PROJECT OVERVIEW:
The Point Loma High School Whole Site Modernization project includes design and construction of a new three-story, 38,000 square-foot building, renovation of the 200 and 300 buildings and upgrades to the athletic facilities.
The new building features a library and media center on the first floor, second and third floor classrooms, and a multi-functional central outdoor area.
On-site parking capacity is increased with the reconfiguration of the Clove Street parking lot, which features a visitor's security entrance to the campus.
Other site improvements include installation of a new bus turnout, landscape and hardscape improvements, constructing new security enclosures, practice fields, and technology upgrades.
The project is anticipated to be completed in late 2021.
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.
PARKING:
Parking will be limited to street parking. The school site has requested that the media enter through the administration office. To get to the main office, enter the main parking lot, located on Clove Street. You can access the main office from there.
