Arlington Tech Expansion

• Arlington Tech Expansion for 250 high school seats to be completed by start of school

September 2021 for a maximum total project cost of $18,750,000, bringing the total capacity of Arlington Tech to 600 seats.

• In summer 2017, 2018, and 2019 staff completed projects to accommodate the growing

enrollment of Arlington Tech.

• Construction to prepare for Arlington Tech’s enrollment for SY 2020-21 will occur this summer

and include: (1) renovating a portion of the existing school to add a new science lab and right- size several existing classrooms and (2) installing relocatable classrooms on the existing parking lot.

• COVID-19 disrupted plans to consolidate the Columbia Pike Branch Library on the first floor to

provide shared APS/County classrooms on the second floor. Staff recommend proceeding with construction as soon as reasonable in coordination with pandemic recovery.
