Background and Analysis:
On March 19, the City of Olympia celebrated the transfer of the Armory to the City the purposes of a Creative Campus. The City is currently in the conceptual planning stage and does not expect any renovations to be made to the building until 2024/2025.
The Olympia School District (OSD) has begun renovations on Avanti High School, just across the street from the Armory, that are projected to last through the 2022-2023 school year. OSD has requested use of three rooms in the Armory to house two counseling offices and one Spanish language classroom during the time the Avanti High School building is under renovation.
The City of Olympia has a long-standing partnership with the Olympia School District, and believes this 10-month lease to be a good public use of an otherwise vacant space during the planning phases for Armory's renovation.
