Capital Preparatory Magnet School

The Capital Preparatory Magnet School consists of grades 6 through 12 and is a year-round college preparatory school. Downes was selected as the Construction Manager for this accelerated multi-phased project. Renovations to the existing school facility included complete new HVAC, electrical and life safety systems, extensive structural repairs, conversion of the old auditorium into the new media center, and renovation of the original classrooms into new science rooms, administrative offices and classrooms. 

Renovations also involved new windows and a complete restoration/re-pointing of the entire masonry facade. The new construction involved a gymnasium, locker rooms, connecting lobby and exterior improvements including a new athletic practice field. Capital Preparatory Magnet school was designed for the equivalency of LEED Silver Certification.
