Overfelt Adult Education Center
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.
