The Office of Capital Programs, Planning and Design presented the feasibility study for the modernization of Cora Kelly and George Mason to the School Board. The School Board confirmed swing space is the best option for these projects, and approved the purchase of the office building at 1703 N. Beauregard for this purpose.  Much like Ferdinand T. Day, the 1703 building is an office building that will be converted to a school.

Construction Update

Interior demolition work has been completed, and the contractor has been demobilized, which is the process of winding down and removing equipment from a construction site. The Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) is now focusing on interior construction and scheduling for the project. Work is expected to resume in May. The commissioning team is currently engaged in the onboarding process.
