With that in mind Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS) hired HBA Architecture & Interior Design and subcontractor Fielding Nair International to complete a high school facilities planning study. This study coincided with the adoption of Virginia's Profile of a Graduate that gave new guidance to school divisions on desired student outcomes. Ultimately, ACPS studied our high schools as a 4,000-student high school system versus three distinct and separate comprehensive high schools recognizing that all students should have the opportunity to participate in any academic program offered in the county. Based on this, the consultant's recommendation at the conclusion of the process was to use a "village" or "center" model to alleviate capacity issues, and to modernize existing high school spaces to meet the following criteria. • Accessible to All (Equity) • Student -Designed • Interdisciplinary • Community Oriented • Fostering Life/Career & Citizen Success • Mentored • Authentic • Transparent Building off the success of Center I, High School Center II will be a STEM focused center, housing both the Math, Engineering, and Science Academy (MESA) and the Health, Medical, and Sciences Academy (HMSA) currently located at Albemarle High School and Monticello High School respectively. Relocating these programs from their current high schools allow us to make both programs more easily available to all ACPS students and to create an innovative model that provides both capacity and instructional benefits. High School Center II will be a resource for the whole Division, strategically placed to provide access to specialized programming, and act as an interface between the school, community, and professional organizations that provide out -of -building learning experiences that are recommended in the Virginia Profile of a Graduate to provide meaningful work -based experiences to all our graduating students. The current goal is to open Center II in August 2022. L= portPion Impacts High School Center II is planned to be 6o,000 SF and serve 400 students per day. Center II is expected to serve ioth —12th graders from Albemarle High, Monticello High, and Western Albemarle High. Table 1 shows the estimated modes of travel when Center II is fully occupied.

Opportunities for community engagement in planning a high school center on this site include: • 5th & Avon Community Advisory Committee Meeting and Planning Commission Public Hearing resulting from the compliance review with the Comprehensive Plan; • Community outreach meeting to gain stakeholder input on the process hosted by ACPS; and • Engagement with University of Virginia students working on their Planning Practicum project to give them experience and gain their insight on this real community -based project. ACPS understands the Board's desire to incorporate elements of a Small Area PIan. The community input processes and design team will focus on: Pedestrian and bike connectivity Logical development as to not impede a future roadway connection to other parcels ACPS feels that these opportunities for input will honor the Comprehensive Plan's intent for a collaborative community process. 3 BuildiM Plan and Gra hic Figure i shows the conceptual layout for the High School Center II. The design will incorporate the Comprehensive Plan's Neighborhood Model Design Guidance, and the following section highlights the unique ways the High School Center II will contribute to the Neighborhood Model. • Pedestrian Orientation The design will connect to existing sidewalks and consider possible connections to adjacent parcels for community connectivity. • Mixture of Uses With the recent approval of the Galaxie Farm residential development, the High School Center II adds to the mixture of uses for the Mill Creek area. The High School Center II will provide an interface between the school, community, and professional organizations that provide out -of -building learning experiences, and this location provides connectivity to many community partners as shown in Figure a. As the High School Center II estimates developing approximately 5 acres of TMP gi-ii, and --16.7 acres remain on County -owned TMPs gi-o8B and gi-io, ample opportunities existfor future mixed -use developments on these adjacent parcels. ■ Interconnected Street and Transportation Networks The design and placement of the building will not impede future interconnected street plans to the County's adjacentparcels (Parcels ogsoo-oo-oo-mono and o9xoo-oo-oo- oo8ft. • Multi -modal Transportation Opportunities Transit options to High School Center II will include walking, biking, driving and riding buses. The design will include bike racks and bike lane and sidewalk connectivity. • Parks, Recreational Amenities, and Open Space Outdoor learning areas and open spaces will be part of the High School Center II design. • Respecting Terrain and Careful Grading The design intent is to minimize tree removal and grading. Figure i highlights the desire to leave a large portion of the parcel as undeveloped natural area. 4 Figure 1: High School Center II Site Concept HIGH SCHOOL CENTER II FOUNDERS PLACE SITE CONCEIT 2a19A 2., TINN ANS Figure 2: High School Center II Proximity Map Center 2 Site - Mont*icell Proximity to Various Points -of -Interest , UVA Bus Stop - Rte 4 Apex Clean Energy UVA Medical Center Downtown Mall CFA Institute University of Virginia WorldStrides Downtown Mall Bus Stop - Rte 6 Fontaine Research Park State Farm � Martha Jefferson Hospital Forestry Department'.
