As of May 2010, 19 new CLCs have been built; six more are in construction; and four are in the design stage. The district now has 2,290,000 sq. ft. of new or renovated space for a student capacity of 14,721. The cost of the project to date is $253 million. More than 130 professional services and prime contractor companies (three times that amount if subcontractors are counted) have been involved in this $800 million project. The project build-out is projected for 2015-16.
