Sunbeam Completes Development of Next Phase Connecting to Larger
Community Efforts

The new 92,394-square foot Sunbeam Elementary School is about to complete its final phase of development with the creation of green space and employee parking areas. The project represents a $26.6 million investment in the neighborhood, including demolition of the former school. After students and staff moved into the new building on April 2, the old 78,518-square-foot Sunbeam School was demolished so construction of the parking lot and multi-purpose field could take place where the old structure once stood. The project, which began in the summer, encountered delays due to rainy weather and complications with a Dominion Energy gas line that runs down Mount Overlook Avenue.
