50,000+ SQ/FT
Measuring approximately 50,000 square feet, the new facility provides a 25% increase in square footage over the school’s former site, allowing for a design that is driven by the specific needs of middle and high school students in the 21st century. The renovated facility far exceeds the standards adopted by the State of California, and provides a cutting-edge educational environment with an advanced technology infrastructure.
The facility meets or exceeds state green building standards, and the rooftop solar array provides over 60% of our electrical usage.
Cutting Edge.
