RANCHO DE LA NACION ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - New Multi-Purpose Building + Walk-in Freezer Addition
The work of this project started with the evaluation of several deteriorated existing buildings on a campus with significant accessibility challenges due to sporadic development on a terraced site. In addition to the multipurpose building this project included ramps, sidewalks and steps to make the entire site accessible.
The 8,700 square foot (Phase I) building includes a multipurpose room with stage, kitchen, storage, and restrooms. Office wing with public entry and administrative, principal, and nurse staff lounge and restrooms. The Phase II design includes a two-kindergarten classroom wing.
We provided full A/E services.
A significant design element both for energy conservation and for the educational environment are the curtain walls You will note in the photos that the large areas of glass that invite sunlight into the building in the early morning hours are completely in shade from approximately 10:30 a.m. on throughout the day. North facing operable windows and a large overhead door provide natural ventilation. High-efficiency HVAC systems with oversized economizer cycles were provided as were high-efficiency water heaters. Insulated glass was used.

OLYMPIAN HIGH SCHOOL - Phase II - New Construction and Various Site Improvements
JRM Architecture is dedicated to design excellence no matter what the size or scope is. Each project is given the full attention of the project architect so that projects are delivered on time, on budget, and over all aesthetic is not overlooked.
Sweetwater Union High School tasked us with designing a new grounds keep building and sports equipment storage building for their existing Olympian High School campus in Chula Vista. Passive systems were utilized to optimize light and utility to the buildings without sacrificing design. Other various code compliance issues were also addressed to bring this project as well as the rest of the campus into code compliance and full DSA certification.
