PROJECT OVERVIEW:
The Whole Site Modernization project for Scripps Ranch High School includes construction of a new 12-classroom building at the northwest corner of the campus, and demolition of 12 portable classrooms at the southeast corner of the campus. The main campus is improved with campus wide wireless infrastructure, installation of i21 classroom technology, which includes interactive whiteboards, tablets for teachers and netbooks for students. Site improvements also include installation of air conditioning in educational support spaces, classroom modernization, electrical systems, and fire alarm systems.
Site improvements to the athletic fields include construction of a new facilities building, new gating and ticket booth at the football stadium entrance, and removal/replacement of the existing tennis courts. Relocation of the existing softball field includes new accessible dugouts, bullpens, batting cages, press/announcer's booths, concession stands, and athletic equipment storage areas.
BACKGROUND:
San Diego Unified’s capital projects are funded by San Diego Unified School District’s Propositions S and Z, which are local bond measures approved by San Diego voters to repair, renovate and revitalize neighborhood schools. In addition to renovation and replacement, bond projects include classroom technology, facilities to support College, Career and Technical Education, classroom air conditioning, safety and security upgrades, and other facilities improvements at traditional and public charter schools throughout San Diego Unified.
The new community garden along the new building was funded by the Resource Conservation District of San Diego and the California Native Plant Society, which provided a grant to the SRHS garden club. The Village Garden Club of La Jolla also donated jacaranda trees to the garden.
PARKING:
Media can park in the new parking lot, which is located west of the stadium (see the red rectangle). Please note: this area was previously bungalows that were demolished for the new parking lot. From the administration building: go straight past the administration building, past the 800 & 900 buildings, and you will see the remaining bungalows on the right side; there will be signage for media.
