This site is programmed for both an Elementary and a Middle School. The Elementary School is within the Phase I work and is scheduled to open for the 2022 - 2023 school year. At this time, the middle school is not in the 7 year building forecast.
The design team worked closely with WCPSS planning and design. During this process, several priorities were identified as important to the project:
Create the opportunity for a campus identity where the two schools can relate to one another.
Provide shared open space between the Elementary School and the future Middle School
Maintain an entrance for service vehicles to the site which doesn’t require navigation of the entire site
Separate drop-off points for carpool and buses
Create a visible and identifiable presence and entry at the road
Provide the opportunity to have as many classrooms as possible at the level of finished grade
The Phase 1 build-out includes a 736 -student capacity Elementary School. Support spaces include play areas, outdoor learning areas, and associated parking. Sidewalks will be provided for neighborhood access.
