5,000 sq. ft. adaptive reuse project for education and community
This civic engagement project focuses on transforming a 5,000 sq. ft. former religious building into a vibrant and secure elementary school serving a local California community. The design honors the original structure while adapting it to support a modern, child-centered educational environment.
The renovation incorporates advanced safety and structural technologies designed to meet FEMA requirements, ensuring the highest standards of protection for students and staff in the event of emergencies. In addition, the project is pursuing LEED certification, emphasizing sustainability, energy efficiency, and indoor environmental quality.
The result is a welcoming, resilient, and future-ready learning space, designed to foster growth, creativity, and safety for young children — and to serve as a long-term investment in the community’s educational and environmental values.
