Balfour Beatty

Scope Of Work

Paying respectful homage to the original buildings and elevating the school’s presence along well-trafficked El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego, the Hoover High School project stands as a welcoming new threshold to the campus. This 85,000-square-foot Lease-Leaseback project included the demolition of the original 1930s theater and construction of a new theater and three-story classroom building on an active, 2,200-student campus. Spanish architecture meets old-fashioned schoolhouse style, honoring the school’s history with modern, energy efficient design. The technologically advanced theater is a valuable addition to the school and the local community, equipped to host a range of high school activities and public events. In addition to 20 classrooms, the threestory building houses administrative and counseling offices, a student store, and various other staff facilities.

“In my 17 years serving as a Construction Manager at SDUSD, I can honestly say that Balfour Beatty is the best contractor I have worked with... The Hoover High School project is almost complete, and it appears certain to be delivered before the contract required date of August 5. We look forward to working with Balfour Beatty again soon on future projects!” - Rick Mortazavi, Lead Construction Manager | SDUSD
