Construction on the new Ardmore Elementary is underway. You can follow along as project manager Kyle McLeod posts important milestones in the construction at www.twitter.com/ardmoreproject
Once demolished, the old school will be replaced with a new 68,000 SF structure which will also house a new Early Childcare Complex (ECC). The new school will feature ~1000 SF classrooms, the district standard for space utilization along with a gym/multi-purpose room that will allow PE and other activities such as lunch and assemblies to take place simultaneously.
Classrooms and multi-purpose spaces will have projectors, interactive whiteboards (SMART Boards) and integrated sound reinforcement systems. Full building wireless network access will enable the use of mobile laptop labs rather than a dedicated computer lab.
Timetable: Construction activities will commence in July of 2009 and complete by August 2010 in time for the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year.
