The new district office building of the Orinda Union School District is officially complete. District staff have been unpacking and settling in since relocating June 27 from their temporary offices. Construction of the new 7,500-square-foot structure was made possible when Pulte Homes purchased the site where OUSD's old Pine Grove Intermediate School first opened its doors in 1956. Closed in 1975 due to lagging enrollment, the site then became the campus for John F. Kennedy University which operated there until relocating to Pleasant Hill in 2004. As part of its $19.5 million purchase of the parcel from OUSD, Pulte agreed to build a new district office building. The firm is now currently developing 66 single-family and eight duplex homes at Orinda Grove. OUSD plans to use the funds garnered from the sale for future capital improvements.
