Building Elevation

Upon occupancy of the building, Gateway Academy intends to issue tax-exempt bonds to pay for the acquisition of the building from Gateway Project Development LLC. By owning the building, Gateway Academy will save on property taxes and lease increases.

The Academy will have a maximum capacity of 675 students K - 8. The Utah building code for public school buildings suggests there be 74 square feet per student. Anticipating a capacity of 675 students and based on 74 square feet per student, our building should be at least 49,950 square feet. Our contract is for a building of 52,000 square feet, designed specifically to enhance our educational philosophy.

Our elementary building will have one multi-use gymnasium. Please reference the Library section of the site for additional details on our planned library facilities. We have referenced the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to assure that the facility will meet all requirements set forth therein. Parking will accommodate each member of the school's staff and any visitors. We will follow all ADA requirements for the number of handicapped parking spaces.

There will be areas designated on the property for fields, outdoor play, and physical education, including separations based on the grade levels of the students.
