After expanding its charter to the Baton Rouge area, Discovery Schools partnered once again with Ochsner Clinic Foundation on the renovations of the 37-acre site previously occupied by The Runnels School. The campus is comprised of 13 buildings which include an administration building, gymnasium, auditorium and numerous classroom buildings. Included within the classroom buildings are spaces allocated to music, dance, art and sports. Phase 1 of the construction renovations included seven buildings and site improvements. Discovery Schools strategically branded the campus with school-logoed signage and its signature school colors through exterior painting of various building components. An overhaul of the existing playground area accommodated the new play structures which have allowed the incoming Pre-K through 4th grade students to enjoy this vibrant campus.
