Document Description
The Proposed Project would renovate and modernize the existing Franklin Elementary School campus to develop new and updated facilities that would support project-based learning and provide learning opportunities that are flexible, adaptable, and with access to technology and resources in real time. At full buildout, the Proposed Project would increase the campus building area by approximately 29,286 (gross) square feet (from 63,002 square feet to 92,288 square feet). Redevelopment and modernization of Franklin Elementary School would consist of removing and demolishing seven permanent buildings, two modulars, and seven portable buildings; construct seven new buildings; and renovate one building and outdoor areas on the existing school campus and satellite facility. All entries to the school would be gated and/or secured. The District intends to proceed with design and engineering of the first phase of funded activities, and the later three phases would occur at the District’s discretion when funding becomes available. Maximum height of the renovated existing and new buildings would not exceed 32 feet. Implementation of the Proposed Project would not increase the capacity of the school and would not change the attendance boundaries.
