Nestled in a close-knit, wooded community south of San Francisco, this K-8 district engaged WRNS Studio to transform its campus through bond-funded renovations and new construction. The work included modernizing classrooms, adding a multipurpose gym, and creating flexible, tech-enabled spaces for preschool and design lab learning. With strong community backing, WRNS Studio led inclusive design charrettes to gather input from parents, faculty, students, and local leaders, ensuring the project met the district’s educational goals while preserving its small-town character. The result? A future-ready campus that continues to serve as a model of public education excellence.
