NOTE: The SDA, in cooperation with the Department of Education, conducted a review of all projects previously in the 2008 Capital Plan that were not yet in construction. These projects were closely evaluated using criteria such as educational need, cost efficiency and potential for design standardization. The 2011 Capital Program was reviewed and approved by the SDA Board of Directors on March 2, 2011. The SDA will continue to have ongoing conversations with the districts so that their projects may be able to advance in subsequent years. The proposed project is a 39,130-square-foot Early Childhood Center with a target student capacity of 294 pre-kindergarten to kindergarten students. The school site is located across North Warren Street from the Trenton Battle Monument, which was itself once a battleground during the Revolutionary War. The new building will be a one-story masonry structure and contain 20 classrooms, a multi-purpose room, media center, small group instruction room along with supplemental administrative area. Construction also includes an outdoor play area, drop off area for students and a 44 car parking lot. |
