Project Description
The project consists of the demolition of the existing library building on the north side of campus and a portable classroom building on the south side of campus, and construction of a new two-story multi-purpose building, a new one-level below-grade parking lot with 33 parking spaces below the new multi-purpose building, and reconfiguration of the surface parking lots on the existing private primary school campus. The project would also construct an addition to the existing Building 500, and all other buildings would remain as built on campus. The modifications to the campus are intended to support an increase in enrollment from 580 to 650 students.

The multi-purpose building would be approximately 34,156 square feet with a maximum height of 30 feet to the roof and 44 feet to the top of the mechanical screen and would have a total of 13 classrooms. The proposed project would utilize all electrical appliances and heating systems and not use any natural gas.
