T
he Science/Media Commons & CTE Project will bring relevant,
career-focused, 21st Century learning environments to the 55-
year old Del Campo High School campus. An existing vocational
building will be repurposed to include popular career technical education
programs including Fire/EMT, Computer Technology and Television
Broadcast. These state-of-the-art facilities will provide relevant and
rigorous courses that will prepare students for high-wage, high-skill and
high-demand jobs in today’s workplace. A new 2-story science center
will replace existing outdated facilities with highly collaborative learning
environments with an emphasis on flexibility, safety and the promotion of
student and teacher interaction. The project’s cornerstone will be a high-
bay, multi-media commons designed to encourage student collaboration
and showcase high school academia to the community with its 2-story
exterior glazing and dramatic lighting.
