Project Timeline
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.
