We are now anticipating a fall 2020 construction start for the PHP wetland restoration and mitigation bank project. Our Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) has been approved subject to a few minor clarifications. We expect final approval in late January and will begin the JPA process and prepare final bidding documents. We should be in a position to detail a firm construction schedule at that time.
The energy & excitement by students & VB Schools staff at the Ground Breaking Ceremony yesterday was incredible!
“Future legislators, scientists, engineers, and architects will walk these halls, explore these beautiful grounds, learn in this sustainably-built classroom, and ultimately change the world,” said VBCPS Superintendent Dr. Aaron Spence. “Where better can students experience our city’s and our division’s unique educational opportunities than here at the Brock Center, truly a monument to environmental design and sustainability.”
When will the classroom be built?
Construction will begin in early 2020, with completion during the summer of 2020. Students will begin attending the Environmental Studies Program after Labor Day, 2020.

Construction of the 1,600 square-foot facility will begin in early 2020 and students will begin attending classes there after Labor Day, 2020.
The contractor will be installing mast arms at the intersection. There will be single lane closures on east and west bound Shore Drive. Police will stop traffic for approximately 10-15 minutes in each direction while the mast arms are lifted and installed.

Please Note – Unfortunately none of the planned meetings are being held north of Virginia Beach Blvd. SDCC has asked City Council and the Search Firm to try and add a meeting in the northern part of the City where the majority of the population lives. Stay tuned, but plan on attending one of the listed meetings just in case our request is too late.
