Greer Elementary School Modernization

Greer Elementary School Modernization

Project Details

Location: Sacramento, CA

Square Feet: 56,815

Delivery: Design-Build

Categories: Education

This innovative Design-Build project provided over 30,000 SF of new ground-up facilities and 24,000 SF of heavy modernization to create an entirely new campus on the original site dating back to the 1960’s. Greer Elementary School builds upon a custom modular classroom design developed by the architect and built by Otto. This was done to help meet a strictly phased construction schedule and to maintain full operations of the campus of over 500 students during construction. The project provides 21st century collaborative learning environments for its K-5 students, including outdoor workspaces and interior break-out spaces. Rooms are flexible and roll-up garage doors connect some classrooms to adjacent outdoor learning spaces.

This project rotated the school 90 degrees on its site and features three new buildings housing 16 classrooms, an administration building, and multi-purpose room twice the size of the original one. Two existing buildings containing 12 classrooms were remodeled to complement the new construction.

The school remained occupied throughout construction, requiring the project to be broken up into five phases and the students to be housed in temporary classrooms that remained on site for the duration of the project. As buildings were complete, students were moved into the newly constructed classrooms and students from existing classrooms were moved to the temporary classrooms, and so forth.

Project Details

Location: Sacramento, CA

Square Feet: 48,940

Delivery: Design-Build

Categories: Renovations, In Your Community

The SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity – formerly known as the Powerhouse Science Center – is an adaptive reuse of the historic 1912-era PG&E Power Station, which sat vacant on the banks of the Sacramento River for 60 years. Before becoming the region’s newest hub for science education and exploration, the historic structure had to undergo stabilization and  rehabilitation. The building received a complete structural retrofit and a second floor for flexible exhibit space. A new two-story, 22,000SF addition was built on the east side of the existing building and contains an entry lobby, classrooms, offices, a café and a 110-seat planetarium prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass.

Stanislaus State Vasche Library Renovation

Stanislaus State Vasche Library Renovation

Project Details

Location: Turlock, CA

Square Feet: 133,077

Delivery: Collaborative Design-Build

Categories: Education, Renovations

Project Description

This Collaborative Design-Build partnership between Otto Construction, EHDD Architects and CSU Stanislaus brought the 3-story 1960s era building into the 21st century. Now fully renovated, the 133,077SF library can accommodate 1,000 people at a time and house Stan State’s collection of over 675,000 items thanks to a new state-of-the-art Electronic Compact Book Storage System. Previously, the same collection took up over 30,000SF of space on multiple floors, but now only requires 16,977SF. This feature left more space in the renovated library for new amenities. Extensive technology resources, including distributed computers, laptop check out, tech help desk, and multimedia group study rooms, give students a wide variety of spaces and technologies to meet their needs. Additional amenities include 24-hour study areas, a café, group study spaces and quiet zones with a variety of seating options. New openings in the second floor allow daylight to filter down to the first floor from new clerestory windows. 

The first phase of the project consisted of the installation of 32 trailers to serve as a temporary home for library services. This made room for the library to be vacated before construction began.
