Building for the Future - Current Construction Projects

HCPS works to ensure that students in their Henrico County communities have well-maintained, first-class facilities for generations to come. This is largely due to prudent planning and a robust Capital Improvement Plan. 

There are always ongoing construction projects with plans in place for the next 10 years to keep us on pace with the changing needs of our students and community.

Current projects include rebuilding and expanding the Campus of Virginia Randolph (completed in 2026); rebuilding Jackson Davis, Jacob Adams and R.C. Longan elementary schools (opening in 2026-2027 school year) and Quioccasin Middle School (anticipated completion in 2027). A new auditorium at Tuckahoe Middle School is also underway.

The school board recently broke ground for the first-of-its-kind Environmental Education Living Building at Wilton Farm, scheduled to come online in late 2026. This 15,000 square-foot building on the James River will be the world’s first K-12 Living Building Challenge certified building, making it among the most sustainable school buildings on the planet.

Over the last six years, major capital projects include the replacement of J.R. Tucker and Highland Springs high schools, the expansion of Elizabeth Holladay Elementary School, and a new telehealth clinic at Glen Lea Elementary School. In 2022, “The Oak,” the school division’s first full-service community school hub at the former Highland Springs High School, was created, representing a major step in a new strategy to connect students and families with community services. Two new community hubs will open as part of the Virginia Randolph and Quioccasin projects.

Capital Improvement Plans

Every year, Henrico County Public Schools administrators present a Capital Improvement Plan, or CIP, for School Board approval. Capital improvements are projects that consist of permanent upgrades to a school, such as heating and air conditioning equipment, security enhancements, bathroom renovations, kitchen appliances, windows, lighting, flooring and similar improvements. A CIP identifies schools, projects and approximate costs during a given fiscal year. In addition to school improvements, a CIP may also include complete school renovations if warranted by increases in student population. CIPs are reviewed annually and may change from year to year based on a number of factors, such as Henrico School Board and Board of Supervisors approval, economic conditions and enrollment numbers. CIPs also include proposals for future years; these projects are dependent on identifying funding sources.
