Document Description
The proposed project would include the relocation of six portable classrooms that are currently on the project site, and the addition of three new portable classrooms. The nine portable classrooms would be on the northern portion of the campus within the northwestern portion of the grass playfield, and would serve as interim housing for two years, beginning in approximately Summer 2026. All portable classrooms would be removed from the campus by approximately August 2028, when construction of the proposed project is complete. The proposed project also includes the construction a new, two-story, 21,000-square-foot classroom building on the south side of the campus, adjacent to Paramount. The new classroom building would include 13 permanent classrooms and several support areas. The new classroom building would be composed of a 10,267-square-foot first floor, that would include six classrooms, a staff workroom, student and staff restrooms, a collaboration area, an elevator, machine room, custodians’ room, and electrical data room. Additionally, the 10,466-squar-foot second floor would include seven classrooms, including a science room, science work space and art/elective room, a collaboration area, elevator, storage rooms, mechanical rooms, and custodians’ room.
