Sleepy Hollow Elementary School Multipurpose Building
Orinda, CA
The new multipurpose building is a gateway to the campus and provides a hub for student activity
The new multipurpose building is strategically positioned at the campus entry, creating a secure and welcoming entrance for the campus. It replaces the former 1950’s building which was deemed unsafe from potential wildfires. The building is designed not only to be a hub of activity and gatherings, but also to serve as a temporary shelter during fire emergencies.
The new 3,360 square-foot building features a stage, full cooking kitchen, basketball court, and in-wall cafeteria tables. The stage includes a folding partition, allowing for simultaneous events and activities in both the stage and the main space.
The project was completed while the campus remained occupied, ensuring minimal disruption to the school’s daily operations.
