With this purchase, Amana Academy has joined a handful of chartered public schools capable of building or purchasing their own facilities.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to purchasing the 10.66-acre site, the school intends to use the proceeds from the bonds to renovate 18,000 square feet of the plaza for new middle school classrooms and labs in time for the new school year. Evergreen Construction, which Fulton County Schools used to build Cambridge High School, was chosen by Amana to complete the middle school renovation
