Mission School

The Mission School project revitalizes an existing historic campus with new building additions and modernizations capable of accommodating 600 K-5 students.  The classic mission architecture blends modern materials and technology to create an exemplary 21st century place of learning.  Pedestrian and vehicular circulation has been reorganized to maximize efficiency and safety while allowing students and visitors to fully experience the architecture and its historical context.

A new arcade and bell tower pays tribute to previous structures and unifies the campus by creating a main pedestrian circulation element that provides sun control and protection from the weather.  Original Art Deco interiors of the main Auditorium are being revitalized and equipped with state-of-the-art audio visual technology for community performances and meetings.  Southern California Edison’s “Savings by Design” program is contributing funding for the project’s innovative energy-saving design and construction.  The rejuvenated campus has received high acclaim from District, Community, and State Officials.
