The ACE Charter School proposed to develop a new middle school campus at 625 South Sunset Avenue in San Jose on a 1.94 acre site adjacent to Cesar Chavez Elementary School in the Mayfield neighborhood. The site was a portion of surplus land owned and leased from Alum Rock Union School District (ARUSD).
The project consisted of the construction and operation of a school campus consisting of approximately 22,080 square feet of building space in 18 classrooms, an administration building and associated parking. There were plans to build a multi-purpose room in the future, contingent on a future capital campaign to commence in 2012. All of the buildings, except the future multi-purpose building, were prefabricated modular buildings.
