The development of this site includes construction of a two-story art education facility, single story catering structure(s), a guardhouse, associated parking and driveway areas and courtyards with various landscape features. The facility is situated in the central portions of the site. Additionally, there is an Auto Court and Service Court on the east and west sides of the art education building.
