Town of Flower Mound Grants Coram Deo Certificate of Occupancy on Gym/Auditorium

Today, CDA received the first of its occupancy permits for use of the gymnasium/auditorium at its new Flower Mound campus. Because the use of this building did not change the Town placed no additional requirements on the Academy in order to gain occupancy and has granted it 60 days to install a fire alarm system. The classroom structure is currently under renovations to meet E (educational) occupancy requirements, several of which were unanticipated. These include simple and useful things like installing an exit door directly to the outside from each classroom, upgrading the fire alarm system, changing some door swings, demising a few walls and the like. These renovations are scheduled for completion by Friday September 2. On that day the contractor, Ameritex Construction, intends to have the work inspected to speed toward a Certificate of Occupancy that will enable the CDA Flower Mound Lower School to move in at Labor Day and begin classes on September 12. Please rejoice with us in the first step toward full use of the existing buildings and pray for the contractor that is working quickly to help us start up classes.

Flower Mound Lower School Campus Update

July 22, 2005 Coram Deo Academy closed on the purchase of a handsome fifteen acre campus in Flower Mound with the intent of opening for lower school classes as soon as possible. Although it is still possible classes will begin September 7 this date now seems optimistic due to the lateness of closing and unanticipated permitting requirements. No one has done anything wrong to cause this delay. The process simply has taken longer than we hoped for it to take. The students will still receive the same education; school will just begin a little later than expected and end a little later in May than expected.
