Description: This site is located one block west of the corner of Adams Blvd. and Arlington Ave. The parcel is 1.779 acres in size and is bounded by an elementary school to the east, multifamily housing to the north and south and institutional and commercial uses to the west. The site has two existing stand alone buildings that are being used primarily for religious and educational purposes.
This project will provide a permanent home for two existing schools operated by the Inner City Education Foundation: Frederick Douglas Academy Middle School and Frederick Douglas Academy High School. The site capacity will be 860 students. At full enrollment the middle school will have 360 students, while the high school will have 500 students.
The school facility will be developed in time for a Fall 2008 opening. The project will consist of retrofitting the chapel building into 14 classrooms and associated offices for the middle school. The existing educational building will be augmented by the construction of seven additional classrooms, library, college center and outdoor eating pavilions. The total square footage of the renovated facilities will be approximately 60,000 square feet.

Description: This project is an adaptive re-use and, upon its completion, will be home to a 525-student charter high school campus for Green Dot Public Schools.
PCSD purchased this former furniture manufacturing facility in May 2007. The site is 2 acres and has 2 existing buildings on it – a 40,099 square foot concrete tilt up building and a 7,169 square foot butler type building. PCSD anticipates that the smaller building will serve as a lunch shelter.
The campus will have 20 standard classrooms, 1 special education classroom, 4 science classrooms, 2 multipurpose rooms, and a college counseling center. The school will also have meeting and instructional space, storage, on-site parking, and landscaping. PCSD is working with its architects to maximize the amount of outdoor green space.
While this campus is closest to both Fremont and Dorsey High Schools and many of its students will come from the communities surrounding those schools, Green Dot may also populate the campus with students who would otherwise have attended either Jefferson High School or Locke High School. The site will relieve overcrowding by increasing seat capacity, providing quality public education options for students, and raising educational achievement levels.
To the greatest extent possible, PCSD intends to incorporate green design elements into the design of the building.
The total project cost is approximately $9 million, including all furniture, fixtures and equipment. It is expected that the project will be completed and occupied in Fall 2008.
