World Class Educational Facilities

This world-class educational center features 33 classrooms, student collaboration spaces, a parent center, full-court gymnasium, design lab, innovation lab, fitness lab, and dedicated music and science classrooms. The five single-story, wood-framed buildings were designed to meet Collaborative for High Performance Schools criteria.

“The Irvine Unified School District has built many schools which requires staff to be efficient and organized. Jerry organizes his job responsibilities effectively and is able to multitask and take on additional responsibilities as needed during the construction process. His willingness to work long hours and weekends was instrumental to the successful completion of the project. “– Bruce Monroe, Construction Projects Supervisor, Irvine Unified School District

Innovative Environmental Systems

Sustainable design features include electrochromic glass that automatically adjusts tinting based on occupancy and weather to manage daylight, glare, and energy use.

Avoiding Schedule Delays

Due to unexpected rainstorms, the Bernards team reordered the concrete pour sequence, which avoided schedule delays and resulted in on-time completion.
