The master plan is the District’s blueprint that allows for long term planning facilities in relation to its student housing needs. It outlines the district’s construction priorities and funding mechanisms to address overcrowding problems and to predict where additional classroom space is needed to support its instructional and operational goals.


 

Project Description

With $36 million in state funding received for other projects in January 2011, Measure G funding has been reallocated to complete the campus build-out (Increment 2) of Grand Terrace High School. This scope of work consists of pool, stadium, tennis courts, student services classroom building, and additional parking. It will take 12 months to complete and will dovetail with the completion of the main campus (Increment 1) in April 2012. Suffolk Roel is the general contractor with Vanir Construction Management administering the contract.

GRAND TERRACE HIGH SCHOOL – INCREMENT 1

Wow! Driving by the campus, passersby can see the gymnasium and classroom building stair towers rising above the fence line. Exterior building block walls are substantially complete with exterior architectural steel finishes being attached to the top of the walls. Although not visible to passersby, interior work throughout the campus continues and is varying stages of completion depending on the building. Interior work of classrooms consists of drywall, utility ductwork, wiring and piping, and casework (cabinets). Hardscaping and landscaping have started.

BLOOMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL

Math and Science Buildings

As summer ends, so is the completion of the math and science buildings at Bloomington High School. Desks, beakers and slide rulers have been ordered and will be delivered in September in anticipation of student occupancy in October. Math and science students will continue to hold classes in the temporary modular classrooms until then. Teachers plan to move into their new classrooms during weekends to minimize classroom disruptions. A ceremony to celebrate the opening of the new building and dedicate it in memory of math and science teacher , Mr. Claude “Bud” Johnston , is being planned for sometime later this school year.

JOE BACA MIDDLE SCHOOL

It has been almost 12 months since the ground breaking ceremony was held last October 2010. Construction is in full swing for all the administration and classroom buildings. On any given day, construction workers are pouring concrete decking, erecting and welding structural steel, and fireproofing and priming steel on various buildings throughout the site. Interior framing, electrical, plumbing and ductwork have started as well. Please click here to view current progress photos.

COLTON HIGH SCHOOL

Math and Science Buildings

While trying to move into the future with the state of the art math and science classrooms, the past is literally being unearthed at Colton High School over the last several months. Predating the old 1940’s math and science building, the excavation crew unearthed foundations from a cafeteria building that had been destroyed by fire in 1931. After the old footings and fire debris were removed, trenching and installation of underground utilities got underway; new concrete footings and slabs were poured. In late August, the building went “vertical”, with framing and second floor steel decking now visible above the construction fence line. And arborists are taking special care of the historic live oak tree, which is at least 75 years old, to ensure it will live to shade yet another building being built for Colton Yellow Jackets at the corner of Rancho and Valley Boulevard.
