Kennedy Elementary Remodel & Addition

Project Overview

This project involved both a renovation of the existing school building and the construction of a new addition, all while students and staff remained on-site for daily classes.

The new wood-framed addition introduced seven modern classrooms, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and updated restroom facilities. Meanwhile, the renovation phase addressed critical upgrades, including seismic reinforcements, roof replacement, enhancements to the music room, and improvements to security controls to enhance overall safety.

A key aspect of this project was the coordination required to maintain normal school operations. A comprehensive site-specific safety plan was developed and implemented to ensure the protection of students, faculty, and visitors throughout construction. Through proactive scheduling, phased work zones, and close communication with school administrators, the project team successfully mitigated disruptions.

Despite the complexities of working in an active school environment, the project was completed on time and within budget, demonstrating the team’s commitment to efficiency, safety, and quality execution.
