The scope includes repurposing the existing structures within a budget range of five to ten million dollars, with the primary responsibility of the contractor being the conversion of the existing space into an engaging, safe, and compliant educational environment. The project timeline is approximately six months, emphasizing timely completion to meet the academic calendar. Proposals are due by December 2, 2024, and interested contractors can find additional details through the designated online portal. The contract emphasizes a comprehensive approach to adaptive reuse, ensuring the new campus supports the school's mission of providing high-quality, project-based learning experiences for students in DeKalb County.
