Newtown Elementary
Client: Virginia Beach City Public Schools

92,000 sf :: $14.5 million

Virginia Beach City Public Schools has been a continual
client of VIA design architects, pc since 1997. We have
designed and built over $63,850,000 of facility modernizations,
additions, renovations and new construction.Our most recent
commission was for the master planning and design of a
Tri-School campus on a 54 acre site. This site originally had
2-1950’s K-5 schools in desparate need of modernization or
replacement. The master planning and programming process
proved the need for (3) schools and a new road made to
program each building for only 2-grade levels each, so K-1,
2-3 + 4-5 buildings were planned. This plan called for
$48,000,000 of construction. Available construction funding
of $32,000,000 allowed the construction of 2 new 92,000SF
facilities, A new road and the re-programming of one of the
existing schools while the other existing school was
demolished.As with most educational projects the
impimentation plan was heavly phase to allow occupancy
through the entire process.
