The MAPS for Kids Trust on Tuesday approved final plans and specifications for the new John Marshall High School.
The 175,000-square-foot school, estimated to cost $19.1 million, will include 66 classrooms and a 1,500-seat gymnasium. The floor plan calls for a main building holding the gym and other common areas with four smaller buildings branching off the main building's north side.

The smaller buildings would hold classrooms, offices and storage space.

The plan also calls for a town square-style courtyard and athletic fields on the south end of the 32-acre site.

The school will be at NW 122 and Portland Avenue.

The plan includes 15 "alternate" items that will be included in the project if the budget allows. The alternate items include the lengthening of several classrooms, two tennis courts and a weight room.

Bids for the project will be opened Nov. 30. "
