Building Blocks.
Improving our Environs.
Our Long Range Facilities Plan serves to transform campus communities into healthier, more equitable places to live and learn.
The Plan celebrates our unique historic, ecological, and cultural assets, while providing space to meet contemporary academic needs and strategic
initiatives – all within a growing urban setting in Santa Clara County. By evolving our built environment, we can address a range of issues including capacity and demographics, campus landscapes, mobility and accessibility, sustainability, and deferred maintenance. The vision for district-wide improvements to our environs is anchored around the following three big ideas.
Building Block One.
Building on Strengths.
We are building our future on a shared vision for whole child growth and development all the way through college and career readiness.
Our Long Range Facilities Plan supports our drive to meet the needs of contemporary learners by aligning with our strategic academic mission. The 2022 District Strategic Plan establishes three strategic priority areas; whole child and whole family development, multicultural and multilingual education, and early and expanded learning. To propel these priorities as our strengths, the Long Range Facilities Plan integrates strategies to improve our environs as a reflection of our priorities and values.

Building Block Two.
Enhancing Student Life.
We are transforming our built environment to better reflect who we are as leaders in a diverse, changing, competitive world.
Our Long Range Facilities Plan is tailored to enhance student life by redesigning learning environments to bolster our academic mission for whole child, whole health development: critical thinking, collaboration, curiosity, and creativity — inside and outside. To guide our campus modernizations based on values and priorities, newly revised Design Guidelines provide an inclusive, collaborative approach to holistic planning.

Building Block Three.
Centering Community.
Giving campus communities center stage, our local programs and partnerships continue to strengthen and grow.
Our Long Range Facilities Plan centers community and life readiness by infusing a call for innovation into all aspects of campus life. For each learner to actualize their full potential, state-of-the-art learning environments will open doors for real world opportunities to discover, explore, and engage in unique passions and interests.
