Branciforte was built in 1950 & serves 470 students.
In 2016, after almost 20 years without a Bond investment, the school needed help. Teachers, students, staff, parents & neighbors prioritized the need for a refurbished multi-purpose room, new roofs, a new music space, general modernizations and site-wide beautification.
The project further included new landscaping with drought tolerant plants,
a new tech infrastructure, a new shaded lunch area,
expanded & improved parking access
and general refurbishments.
THE WORK.
Reimagined: A Beautification of Campus
To help give students and staff pride in our school we reimagined our campus with open spaces, native plants and remodeled our school exterior to brighten our school days and our midtown neighborhood.
Built: Our New Music Center
To give modern, useable space to our music program and to create a conducive space for learning, we built a new building for practice, instruction & play in which students and teachers could take pride.
Remodeled: Our New Stage & Event Space
Our aging multi-purpose room was ready for reimagining. We built a space full of light and built for versatility, to create a beautiful, open & well ventilated place to come together.
MODERNIZATION.
At every school site, you'll see "Modernization" as a banner item. While it varies by site, this normally means:
New Network & Technological Infrastructure
New Efficient & Welcoming Lighting
Upgraded Ventilation & HVAC Systems
Interior Re-design & Beautification
Insulating Window Shades
New Environmentally Conscious Flooring
New Interactive Presentation Screens & Teaching Tools
New Sliding Whiteboards
Window Films to Boost Insulation & HVAC efficiency (did you know studies show learning ability plummets in rooms over 75 degrees?)
New Cabinetry & Storage Solutions
