Playground have taken a big part of the school area from the first days of the school. Nevertheless, it also was cut in favor of the place for a Sports field in 2010. What’s more, the Car park has extended from nothing to the third part of the whole school territory. It can be concluded that the School was being modernized during all 60 years. Unfortunately, they had to cut children activities places at the last years because of technical progress and increasing of cars owners between parents and school stuff.
