APS files permits to build North Atlanta High School’s new campus.
Atlanta Public Schools (APS) is moving forward with its plan to build a new high school on Northside Drive.
APS purchased a 56-acre property, at 4111 Northside Parkway, for the construction of North Atlanta High school’s new campus, according to Atlanta Public School’s website. North Atlanta High School is located about 3.6 miles from its new location.
Atlanta Public Schools filed several permits with City of Atlanta Thursday to develop land where the school will be located and to build an addition to an existing structure at the site, formerly used as IBM’s Atlanta operations.
Construction on the 383,000-square-foot school will cost an estimated $74 million, according to one permit filed Thursday.
The current North Atlanta campus completed a $30 million renovation last spring, according to APS’s website. That campus is slated to become a middle school once the new high school construction is complete.
North Atlanta High School’s first classes at the new campus are scheduled to begin August 2013.
