New Austin Elementary School will be constructed on space currently used by Dunwoody Senior Baseball.
The design of the school is the current “DeKalb Standard design” built is several other locations whereby the capacity of the school will be 900 students.
The South entrance (currently DSB) will be for buses only and will facilitate easy drop off, that same bus lane will continue to the back where school field trip buses can drop children at the Dunwoody Nature Center and then have an easy turn around.
The North entrance (currently DNC) will be the main entrance to the school and it will be shared by Dunwoody Nature Center as they have different peak times. Vehicle stacking space of this main driveway should facilitate taking cars off Roberts for drop off.
The parking at the Nature Center is improved and there will now be parking for special events at that facility.
Transportation improvements may be needed on Roberts due to change (traffic light configuration changes?)
Buffering between new Austin and street to South will be assured (as was done in the construction of DES).
