Scope Of Work

Opportunities Center is a unique mixed-use facility for Douglas County School District. The renovation was designed for the combined needs of three different user groups. Eagle Academy, an alternate high school program, offers students a different education path including smaller class sizes and personalized learning. Eagle Academy is an evening program because many students work during the day. Bridge is a transitional program for 18 to 21-year-olds offering living skills, community access skills, and pre-employment skills to students requiring specialized instruction, services, and facilities. The third user group is Early Childhood Center, a team of specialists offering developmental assessments for children from birth to five years old.

This building was an unoccupied core and shell building built in 2008 as a medical office building. It is a 27,500 SF, two-story building that needed minimal site or exterior building work. The challenges of the site included accommodating the schedules and parking requirements of each group and providing a balance of separation and connection between the programs.
