This new facility will serve 540 students in grades K through 8.  The school will have 22 teachers, 9 support staff, 10 Special Education staff, and 10 administrators in 2021-22, with an ultimate staff count of 53.

The multi-purpose room will be used primarily as the cafeteria, before and after-school care, morning motivation, the all-school daily kick off, and community celebration, the weekly all-school closeout ceremony on Fridays. When lunch is not being held, the multi-purpose room may also be used for an indoor physical education class for elementary students such as karate,  yoga, aerobics, etc.

There are currently two buildings on the site. UBG will remodel two stories plus a basement approximately 64,788 square foot building on the western portion of the site.  The 54,000 SF two-story building on the eastern portion of the site will be demolished to allow for current playground and similar uses.
