Background:
|
Since February 2016, staff has been engaged in a search for properties that can accommodate the increased enrollment of students in the school division. After looking at several available properties and applying our criteria of needed square footage, site conditions and access for West End families, staff pursued the 1701/1705 N. Beauregard Street location.
The plan currently under review is to purchase and retrofit the office building at 1701 N. Beauregard, making substantial changes to the inside to convert it into space suitable for approximately 650 elementary students. The purchase would include the parking garage adjacent to the building, part of which would be converted into outdoor space for students at the school.
ACPS staff is confident that this model is an efficient and effective way to create new learning spaces and help reduce capacity issues. The anticipated cost of purchasing the land and retrofitting the building will be significantly lower than long-term leasing of the building, or purchasing land and constructing a new school. This school is needed to help resolve capacity issues on the West End. |
