Document Description
The District is proposing a complete reconstruction of the campus. The Administration Building is 7,120 square feet and would be reduced to 6,302 square feet. The Multipurpose Room Building would be relocated from the northeastern portion of the site to the western portion of the site, and would increase from 9,892 square feet to 15,617 square feet. The Classroom Buildings would remain in the northern and eastern portions of the site, and the square footages would increase from 38,322 square feet to 48,752 square feet. The Flex 300 Building would be a new building and would be 3,379 square feet. The Old Schoolhouse (currently includes classrooms) would include a full structural retrofit with major interior and limited exterior upgrades, and would be a library/media center. The number classrooms would decrease from 33 to 30 but the number of students, staff, and teachers would remain unchanged. The number of driveways from 5 to 3. The parking lot off of North Vulcan Avenue would be expanded. The three parking lots and drop-off/pick-up zone would remain. Construction is anticipated to start in June 2026 and end in August 2027. During construction, students would be temporarily relocated to Park Dale Lane Elementary School and El Camino Creek Elementary School during the 2026-2027 school year. The District would arrange transportation between the project site and the temporary campuses while construction is underway. Additionally, the Leucadia Farmers Market would move to Oak Crest Middle School during construction and would move back to the project site once construction is completed.
