Central Office Relocation (5th and 6th-floor Retrofit) Status: Planning/Design
This project involves fitting out the 5th and 6th floors of the office building that FTD is housed in to accommodate various ACPS departments and staff that will relocate from the central office.

Progress through Q3: A redesign and cost estimate was completed. Due to COVID-19, the reprioritization of CIP projects occurred. The majority of funding was reallocated to another project deemed essential to complete. A portion of funding remained for the project to allow for the relocation of Safety and Security and the FACE department. The remainder of the project will be funded again in an out-year budget.
- Anticipated progress through Q4: Minimum renovations completed to allow Safety and Security and FACE departments to inhabit space on the 5th and 6th floors.

July-September 2019: Phase II Begins with New Gym Design
We have begun Phase II of this project and are in design development for an elevated gymnasium. This style of gym will allow space for delivery, trash collection as well as student pick-up and drop-off underneath a new structure that connects the school and the play area on the top of the adjacent parking garage. In the second quarter, there will be a focus on a fifth and sixth floor gym renovation.
