2. Notice of Scoping for Great Path Academy Magnet School and 500 New Parking Spaces at Manchester Community College (MCC)

Municipality: Manchester

Address of Project Location: 161 Hillstown Road (Great Path), Manchester, Connecticut 06045

Description of Projects: The Board of Trustees of Community-Technical Colleges (BOTCTC) is proposing the following two separate projects to be covered under one Environmental Impact Evaluation:

1) Construction of a 74,500 gross square foot (approx.) Great Path Academy magnet school at MCC. The existing Great Path Academy is an inter-district magnet school housed in the Lowe Building of MCC and is operating under the model of middle college high schools. The existing number of students is 83; however, the construction of the magnet school would accommodate approximately 350 students. As a result of the magnet school construction, this project includes replacement parking for MCC and approximately 108 new parking spaces for the Academy.

2) BOTCTC and MCC anticipate the need for approximately 500 new parking spaces within the MCC campus to accommodate existing and future MCC student enrollment.
