AS provided Applicant with two Classroom #3 measurements with and without the gate. AS measured Classroom #3 without the gate and the classroom contains a total of 2196.70 square feet, which will accommodate 62 preschool children. AS measured Classroom #3 again with the gate in place and the classroom contains a total of 1,711.05 square feet, which will accommodate 48 preschool children.
