PROJECT OVERVIEWS:
Culinary Remodel
The culinary remodel project includes the interior remodel of the 900 Building into a state-of-the-art culinary arts instructional facility.
Upgrades include new kitchen equipment, gas service, dry goods storage, instructor workstation, lighting, and finishes for two culinary classrooms.
A mock restaurant/service space with indoor and outdoor dining adjoins the classrooms.
Sustainable Academy of Building and Engineering (SABE)
Only 10% of California Partnerships Academies (CPA) have received the California Partnership Academies Distinguished Academy award over the last 35 years. This year, only six of 393 CPAs were awarded the honor, including Hoover High School’s Sustainable Academy of Building and Engineering (SABE).
Completed in Oct. 2011, SABE, originally called the Green Construction Program Building, is a cutting-edge project that features a modern, commercial-grade woodshop set in an industrial arts classroom.
The 5,700 square-foot instructional facility is a model of green construction and efficiency; the building design utilized criteria from the Collaborative for High Performing Schools (CHPS) in order to provide a learning environment that is energy efficient, healthy, and comfortable. The facility features state-of-the-art dust collecting/ventilation and noise reduction systems, photovoltaic solar system, and LEED certified exterior building materials. In 2012, the project was awarded the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Certification.
The Academy focuses on sustainable building techniques and career opportunities in the energy and construction fields. The building itself serves as an educational lab where students learn about subjects ranging from renewable technologies in construction, photovoltaic solar systems, renewable and recycled building products, and energy efficiency. Students have access to state-of-the-art and industry-standard tools, where they can hone and refine carpentry skills applicable in today’s workforce.
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. These two projects also benefited from state funding.
