After meeting with Frisco Town Council last year, representatives from The Peak School met with council again during a work session June 22 to discuss the possibility of moving its operations.
The Peak School wishes to leave its old building at 40 W. Main St. and lease land on the Peninsula Recreation Area’s boneyard to relocate and expand its facility and offerings.
There, the school hopes it will transform from a sixth through 12th grade school to a pre-K-12 school. The Peak School also would be able to take advantage of the recreation area and boost its outdoor education. Estimated to be 20,000 square feet, the proposed building would also house community spaces available for the town of Frisco or area nonprofits in addition to public restrooms and lockers.
Aspen City Council on Tuesday approved three contracts worth more than $1 million in preparation of the final build out of Burlingame Ranch, a city-developed, deed-restricted subdivision across from Buttermilk Ski Area.
The contracts approved during council’s regular meeting are amendments to existing ones that carry forward and add additional services provided by Denver-based 359 Design as the architect for the project.
The entire project, with land and historical costs, is budgeted at just over $64 million and will provide 79 modular units that will be a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units.
Council originally signed 359 Design onto the project in June 2019, which began its work with community outreach schematic design.
