The rehabilitation of Mayo Hall calls for the demolition of non-historic additions to make way for a new modern single-story addition. Mayo Hall faces Morrow Cove and the greater San Francisco Bay, which offers incredible opportunities for views out to the Bay and bringing light and air into the new building. The interior layout is organized around a main circulation space dubbed “The Concourse” from which all the different programs for student life and cadet services are connected. The existing gymnasium houses two large multi-purpose conference rooms and student leadership and career services in an open loft-like second floor. The existing natatorium  remains relatively open and active, housing the student life and bistro spaces. The Health Services department occupies the North side addition with its own separate and discrete entrance, providing a truly new health services building. Admissions, registrar and financial aid departments inhabit the other addition. Mayo Hall emphasizes shared, cultural spaces such as the Wall of Honor, gallery to display Cal Maritime relics, and impromptu spill-out spaces that are critical for meeting and conference room functions. These spaces not only display the shared history of California Maritime and its alumni, but also act as a recruitment tool for attracting future cadets to campus. 

Delivered via Lease-Leaseback, the new 13,000SF facility is home to Da Vinci Charter High School’s Computer Science Program. The building’s learning spaces consist of a tech hub, computer lab, science lab, makerspace, CTE breakout space, and digital fabrication and media production spaces. The building also houses the P.E. office, boys and girls locker rooms and restrooms, storage rooms, and utility rooms.

The new 8,000SF Culinary Center will house two kitchen studios, a demonstration classroom, food storage and staff offices. Adjacent to the Culinary Center will be the Agricultural Center for Experiential Learning consisting of a 4,000SF pre-engineered steel animal barn providing new pen and show space for livestock and include a hatchery and nursery care for poultry. A new modular classroom building containing two labs will provide additional hands-on learning space.

The new CTE Engineering Center will consist of the modernization of 1,400SF of an existing building to serve as a computer design studio and construction of a new 3,700SF addition to house an advanced fabrication lab. The lab will contain Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling machines capable of creating parts for student-built robots, rockets and remote-controlled vehicles. The associated site work includes the relocation of existing portable classroom buildings and tennis courts.

This project consists of the renovation of an existing stadium at Rancho San Juan High School. The scope of work consists of new 1,500-seat grandstands, a 2,000SF restroom/concession building, new field and pathway lighting, new all-weather track, security fencing, varsity baseball backstop extension, and a 300 sq.ft. greenhouse.

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.
