THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Construction of a new elementary school, including design, building, and associated infrastructure.
The project is currently in the schematic design phase. The site is on Ridge Road. The design includes 35 K-5 classrooms, 6 pre-K and Head Start classrooms, and 2 EC classrooms. The building will be approximately 86,000 square feet for the first floor and 23,000 square feet for the second floor. Safety features include a tucked-back main entrance and secure vestibule. Durable materials like brick, block, and potentially stone and metal roofing are being considered. The project is currently on budget but slightly behind schedule due to rain.
