Chicora Elementary SchoolNorth Charleston, South Carolina |

The selected site involved the close coordination of the Charleston County School District and the City of North Charleston since the City acquired the property and exchanged the new site with the district for the original school site to be used by the City for future use. This 74,000 sq. ft. elementary "communications" themed school was completed in 2015.
