The Westwood School to Consolidate Campuses in Addison

At its April 9 meeting, the City Council approved a special use permit to allow The Westwood School to relocate and consolidate its upper and lower schools to Midway Atriums at 14295 Midway Road. This four-story, 95,304 square-foot office building is located southwest of the Midway Road and Proton Drive intersection, immediately south of Proton Drive. The school also plans to build a new 10,695-square-foot gymnasium, which will also serve as a storm shelter. Other site improvements include a student drop-off and pick-up area, perimeter security fencing and gates, and a dumpster enclosure southwest of the gym.

Founded in 1986, the Westwood School provides a Montessori and IB education for students from Preschool through High School. The current student population, which is divided between two campuses in Farmers Branch, is 289 students who will be subdivided by grade per floor at their new home. The interior will consist of classrooms, offices, indoor movement spaces, restroom facilities, and storage. The school utilizes staggered drop-off and pick-up times which will help mitigate traffic impacts.
