Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy
Architect(s): Phase I - Jon J. Jannotta Architects & Planners, Inc.
Phase II – Carpenter Sellers Associates
Address: 1201 W. Lake Mead Blvd.
Year: 2001

This multi-phased project will eventually encompass 7.8 acres and provide facilities for students from grades K-12. Currently grades 3-6 attend this charter school, which is located in a socio-economically challenged area of town. The first phase of the project features a 30,000 square-foot building with multiple classrooms, a library, and administrative offices. The computer classroom area and library feature clerestory windows to allow natural light into the space. The selected building materials (CMU, steel, and storefront glazing) helped keep the cost of the school reasonable.

The second construction phase features a two story, 61,000 sf multi-use building, housing the middle school, cafeteria/multipurpose room, music classrooms, storage and administration offices. The third phase will be completed by Carpenter Sellers Associates.
