Oak Grove Elementary School

Oak Grove Elementary school serves over 500 students in the North Albany area and a replacement school to help alleviate crowding with both their school and neighboring Fir Grove Elementary was needed. This 68,000 sf structure was originally slated for remodel and expansion of the current building. However, early in pre-construction, it was determined that it was more feasible to demolish and construct a new facility in order to meet the current needs of the district while allowing for future growth.  The new school consisted of a two-story facility including a library, secure entrance, elementary classrooms, common spaces, gymnasium, cafeteria, parking, and play area, with greatly expanded capacity for growing student enrollment.  Construction included a combination of wood structure for the classroom wing and administration area and concrete tilt panels for the gym and cafeteria.
