Building 100, is San Elijo’s library building. The project scope included a moderate renovation, to the library, tutoring spaces, computer labs, offices, restrooms, and AV/IT support spaces.

All mechanical equipment was replaced due to aging. This building will be a hub for academic and learning support.

Building 200 provides classrooms for art, dance, and music, along with an outdoor amphitheater. The building underwent a full modernization, along with replacements of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. The exterior ceramics yard was upgraded to an enclosed and air-conditioned space that is equipped with air cleaning safety systems to collect sawdust and glazing dust from art activities. New finishes, fixtures, furniture, and equipment provided throughout.

The renovation of Building 300 - a 29,000 square feet general purpose classroom building - involved the modernization of eight classrooms, the tutoring center, and lab spaces. The building was completely overhauled with new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, technology upgrades, and new classroom finishes, furniture, and fixtures. The project also included a full roof re-tiling, restroom and accessibility upgrades, the addition of a new custodial room, and a new intermediate distribution frame (IDF) room to support the upgrades in technology.

The B400 building houses Physical Sciences classrooms and labs. The building was renovated to improve classroom adjacencies and functionality. The project created more flexible and useful learning spaces in the building and a Physical Sciences Hub for the San Elijo campus.

Building 500 originally housed six classrooms, faculty offices, and the Language Resource Center. The renovation project provided for the reconfiguration of the spaces to provide two new computer labs, a technology-rich active learning classroom with movable seating and tables, and the modernization of all classrooms. Additionally, the building was re-roofed.

Classroom Building 600 includes approximately 5,300 gross square feet of space, including classrooms for English, humanities, and social sciences classes. The project involved a full-building renovation, along with replacements of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and replacement of some exterior building elements. Interior spaces were reprogrammed, and all classrooms updated with new interior walls and finishes and modern technologies.

The B900 building is the Student Center of the San Elijo Campus and was partially renovated. The current bookstore and conference room functions will be moving to the new Student Services and Administration Building.  This will allow for the creation of more student-centered gathering spaces (Associated Student Government (ASG), clubs, etc.), expansion of Health and Mental Counseling into more functional space, and the addition of a gender-neutral restroom, and a mother’s lactation room.

The Student Services and Administration Building replaced the original Administration building and consolidated key student services into a single location. The new 10,770 square feet facility provides administrative offices and meeting spaces that improve the ability of staff to serve the student body, as well as gathering and socialization spaces.  Programs and services housed in the new building include Admission & Records, Financial Aid, and Counseling. Offices for the campus administration are also included.

The new building provides a welcoming new gateway for the San Elijo campus. The design involved locating large portions of the building circulation to exterior covered spaces. These covered areas create several areas with seating and spaces for students to congregate, as well as additional ‘spill-out’ space for the building’s multipurpose room. The building is organized along a central circulation spine. Separate entrances for students, staff and faculty are located at each end. The main building lobby is located at the south-west corner of the plan, with commanding views out to the lagoon; as well as providing the iconic ‘lighthouse’ for the campus from Manchester Street.

The building’s façade complements the exposed bluff faces surrounding the campus, using split-face concrete blocks to mimic the texture of the bluffs. An art walk is planned for the building arcade, featuring student murals on wall mounted panels.

Additional sustainable design strategies include:

• Passive sun shading/roof overhang
• Abundance of natural light inside the building via storefronts and skylights
• North-south solar orientation for the building and circulation axis

An ADA-compliant student drop-off is installed at the entry to the San Elijo Campus as part of this project.

This project includes demolition of the old Administration Building (B800) no longer in use with the new Student Services and Administration  Building in operation. In its place a new unifying campus Quad will be created. Landscaping and reclaimed irrigation upgrades throughout campus will  be included. Additionally, plans include upgrades to campus monument signage and path-of-travel improvements.

This project includes various utility repairs around the San Elijo campus to sewer, storm drain, water, and gas lines. Additionally, the scope will include bringing reclaimed irrigation water to campus and installing a stormwater retention system to meet City of Encinitas requirements. Plans are underway to bring reclaimed water to the campus for irrigation.
