The new 2-story 75,000SF science building is Los Rios Community College District’s single largest value project ever constructed. The instructional building will house six Biology labs, six Chemistry labs, and a 4,000 sq. ft. Science Center, allowing Folsom Lake College (FLC) to significantly expand its science program. Located near the main entrance of FLC, it will establish a dramatic and beautiful presence. Building on the occupied campus will require close coordination to ensure student and staff safety, and to limit disruptions to existing operations.

This project consists of the construction of a new 2-story, 91,000SF Technical Education Building for the Los Rios Community College District American River College campus. The new building will consist of classrooms, staff offices, conference rooms, gathering spaces, laboratories and maker spaces. Laboratories include an electronics lab, computer lab, soldering lab, mechanical/plumbing lab, and welding yard. There will also be an auto shop and auto yard.

The scope of work requires the demolition of 5 existing building and the associated canopy structures and site work, but the automotive technology building will remain until the new building is complete. This will require our team to provide students an accessible path of travel around the construction site to access the building, which will be just 30 feet from the construction site. Once the new facility has been completed, the auto technology building will be demolished and the automotive yard and welding yard will be built. A new parking lot and associated landscape will take place of the existing automotive technology building.

 KIPP will operate a public school at Conway Homes – a public housing project located in South Stockton – both to bring a high-quality educational option to Conway Homes families and to help catalyze change for the community.

This project is divided into three phases:

1. Demolition of existing site features, utilities and maintenance buildings.
2. Site work and preparation for the installation of nine 960SF modular classrooms and relocation of two existing modular classrooms.
3. Construction of a new 3,775SF multi-purpose building.

Otto Construction and PBK have been collaborating to finalize the design and provide cost-saving solution. Phase 1 is site work and construction is currently in progress, with phases 2 and 3 still in design.

KIPP University Park was divided into three phases. Otto recently completed Phase I, which consisted of site utilities, a parking lot and installation of 6 portable buildings containing classrooms and offices, and 1 portable restroom building totaling 6,000SF, and an outdoor play space. These temporary facilities are serving100 middle school students. Phase II consists of the construction of a new 2-story 30,604SF classroom building containing 21 classrooms and offices, 9,272SF gym/administration building including a servery and restrooms, 2 playgrounds and recreational space. This will serve 585 TK-4 students and is currently under construction.
