A unique collaboration between San Jose Evergreen Community College District, and Milpitas Unified School District, the new Joint Use 21st Century Education Center provides 13,000 square feet of new classrooms for high school and college students. The classrooms are designed around a central courtyard and a Hub, to foster collaboration and learning. High school students will use the building during the day and college students will use the building at night. The new building provides lecture classrooms, biology lab, robotics, technology and standard classrooms. Designed to be LEED Silver, the building incorporates several sustainable and efficient building systems.
The Marin County Office of Education hired JL Modular to build a new continuation school campus on their current grounds. The four-building campus was built utilizing modular construction, but had several custom elements such as a curved roof and clerestory roof frames. The exterior of the building was clad with plaster and Hardie siding. Each building has large lower windows, clerestory windows, and solatubes to provide ample natural daylight. Large canopies and sunshades are provided at each doorway and at sun facing windows.
The classroom interiors are large, light, and bright and four of the classrooms are connected with a series of glass partitions and operable partitions to open up into one large classroom for collaborative learning. The campus was built to a high-performance modular spec and utilized natural daylighting and controls, reduced water usage, energy efficient HVAC systems, enhanced insulation, and recycled materials.
Project includes demolition of lobby and restroom wing, and addition of a new larger entry, lobby, and restroom as well as the renovation of existing auditorium into a theater. Auditorium was completely gutted, including hazardous abatement, and replaced with state-of-the-art theater equipment and elements, including new finishes, theater seating, acoustical treatment, AV, production lighting and rigging, and all new MEP systems.
Complete gutting and renovation of existing main and practice gymnasiums as well as partial demolition, expansion, and renovation of existing auditorium into a Performing Arts Theater. Gymnasiums included new wood flooring, bleachers, athletic equipment, new plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems. Theater included high-end stage finishes, AV production lighting and rigging, theater seating, new plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems. Project also included the complete demolition and reconstruction of the school's interior courtyard with new hardscapes, landscape, exterior lighting, and site furnishings.
Faced with a growing enrollment and aging buildings, this school district took the ambitious approach of demolishing over half of their existing campus to build 26 new classrooms in two separate buildings. The district chose to use the design-build delivery for the two-phase construction, which also included a central quad.
In Phase I, JL Modular was hired to design and build a new two-story 28,000 square foot classroom building. The two-story building consisted of 20 classrooms, 4 restrooms, a teacher's lounge, an interior corridor, and an elevator. Phase II added an 8,000 square foot single-story classroom building.
The entire 32,000 square foot project was completed in 7 months, minimizing the amount of time students had to spend in temporary portable classrooms.
Based on the Roseland Modular Library project, Persinger Architects returned to JL Modular to construct two new buildings in Point Arena. The structures utilized the same design as Roseland, with a large monitor roof and windows for natural light, and were used as a library and a cafeteria.
The cafeteria building featured a small warming kitchen, serving line and buffet, and custom concrete stained floors throughout the cafeteria seating area. The library featured custom cabinetry, shelving, reception desk and book drop, as well as two large seating areas for group reading.
The College of Marin Child Study Center is a 6,300 square foot design build building housing the facilities of the Early Childhood Education department of the college. The building has admin offices, child interaction and observation rooms, and classrooms. JLC built the facility to LEED Silver standards. Some of the sustainable features include a quiet and efficient Mitsubishi heating and cooling system, efficient direct-indirect lighting, natural daylighting with large windows and skylights, and water-efficient plumbing fixtures. JLC teamed with JL Modular on the project to provide a large outdoor deck, landscaping, and play structures.
The San Francisco Unified School District chose to use JL Modular for the third time to replace their aging portables with high quality, permanent modular classrooms. JLC and JLM combined to provide a full school modernization and new design-build modular classroom buildings.
While JLC performed the sitework and existing building modernizations, JL Modular was fabricating buildings off-site and was able to install two new classroom wings in just over two months, allowing the classrooms to be used for the start of the new school year. The classrooms utilized a steep roof pitch and high plate height to allow for clerestory windows, and also installed large skylights in each of the classrooms, providing enough daylight to use the classrooms without artificial light.
The buildings were tied together with a large, prefabricated shade structure and covered walkway.
The LeyVa Middle School Classroom Additions project added two new classroom buildings as well as a new school front entry and student drop off area. The two new classroom buildings contained nine large classrooms and new restrooms. The front of the school got a large, new semi-circle drop off area for parents and buses, complete with a steel shade structure for students to wait for their ride.
New landscaping and school signage was added to give the school a fresh new look along with the two new classroom buildings. The interior of the school was given a facelift as well, with a large new courtyard area.
Phase I of this project includes modernization of the existing facility. Work includes updating the equipment room, team room, training, dance, and adaptive physical education spaces. Changes will also be completed in the gym, locker rooms as well as office and classroom spaces. Phase II will add 12,000 sf to the complex. The addition will include a new multipurpose room, areas for mat sports, fitness and strength training facilities, and space for the fire and police training program. This facility is designed to meet LEED Silver certification.
