Historic Taft Middle School, built in 1930 at May and NW 23rd, is getting an $8 mil renovation which includes 6,000 SF of new classroom space. The school will be able to accommodate 700 students after the renovations are complete.
NW Classen High, located off North May and NW 27th, was built in 1952 and serves students that live in the historic districts NW of downtown. As a part of MAPS for Kids, the school is receiving a major $16 mil complete renovation. Right now the project is still in the community discussion phase.
Classen SAS, built in 1919 and located at Emerson and NW 19th (right off Classen Blvd), is another MAPS for Kids high school that's getting a significant $7 mil facelift as a part of the $700 mil inner city schools initiative. Renovation's haven't started but in July 2008 the architect was notified to begin on schematic designs. The school will just be renovated and not rebuilt.
There will eventually be hundreds of items here. Far too many to find what fancies you by scrolling. I recommend you make use of the labels located on the right side of the page. For instance, mixed-use projects will have the label 'mixed-use' while projects in Bricktown would have the label 'Bricktown' and so on. Or you may find a specific project by clicking on its label, for instance, Utica Place could be found quickly by looking through the labels and finding 'Utica Place'. Here's to wishing you get the most out of this resource!
