CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY FOR NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL BUILDINGS AT LA JOLLA COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL

July 5, 2005

Construction is now underway for the new Middle School classroom buildings at La Jolla Country Day School (LJCDS), located at 4490 Genesee Boulevard in La Jolla. The new 30,000 square foot Middle School project represents the first phase of a nine-phase master plan update of the 27-acre campus owned and operated by LJCDS, a private K-12 college-prep institution dating back to 1961. B&G Consultants was selected by LJCDS in early 2004 to provide project and construction management services for the overall Middle School building project, which includes on-site relocation of the Kindergarten complex, campus-wide utility infrastructure upgrades and a new synthetic football/soccer field. The new Middle School site and buildings were designed by McGraw Baldwin Architects and will be constructed by Bilbro Construction Company. The Middle School site is located in the heart of the overall campus and consists of 1.5-acres of green landscaping. The buildings are each two-story steel and masonry structures and have been designed to accommodate web-based technology as well as traditional learning techniques. The Middle School project is budgeted at $7.5 million and is scheduled for completion in August 2006.

B&G Consultants has also been retained by LJCDS to manage their new $12 million Academic Center and Library (ACL) project. The ACL project represents phase two of their new 9-phase campus master plan. Design of the ACL is now underway; construction is scheduled to begin in June 2006 and complete in August 2007.
