I haven't been inside Consol since '96. Does it still have the open courtyard? We ate a lot of lunches out there.
Sometime around 1998 or 1999 the school was extensively renovated. The library is where the courtyard is (I think, and I don't have my old maps with me) but I hear that even since I went to it in the late 2000s it has been altered again, with windows surrounding the library). Most of the expansion more or less "built out" the school, it was previously that white stucco which is still on a few sides and added the brick. There's maps on the city servers (I've seen them, at least of the science wing) showing exactly what they did, but based on aerials, they added another row of science classrooms to the side closest to Harvey Mitchell, added another gym (which has since received a further physical expansion), expanded out the band/choir/orchestra wing, moved the tennis courts across the street, added a softball field to replace a second running track on the main school side, and vastly expanded the student parking.
Even after the renovation in 1998 it was very obvious that it was cobbled together from various parts. I think even before the 1998 renovation, the cafeteria had already been moved to its present location with the large sunken "pit" area (by the way, I was wrong in the above thread, the GYM was originally where the offices are, that's partially why they have the high ceiling there).
