The approximate 17-acre vacant site will accommodate a 120,000-square-foot facility designed for 1,000 students. Surrounded on three sides by public streets and bordered by single-family residences to the north, the site will include standard school amenities such as a basic sports field, playgrounds, trash and recycling enclosures, and bike racks.
Vehicular access is provided via surrounding streets, with dedicated bus and student drop-off lanes, and parking areas for teachers and visitors. Pedestrian access will be distributed along the site perimeter to accommodate students arriving from multiple directions.
Utility infrastructure is coordinated to support both domestic and fire service, with connections to existing public mains in adjacent streets. A new looped water main is anticipated to ensure sufficient fire hydrant coverage, with domestic and fire service lines connecting to the looped system.
Sanitary sewer service will tie into an existing main via a private service line, and a grease trap will be sized and located in coordination with the plumbing engineer. Stormwater management will rely on a regional detention facility, with S. A. Miro, Inc. designing on-site collection and conveyance systems to meet regulatory requirements.
The site’s significant topography, with a slope of approximately 58 feet from north to south, will require careful grading. While retaining walls are expected, this proposal includes only the layout of walls (horizontal and vertical), with structural design anticipated under a Design-Build approach by the contractor unless otherwise specified.
By providing a coordinated civil engineering framework early in the project, S. A. Miro, Inc. ensured that the Foundry Development School site would support safe access, functional utilities, and flexible infrastructure to meet both immediate and long-term needs.
