Atlanta Public Schools has selected JE Dunn Construction for a $27.6 million project to build a new school to house the Tuskegee Airmen Global Academy. The new elementary school building will replace a 43-year-old facility, which will be preserved for another use, and will give the school greater street visibility. Features of the 107,747-square-foot, three-story replacement building, which will accommodate a full-time enrollment of 753, include a main entry/lobby space with a gallery, media center, cafeteria, gymnasium with stage, specialty classrooms, STEM and flight simulator labs, and outdoor lab/classroom space.
The project will also deliver new parking areas, playgrounds, exterior lighting and signage, landscape and hardscape areas, covered walkways to the building entries, and improved bus and carpool circulation.
Construction is scheduled to be complete fall of 2019.
Collins Cooper Carusi is the project’s architect of record.
