Ella Elementary School Improvements Move Forward

One of 230 Shovel-Ready School Construction Projects funded by the State Allocation Board (SAB) in May 2013 

 

Williams + Paddon is proceeding with work that began in 2009 for the Marysville Joint Unified School District. The District received $3.2 million from the State Allocation Board last month, which will be put towards continued improvements at Ella Elementary School. This phase will involve the construction of a new 19,900 sf 2-story classroom building, bus loop, staff parking lot, and off-site improvements; and removal of three portable classrooms.

 

This project is utilizing the Lease-Leaseback delivery method; Broward Builders is the general contractor. It will employ High Performance Incentive (HPI) program attributes:

• Use design and materials that promote energy and water efficiency
• Minimize and treat runoff after construction
• Maximize the use of natural lighting
• Improve indoor air quality
• Use recycled materials and materials that emit a minimum of toxic substances
• Employ acoustics that aid in teaching and learning

The Williams + Paddon team is proud to continue helping shape the growth of Marysville Joint Unified School District’s campuses. In addition to this project, we have provided planning and design services for Ella Elementary’s campus master plan, Arboga Elementary’s new preschool, the relocation/placement of portable classrooms at multiple campuses, and the design of Cedar Lane Elementary’s new outdoor preschool play area.
