Design-Build

As part of a portable replacement JL Modular was tasked with designing and building a new classroom building to provide two new kindergarten classrooms on this existing elementary School campus. JLM worked with the architect to use our clerestory DSA prechecked design to expedite approval. The building features two kindergarten classrooms with associated teacher work rooms and restrooms.

Summit Shasta High School in Daly City, CA opened for students in August 2018. The school was built by JL Construction (JLC), in conjunction with JL Modular (JLM), with Artik Art & Architecture.

Summit Shasta is a new 400-student public charter high school on 2.5 acres in Daly City, CA, south of San Francisco.

JLC provided overall project management and utilities, parking and all outdoor learning spaces and landscaping while JLM provided the modular school buildings.

The campus has five 1-story modular buildings totaling 26,000 square feet. There are:

• 10 standard classrooms
• two science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) classrooms
• one special education classroom with associated office
• an administration space
• a large multipurpose building

The gym is large enough for a full basketball court plus bleachers as well as all-school gatherings.

The new school for the Woodland Joint Unified School District was built by JL Modular in conjunction with HMC Architects and Otto Construction.
JLM was responsible for the construction of the modular buildings including the:
• administration building
• three kindergarten classrooms
• eight classrooms with adjacent collaboration spaces and restrooms
• a student center with library
JLM worked with HMC Architects to design and build the classroom buildings within one of JLM’s standard customizable classroom designs, which is preapproved by the California Division of the State Architect. This preapproval saved months in design and approval time.
The school offers a unique STEAM and project-based learning program that builds 21st-century skills. Design features and unique architectural elements include:
• Collaboration space between classrooms
• Limited built-ins for flexible use of classroom space
• Mobile furniture for adaptable spaces
• Natural lighting from windows
• Outdoor learning areas
• Mixed-use student center
