Cool Spring Annex-Judy Hoyer

Project Overview

The Cool Spring Annex–Judy Hoyer project is a multi-phase school modernization and expansion effort currently in progress. Phase I includes the construction of a new three-story, energy-efficient school building in front of the existing Cool Spring Elementary School, designed to serve 900 students and house the Judy Center. Once complete, Phase II will begin with the demolition of the existing school and construction of a new facility that will include a therapy pool, central offices for ESOL, International Admissions and Enrollment, Bilingual and Translation Services, and a Family Support Center. Phase III will complete the project with the relocation of staff into the new administrative spaces, demolition of the old convent building, and final site improvements such as enhanced access and new playfields.
