Union School District to Spend $125M for Major Facilitiy Upgrades

SAN JOSE, CA—Voters here have overwhelmingly supported a $125 million bond measure to upgrade and repair aging facilities of the Union Elementary School District, and implement a plan of the Governing Board and Superintendent to bring their facilities into the highest level of 21st Century Learning Environments.Earlier this year, the Union Elementary School District approved BCA Architects’ Long Range Facilities Master Plan for its schools in a unanimous vote. Union School District was particularly interested in working with BCA because of the firm’s focus on campus safety/security in design.

“The mission of the Union School District is to enrich the community through learning,” said Jacqueline Horejs, Union School District Superintendent. “The District’s goal has been to design facilities that will support innovative, state-of-the-art teaching and learning in order to ensure student success on the rigorous new Common Core State Standards and to enable them to be successful in all of their future endeavors. Paul Bunton and his Team at BCA Architects provided strong leadership and guidance to our District through thoughtful presentations that ultimately led the Governing Board to a unanimous approval of their visionary master plan.”
