Bay View was built in 1950 & serves 338 students.
In 2016, after almost 20 years without a Bond investment, the school needed help. Teachers, students, staff, parents & neighbors prioritized the need for modernized classrooms, new roofs, expanded & improved play areas and an upgraded multi-purpose building.
The project further included new landscaping with drought tolerant plants, a new electrical & data infrastructure, removal of portables, reconfiguring of and additional parking space and general modernizations & refurbishments.
THE WORK.
Built: 6 New Classrooms
A new wing classrooms replace aging portables with energy efficient & spacious learning environments with the same upgraded ventilation, insulation and technological infrastructure with which we modernized existing classrooms.
Remodeled: Main Entrance & Front Courtyard
To revitalize a dilapidated campus entry and repair this first-impression point in the neiborhood, we built a new face for Bay View that students, staff & neighbors could take pride in & a green retention pond for better water stewardship.
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
Evolving New Master Implementation Plan
In working with the Architects and the site staff the plan of action is coming together.
