K.19 APPROVAL OF A BG-1 PROJECT APPLICATION FOR THE
RENOVATION OF STONEWALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE: The renovation of the existing Stonewall Elementary School is listed
as priority 2c.3 on FCPS’s 2009 District Facility Plan. The Director of Facility Design and Construction has
drafted a preliminary cost estimate for the renovation of the existing building and the construction of a
small addition, yielding a final project of approximately 77,708 SF to serve 775 students. The program is
consistent with other recent FCPS elementary school projects. Project cost estimates are based on the
most recent construction bids and include: design and financing fees; furnishings; surveys; and other
miscellaneous costs. The project design must begin now in order to meet an expected completion date of
late 2013. The Board approved Tate Hill Jacobs Architects as the design consultant for this project at its
February 28, 2011 meeting.
