Scope Of Work
The new award-winning 900-student K-8 Rio del Sol campus in Oxnard, California provides an unprecedented educational experience for a largely underserved and migrant population. The first K-8 campus for the District, the first STEAM School for the County, and a one-of-a-kind educational facility funded through public support and bonds. The project features 78,000 square feet of new construction including classrooms with STEAM Centers, Library, Administration and Multi-purpose facilities and the design of the school forms around the central, unifyling courtyard. The concept is embodied in multiple learning spaces and STEAM centers, following a pathway of student developmental stages. Rio School District’s STEAM campus showcases the District’s commitment to hands-on learning with outdoor environments designed to function as classrooms, drawing on the nearby river and storm water management structures as sources of study inspiration.
