Avon Grove Charter School plans a new cafeteria building of about 13,000 square feet on its 21.4-acre campus in London Grove Township, Chester County. County records show the latest filing on 2025-04-08.
The school's website calls the building "The Den." It is to hold the cafeteria plus engineering and family and consumer sciences classrooms. It sits on a campus that already has a new Upper School for grades 7-12, which opened to students in January. The school's page describes work on The Den as well underway, along with a nearly finished parking lot and car line.
No township meeting records, opposition or hearing coverage specific to this building turned up. Earlier news reported a large federal USDA grant and a bond financing for the school's campus building project.
What it could mean nearby
- Student dining and technical classrooms would be added on the existing campus, not on new land.
- The school reports a new parking lot and car line, which may ease pickup traffic around the campus.
- No records found point to new homes, or to changes in utilities or open space.
Where it stands
The school's website says construction is well underway, so township and county review appears to have been completed or to be in progress. Next steps usually include final inspections and an occupancy permit before the building opens.
