The Westmore Oaks School Homecoming Project brings elementary school students back to the original Westmore Oaks campus in West Sacramento, CA. The campus has 17 classrooms and needs to add 16 more to house the 650+ student population that will be moving from the current school about a block and a half away.
The original buildings were constructed in the early 1950’s and have housed pre-school, elementary and high school students throughout its long history. These buildings will be modernized with new technology and updated finishes, while two new buildings will be added to house the intermediate children. The new buildings will be classrooms and support spaces, with a modern take on the site’s existing architecture of brick and stucco materials.
The school will also get a much-needed parking and drop-off area, plus buses and an expanded kitchen to serve the students on-site. Safety and security are a high priority. The campus is set to receive new fencing and security measures, including electronic hardware, allowing staff to lock doors internally.
