PCOE
Approves New Professional
Development and Charter School Facility:
The
Placer County Office of Education Board voted unanimously on February 28 to
begin construction of tenant improvements to 20,000 SF of existing office space
at 655 Menlo Drive in Rocklin. The program, which includes a major area for
staff training, an alternative education charter school program and an
independent learning charter school program, will provide a much needed
resource for staff and students in South Placer County. 
Since the building was purchased in August 2012, Williams +
Paddon has worked to transform the office building into a multi-use educational
and training facility. The design includes a shared "hub" area for
the alternative education program, state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment
including smart projection devices and touch screen LCD monitors, and a data
center maintained by generator backup. Special attention was paid to the
interiors, which provides a 21st Century environment more indicative of
hospitality design, with natural daylighting, colorful finishes and collaborative
spaces. The facility is expected to be operational by July 2013.
