The school is located on a site originally
master-planned to be shared with Foothills Elementary School. The new
school shares a common food service core and a bus and service drive with
the elementary school, while maintaining a separate auto drive and play
area. The elementary school was converted from a K-5 grade structure to
a K-4 structure when the intermediate school opened in the Fall of 2000. A central core area includes the library,
dining space, and a gymnasium to seat 900 students. The academic spaces
consist of 49 classrooms, including laboratories for music, art, science,
and technology. A Little Theater to seat 372 students is provided as well. The Tennessee School Boards Association (TSBA)
has honored the school as the winner of its Elementary School Division's
2002 School of the Year Award in Architectural Design.
