The new Adult Education Center was completed for occupation by Staff in July 2013 at the William C. Overfelt High School Campus in San Jose, CA. The new two-story facility replaced an existing facility and now provides 18 Classrooms, 2 Computer Labs, Administration Building, Student Lounge and new dedicated parking lot areas. The construction of the new enlarged buildings is approximately 27,738 square feet and has the ability of serving over 5,000 students. With a diverse community from a variety of backgrounds in East San Jose, the new Adult Education Center gives individuals the ability to have a learning experience in a modern and innovative setting. In addition, the center benefits many adults by offering the opportunity to acquire English skills, High School Diplomas, career training and education.

ACEE designed the electrical infrastructure for the facility as well as providing Electrical Performance Design Specifications for the Pre-manufactured 2-story building. In addition, the new facility was constructed directly adjacent to the existing adult education center. The design team successfully coordinated the construction of the new facility, the removal of the existing adult education center and the construction of the new parking lot area on top of the existing adult center location within the constraints and allotted time for the opening of the new school year.

Director of Adult Education’s Quote

Richard Uribe Quoted:

“This new facility is a dream come true for many of us. The community deserves this 21st Century learning environment and they take full advantage of the services offered”

Since 1960, Pomeroy Elementary School utilized an existing 3,800-square-foot area for the multipurpose room, which is part of a larger building containing classrooms and restrooms, intended for about 300 students. The school now has over 700 students. Inside the multipurpose room, the existing stage utilized was very tiny. When used for performances the school couldn’t even fit an entire class on the stage. The school needed an upgrade, and in June of 2012 Milpitas voters passed the $95-million general obligation bond that funded a new multipurpose building for Pomeroy.

The new 6,000sf single-story building is a pre-fabricated modular building. The new building is equipped with a raised stage that can fit an entire class with nice lighting and a sound system. The building also includes a warming kitchen and a speed line to quickly serve food to the students. ACEE worked closely with the Architect and Milpitas district on the district standards and the usage of the building. The overall construction for this project was smooth with less than 10 RFIs. The project total change order (Architectural, Civil, and Electrical) was around 1%. The design team and the construction manager did a great job.

West Lane Charter School is a new 6th-12th Grade Charter School for ASPIRE Public School which was completed in 2010 and the addition of the new Gymnasium completes the school campus to be fully operational. The Gymnasium/Multi-Purpose Building is approximately 15,132sqft and included a gym/multi-use, food service, restrooms, storages, electrical, sport equipment storage, facility manager office, IDF/AV, sprinkler riser room and lobby.

Because of the newly build campus charter school and extremely tight budget, the building was successfully installed under $2.3 million. The design team pursued Savings By Design to ensure building efficiency and owner satisfaction. of solar comes down.
