ATLANTIC CITY — The Atlantic City Public Schools district has broken ground on a $27.2 million administration building at New Jersey and Arctic avenues, according to an announcement posted Wednesday on the city of Atlantic City's website.

The three-story building will bring the district's main operations together in one place and give the Board of Education a dedicated room for its meetings, the announcement said.

The groundbreaking follows $34 million in upgrades completed during the summer across all 11 of the district's public schools, according to the announcement. The work was tailored to each building, it said, and included renovated classrooms, restrooms and gymnasiums, new heating and air-conditioning systems, new roofs and, at some schools, new e-gaming facilities.

The announcement described the projects as part of an effort to create modern, welcoming spaces for students, teachers and the community.

The announcement did not say when the administration building is expected to be finished or how the projects are being paid for.
