Progress continues to be made in finding a permanent home for the Dayton Regional STEM School. We are currently pursuing an existing facility off of Woodman Drive, South of 35 and adjacent to the Miami Valley Research Park. This existing facility contains about 120,000 square feet, more than enough to accommodate our growth to a 600 student school. The facility also has a lot of flexibility inside to design a school the way we want, and will cost the school less than half as much as building a brand new facility. This location is about 5 miles from Wright Patterson Air Force Base and Wright State University. With Research Park so close, there are also new resources that may available for partnering, job shadowing, internships, etc.
There are still many details still to be worked out. The process for acquiring the facility and renovating it is developing and has many complexities and unknowns, but things are looking more promising. I will try to keep you updated, and hope to make a more official announcement within the next two months.
