La Escuelita Education Center Phase I New Construction Project | Oakland, Ca
As a part of the Oakland Unified School District’s Proposition B and J capital improvement program, the La Escuelita Education Center was designed to be a Collaborative for High Performance Schools certified project with the goal of being grid neutral.
The design vision was to create an integrated campus with an enhanced teaching and learning environment for students and demonstrates the District’s Full Service Community School Model. In addition, LEEC was designed to be the District’s first grid neutral building with solar photovoltaic panels on all four buildings totaling approximately 600 KW.
This project represents the District’s commitment to high quality sustainable facilities for students and the community. LEEC is also a Coalition of High Performance Schools (CHPS) project and was recently certified for Phase 1 at 56 points‐ the highest in the state of California. It also received the Award of Excellence at the 2014 Coalition of Adequate Housing (CASH) Conference and Honorable Mention at the 2014 ASHRAE Technology Conference
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN INITIATIVES:
Among the priorities for the new LEEC were to promote sustainability and minimal impact on the environment. The center itself will be used as a tool to educate its users about green construction / design self‐sustainability.
