Campus managed all aspects of the project development including property acquisition, design, entitlement, and construction. With the ultimate goal of establishing a grade 7-12 school, the school opened with grades 7 and 8 under the existing conditional use permit (CUP). Opening the school under the existing use permit allowed us to develop the base of support needed to obtain a change to the use permit to add a full high school to the campus. Campus received unanimous approval from the planning commission and city council.
The construction for operations of the full school was completed after receiving approval for the full school and took 10 months to complete. The 20,000 square foot Chung Mei Home for Boys was completely renovated including the addition of an elevator inside of the five-level historic building and bringing the building up to current structural code for schools.
