Project Description:
In a move that will consolidate the district's language immersion programs onto a single campus, the new school will unify the district's language instruction and create a pipeline that will allow students to continue in-depth language study at Sullivan Middle School in grades 6-8. Presently, Spanish immersion is offered at Richmond Drive Elementary and Ebinport Elementary. French immersion is offered at Rosewood Elementary. Sullivan houses the district's middle school International Baccalaureate making this an ideal location for the new language school. A committee of parents, teachers, and administrators have worked in partnership with Charlotte-based to purposefully design a facility that will reflect the teaching and learning occuring inside its walls.

Total Project Cost:
$30 million

Ceremonial Groundbreaking Ceremony:
August 31, 2017 - Watch ceremony below.

Construction Start:
March 2017

Completed:
November 2018

Project Renderings:
As we move into the construction phase, additional pictures will be added to keep you informed of the project.

This rendering shows the new language immersion school on the campus of Sullivan Middle School. The two-story campus will connect with the existing middle school.

This shows the position of the new school in relation to Sullivan Middle School and Cherry Road, which can be seen on the right side of the picture.

New parking and driveways will be added as well to be in compliance with state Department of Transportation requirements.

The track and football/soccer field at Sullivan Middle School will be replaced and relocated to the opposite side of campus to make way for the language immersion school. In the below image, the track will move from its current location to the bottom of the image where you can see the softball field. The new location will still include a softball field.
