Two new City of Oaks educational facilities received building permits last week: a Wake County elementary school on Rogers Lane and private daycare center the Primrose Daycare in Brier Creek.<\/p>\n

It’s shocking that a new, likely expensive daycare with a pretentious name like Primrose is getting built in Brier Creek, but at least it makes more sense than building\u00a0such a facility\u00a0in a beloved, historic park.<\/a>\u00a0As far as I know, there are no NIMBYs in Brier Creek. I guess its hard to be nostalgic for the beloved past of a place\u00a0that didn’t really exist before the year 2000.<\/p>\n

It appears as though Primrose already has a number of locations throughout the region: two locations in Raleigh, on Hilburn and Falls of Neuse roads, plus two in Cary, one is Morrisville, another in Wake Forest and so on.<\/p>\n

Primrose’ registered trademark is “The Leader in Early Education and Care,\u00ae”<\/sup>which sort of reminds me of that scene in “Elf” when Will Ferrel’s character gets excited after discovering “The World’s Best Cup of Coffee” at a run-down diner in Manhattan.<\/p>\n

Primrose\u00a0brags on their website about creating a curriculum based around education at a time when “all-play” for children of that age was the norm.<\/p>\n

Eight years later, it began franchising that model across the country, a move I’m sure made the school’s founders quite wealthy. In 2005, they apparently set a new record by opening 24 new schools in one year. Impressive!<\/p>\n

The new location in Brier Creek will be built at 11151 Salem Glen Drive by D.W. Ward Construction Company. The 11,679 square-foot facility will cost around $1.5 million to construct, according to the permits.<\/p>\n

The site is located off TW Alexander Drive, sandwiched between the terrific Frankie’s Fun Park and the Triangle Christian Center &\u00a0in front of the single-family home-style condominium development Avera Place. I wonder if parents will be hesitant to send their children to school located so close to such a tempting after-school diversion as the Triangle Christian Center.<\/p>\n

The other new building to receive permits last week was for Wake County’s Elementary School E-40, which will be known as Rogers Lane Elementary. Not surprisingly, it will be located on a 20-acre site at 201 North Rogers Lane in East Raleigh near Anderson Point Park.<\/p>\n

Designed as a prototype school by Boomerang Architects, Rogers Lane Elementary is planned as 101,266 square foot, 780-student school with a “core to support 900.” According to the project web site, “A three story classroom wing will be built perpendicular to the main corridor which contains the core facilities.”<\/p>\n

To date, the project has come in slightly over budget.<\/p>\n

Construction, for example, was budgeted at about $17.7 million and is presently listed at $20.1 million. Public Infrastructure costs also came in about $200,000 more than anticipated, but both design and “miscellaneous contracts” have come in under projected costs.<\/p>\n

Clancy & Theys will be handling the work.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that although the permits received last week were filed under the “New Building” category, it appears as though Clancy & Theys may only be doing the sitework portion of the job at the time. It would explain why the construction cost listed on the permits is $19 million lower than the overall cost of construction for the project.<\/p>\n

It is anticipated that Rogers Lane Elementary\u00a0will open in August 2017, just in time for the 2017-2018 school year.<\/p>\n

While we don’t know what the mascot for this new school will be, we did put together a database a little while back of all existing Wake County Schools mascots.\u00a0Out of the 159 schools we looked at, 14 of them had chosen a cougar.
