Located in the south central part of Cherry Creek School District, the 20-acre Special Programs Center was master planned for three buildings – the Student Achievement Resource Center (SARC), the Nutrition Services Building, and an Alternative Middle/High School (Cherry Creek PREP). In addition to master planning the site, OZ designed both SARC and PREP over a five year period.
The mixed use site was developed with close coordination with Arapahoe County, as the roads adjacent to the site were being designed in conjunction with the master planning activities. The site also contains a regional detention pond that the OZ team designed, with input from the local water district, as part of its planning efforts.
