The site area of the demolished buildings was redeveloped to provide landscaped areas, plazas and parking.

The new 3-story building houses 25 general classrooms, nine science classrooms, six computer labs, a therapeutic learning center, a library, and administration and guidance centers. 85,700 square feet of instructional space was replaced, and 9,500 square feet of new space was added.
