Pinole Valley High School

Client: West Contra Costa Unified School District
Market: K-12 Education
Project Area: 260,000 sq. ft.

The design goal for Pinole Valley High School was 100% student engagement; the design employs spaces that will motivate students, encourage collaboration, and energize learning. In the heart of the main academic building there is a large three-story open forum with built-in seats, display niches, WIFI, projector screen, sound and lighting systems to enhance activities such as students’ clubs meetings, informal gatherings and studies, science fair, or serves as shelter during inclement weather. Smaller open spaces with natural daylight are provided as an extension to the classrooms at each end of the building for small group work or project display.

Classrooms are equipped with interactive learning technology and careful placement of projector screen and power to give teachers flexibility in arranging the classroom furniture to suit different types of learning environments. 

The outdoor quad was designed to serve as a programmatic extension of the Library. There are different types of seating and gathering places; lunch shelters with picnic tables, seat walls at various planters, and an amphitheater embracing a variety of students’ activities.
