Arroyo School

Washington Elementary School District

The district replaced this school, originally built in 1974, with a new campus comprised of three buildings. The new 77,000 SF, K-8 school includes a multi-purpose building, media center, STEM classroom, and specialty program spaces for music, art, and drama. Traditional style classrooms along with break-out learning spaces provide a variety of flexible teaching options for staff. The administration building includes a well-defined entry, reception area, and administrative and nurse’s offices.

H2 provided full project management services during design and construction. When initial costing exceeded the budget by $2M, we were instrumental in leading the team to return the project within budget with no significant scope reduction. Our staff represented the district and school’s interests to realize their goals for design and function while working with the architect and contractor to monitor quality and maintain schedule.
