This renovation to an existing 8,662-sq.-ft. multipurpose building was overdue and much anticipated. Frick, Frick & Jetté’s involvement included a complete renovation of the kitchen. As a result, the kitchen portion of the building was demolished in its entirety and rebuilt to furnish the campus with modern kitchen and serving facilities. A temporary kitchen building was placed to serve the campus during construction. Renovated features also include all new finishes, lighting and ADA upgrades in the cafeteria/auditorium and stage portions of the building. ADA upgrades include a wheelchair lift and exterior ramps and parking.

As an exemplary steward of the environment and the surrounding community, Victor Valley Community College commissioned Frick, Frick & Jetté Architects to re-design their vast 400,000-sq.-ft. campus-wide landscape and hardscape areas. Frick, Frick & Jetté studied patterns of use alongside a customized sustainability program for the College. Improvements were designed for both irrigation and landscaping to promote efficiency and longevity. The upgraded campus landscape is more efficient and sustainable, with attractive desertscape and native plants that require less watering and maintenance.

Part of the existing lakeshore was reclaimed and restored back to its natural state after years of encroachment and erosion issues. An outdoor seating area was added for the many outdoor activities this campus provides.

In an effort to provide students a state-of-the-art educational experience, Adelanto Elementary School District hired Frick, Frick & Jetté to design a complete renovation and modernization this 32,076-sq.-ft. Performing Arts Magnet School. Accessibility improvements were completed to the restrooms and public areas, including the removal and replacement of existing hazardous flooring and new accessible doors, hardware and casework.

As a part of the modernization, new interior finishes provide a welcoming and inviting learning environment. Outdated plumbing fixtures were replaced with new efficient models, providing an immediate return on the District’s investment. The upgrades made to the fire alarm system bring the school into the 21st century of monitoring and early detection.

In addition to the many interior upgrades, exterior path-of-travel compliance modifications were completed along with site upgrades for landscaping, irrigation and hardscape. New play equipment now provides a safe and long lasting environment for students. The buildings’ exteriors received a new paint scheme blending well with the high desert environment.

In addition to full campuses, one of the major demands most school districts have is expanding their student capacity with new classrooms. As a result, Frick, Frick & Jetté Architects have been designing, specifying and retrofitting Relocatable / Modular buildings for over 50+ years. Demands of expansion have wreaked havoc on school districts and their ability to provide efficient and effective services. As a result, tight budgets have caused the growing demand for Modular Buildings. Most often, there simply isn’t enough in a School District’s budget to construct permanent facilities with the ability to adapt and grow in concert with the community. Frick, Frick & Jetté’s experience with Relocatable / Modular buildings include standard portable classrooms along with pre-fabricated two-story building options.

Relocatable / Modular buildings are cost effective, allow for quick assembly, and are easily modified to resemble the adjacent architecture. Many of these structures are pre-approved through DSA, which greatly streamlines the approval process. Relocatable / Modular buildings are designed with flexibility in mind, they are highly configurable and can easily be moved to other areas on the site with minimal site-work required.

Square Footage:               Varies
Cost:                                    Varies

Features:

• Less expensive than similar-sized permanent buildings
• Faster to build and place than permanent buildings, and often pre-approved through DSA
• Flexible configurations
• Relocatable classrooms can be moved and reused, even on other sites
