ArtSpace: A School and a Neighbor

Thoughtful Growth and Shared Spaces

Over the past 25 years, ArtSpace has grown significantly, and at every stage we have considered how that growth impacts our neighbors. We have worked to support walkable recreation by keeping our basketball court, track, field, and playground open to the community.

Minimizing Neighborhood Impact

We also work hard to minimize negative impact on the neighborhood, especially noise and traffic. We understand that morning and afternoon carline traffic can be an inconvenience, and we take that seriously. ArtSpace works closely with traffic engineers, the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office, and our school families to reduce congestion and limit the amount of time cars are queued in the neighborhood.

Looking Ahead: New Hybrid Middle School

As we prepare to open a new hybrid middle school next fall, ArtSpace is exploring additional ways to further reduce traffic. Spark Learning Center will operate primarily as a virtual school, and we are again partnering with traffic engineers to identify opportunities to improve carline flow.
