Chapel Hill Construction Begins!
Phase II of Chapel Hill Construction
Thank you, voters!
Thanks to the confident vote of our community, Chapel Hill will undergo another round of construction beginning December 21st. Phase II construction includes an addition onto the front of our building and significant renovations throughout the interior of the school. See below for more details!
Over Winter Break, the construction crew will begin demoing the front canopy, sidewalks and parking lot to prepare for the addition on the front of our school. Our front entrance will be replaced with a modernized design and updated security features.
This is a rendering of the updated front lobby students, staff, and families will experience when first entering our school.
To the left of the lobby will be an entrance to the new front office reception area. This is where families and guests will be greeted by our front office staff and sign-in before gaining access to the rest of the school. Behind the reception area, there will be an updated health room and administrative offices.
Beyond the lobby, we will have an updated foyer area and collaborative spaces. Our current front office will be renovated into an open flex space for students, student groups, and classes to gather and collaborate. The main hallways extending off from the foyer will continue to lead to the cafeteria and classrooms.
On the east side of the new front addition, there will be 6 new classrooms added. These new classrooms will help us better accommodate the growth in our student enrollment. One of those classrooms will be a new art room, as pictured above, and will face the front entrance of the school. The other 5 classrooms will be for special programming - ELL, Special Education, and Reading Support. By pulling our special programs to the front of the building, we'll be able to reorganize some of our Kdg-5th grade classrooms so they are closer together.
