“The McCarthy/LPA team has excelled in providing quality service and proven to be very successful in this collaborative design/build process.”
— John Raymond, assistant superintendent of facilities, Grant Joint Union High School District
The design/build team of McCarthy and LPA are beginning construction of the new $150 million East Natomas Education Complex.
Part of the Grant Joint Union High School District, the complex will house a high school and a junior high school. The project will be the largest design/build project ever completed in the California public school system under state Assembly Bill 1402. The complex will be built in two phases, with the junior high scheduled to open in August 2009 and the high school a year later. The complex is the largest, single construction project ever for the district and will serve nearly 3,000 students. Overall, it is only the third new school construction project by the district in 43 years. Each school will have a separate entrance and will share a joint administration building and library. The campus will also feature a performing arts center, competition swimming pool and stadium. Design/Build Architect: LPA, Inc., Roseville, Calif.
