PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Emerald Elementary School building will be replaced. When district staff assessed the needs of the building, it was determined that it makes more financial sense to replace the building rather than make significant investments in repairs and maintenance. 

New construction would provide the opportunity to create innovative, 21st Century learning spaces that support modern curriculum delivery in a building that is safe, comfortable and energy efficient. Using BVSD's green building principles as a guide, the school can be built green from the ground up.

The building would be replaced with one of similar size to serve the current enrollment of Emerald. The Emerald community would have the opportunity to participate in the design of the new building through the Design Advisory Team (DAT). The team would include representatives from Emerald staff, parents and neighbors who will work with the architect to develop the design. The construction timeline and plans for housing students during construction would be developed during the design process.
