Fort Worth ISD’s Van Zandt-Guinn Elementary School is located on a 4.7-acre site near downtown Fort Worth. The educational program of the new school includes core classrooms for grade levels PreK-5, special education spaces and shared academic spaces including science, music, and art. The facility also incorporates a state of the art media center, cafeteria and a multi-purpose gymnasium / auditorium.
The new school will replace the existing facility built in the late 1970’s that is one of two underground schools within Fort Worth ISD. The underground facility has multiple water infiltration issues and allows almost no natural daylight into the learning environments.
