"BASIS Independent Schools has floated a preliminary proposal for an adaptive reuse of a vacant three-story office building at 525 Race St. in San Jose's Sunol-Midtown district. The new BASIS high school could accommodate up to 800 students, according to the project plans. The educational activities would occur within the existing building, which totals 72,700 square feet."
"Interior tenant improvements will include building classrooms, a theater, science labs, a pottery and kiln room, administrative space, and other miscellaneous improvements related to traditional school uses. Two outdoor play areas are also planned for the high school."
"The property is owned by an affiliate of Avenues: The World School, which at one point had planned a large campus on the Race Street property. In 2020, Avenues: The World School received approval from the city of San Jose to develop a big school campus at the site. Avenues, however, never began construction, and the San Jose-approved entitlement expired."
