SCC, Egg Harbor Township District Break Ground
For Two New 500-Student Elementary Schools

Egg Harbor Twp., NJ (March 27, 2006) - Students, parents, teachers and residents joined officials of the New Jersey Schools Construction Corporation (SCC) and Egg Harbor Township School District at a groundbreaking ceremony today for two 21st century facilities - Davenport Elementary School #2 and Slaybaugh Elementary School #3. These schools will provide quality resources to serve the educational needs of 1,000 students from pre-kindergarten through first grade and meet demands of increasing enrollment in this growing Atlantic County community.

The new schools are being built on district-owned land next to an existing elementary school, creating an educational campus on Spruce Avenue. Each school will accommodate 500 students and include 25 classrooms, art/music room, computer lab, library-media center, a combination cafeteria/gym/auditorium and administrative offices. Slaybaugh will include a small extension wing for the township school board offices.

SCC is managing the construction of the schools and funding a percentage of the construction costs. Design Collaborative, Architects & Planners is the architectural firm for the school projects, which are being built by Tamburro Bros. Construction Co.
