A contract for purchase of the property at 4800 Wheaton Avenue (the “Property”),
has been entered into by Blueprint Colorado, a California public benefit corporation
and has assigned its rights as purchaser to its wholly owned entity, Blueprint 4800
Wheaton LLC, a California limited liability company (“Blueprint”). Blueprint plans to
remodel the interior of property for the benefit of and use by Northern Colorado
Academy of Arts and Knowledge, d/b/a Academy of Arts and Knowledge (“AAK”),
who will lease the Property and eventually purchase it. AAK operates a preK-5th
grade charter school, and has occupied the first floor of the building (23,912 sf),
and starting in August of 2025, it will also occupy an additional 4,790 sf of the
second floor of the building on the Property in order to expand its enrollment.
Blueprint will be remodeling the kitchen on the first floor to include a new
dishwasher, oven with ventless system, three compartment sink, grease interceptor,
prep-sink, and a handwash sink. A wall and door will be added to close off the
kitchen from the remainder of the school. The second floor renovations include the
buildout of 10 classrooms, a professional development room, storage space, and a
new hi-low drinking fountain. The existing multi-occupant restrooms will be
remodeled to meet accessibility requirements. Finally, one of the unisex restrooms
will be remodeled to meet accessibility requirements.
The only exterior alterations planned are: this summer the school will use grant
funds to install a a minor addition to the existing play area on the back side of the
building: adding a new swing set with a slide, levelling the ground for its placement,
and adding eight inches of soft ground cover under the swing set.
