The Las Vegas Academy’s campus, now known as Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, has been around since 1931 and holds a lot of history in its buildings. This makes it the most aged campus in all of Clark County. Unfortunately, a 90 year campus does not last forever. This article is dedicated to showing the buildings before.
CCSD has selected TSK Architects to create a plan to make LVA the ideal academy for its arts.
“The work will be done in three phases, each about two and a half to three years long. The first phase, which is in the design stage, will focus on a parking garage and new gym,” says Hillary Davis from the Las Vegas Sun. Throughout nine years, the campus will see a modernized gymnasium, a parking garage that holds 542 spaces, an admin building, a student union with classrooms and lunchrooms, more spaces for majors such as dance, theater, and music, and a new central plant to improve heaters and air conditioning. Main, Frazier and the gym will be renovated.
The buildings being removed are Knapp, a part of the gym, the locker rooms, the portables, the visual arts, and music conservatories, the black box theater, a part of vocational, the cafeteria, and the post building. During this process, the tennis court will hold portables, Davis says.
