Little Rock office furniture shop reborn as Arkansas Virtual Academy's new home

Head of School Amy Johnson uses "unique," "funky" and "fluid" to describe the expansive new headquarters for the Arkansas Virtual Academy in downtown Little Rock.

Johnson also has labels -- some unconventional -- for the different spaces in what used to be the Today's Office furniture store at 717 W. Seventh St. Those spaces include the testing room with the angled wall and windows, the EAST Lab space, a long room with theater seating for 75, the "fun room" and "the not-so-scary-warehouse room."

"We fell in love with this building when we first toured it because it has a lot of unique characteristics," said Johnson who is in her fifth year as chief executive of the school that now serves -- mostly online -- about 4,100 kindergarten through 12th-grade students from all 75 of the state's counties.
