MARCH 2017 \ BUILDING DIALOGUE \ 33
Based on the work of the team (which included the archi-
tect, GC and school district representatives), the Far North-
east Campus No. 28 will be completed within an 18-month
schedule, representing a significant reduction in the time it
would normally take to design and construct a new school
building.
When successfully accomplished, IDP enables students to
begin a new school year in a brand new building, as op-
posed to the possibility of working in overcrowded, existing
schools, portables, or being bussed out of their neighbor-
hoods to other facilities. (Using Green Valley Ranch as an
example, new schools will mean that Denver Public Schools
will no longer have to bus more than 900 students out of
the neighborhood to attend other city schools, saving the
students time spent on a bus ride, while saving DPS addi-
tional costs for bus fuel and maintenance.) \\
ELEMENTS Green Schools
Sierra Elementary is an addition to an existing school for Jeffco Public Schools, which also is a fast-track project.
