The Community Education Building (CEB), to be located at 1200 N. French Street in Wilmington, Delaware, has been made possible by the generosity of Bank of America. The building, formerly known as Bracebridge IV, was built in 1997 by MBNA Corp. as part of a four building complex. The Bracebridge complex buildings are known for their architectural elegance and have a distinctive presence in Wilmington. Since it acquired MBNA in 2006, Bank of America used the building to house part of its headquarters for credit cards and other consumer banking products. On February 16, 2012, Bank of America announced that it would donate their Bracebridge IV building to the Longwood Foundation.Building on a long history of commitment to public education and nonprofits, the Longwood Foundation has established an independent entity, the Community Education Building, to receive the donation and transform it into a home for high-performing charter schools with an emphasis on providing a world class K-12 public education to Wilmington's children.By bringing together some of the best pedagogical platforms being implemented in the United States with the infrastructure and student support resources not readily available to charter schools, the Community Education Building seeks to create an environment of educational excellence for our children. This initiative is open to Delaware charter schools looking to open or grow their schools, or replicate their educational models. It is also open to national charter operators interested in transforming Delaware's public education landscape.The aim of these partnerships is not only to close the urban achievement gap we see in Wilmington and in many cities around the country, but to prepare our children to live and succeed in a global village.
