Most Orinda Union School District buildings were originally constructed in the 1950s and have served students well, according to OUSD Superintendent Carolyn Seaton, but it is time to plan for the schools of the future.
To begin the long-term facilities master planning process, OUSD has partnered with the architectural firm LPA, Inc. LPA has collaborated with several high performing school districts across California to design long-term facilities master plans. These plans feature school facilities that multiply the possibilities for teaching and learning far beyond the four walls of a traditional classroom, Seaton says.
Seaton has reached out to the OUSD community, seeking their input. OUSD understands that an effective long-term facilities master plan must be built on a foundation of district, student, parent, and local community input. To that end, OUSD is inviting people to attend one or more of the following FMP Site Community Meetings beginning Sept. 14 at Orinda Intermediate School (see complete schedule below).
School Site: Date/Time: Location:
OIS 9/14 from 6-8 p.m. Room 22 (Art Room)
Del Rey 9/26 from 6-8 p.m. MPR
Glorietta 9/27 from 6-8 p.m. MPR
Sleepy Hollow 9/26 from 6-8 p.m. MPR
Wagner Ranch 9/27 from 6-8 p.m. Library
In the next few weeks, OUSD will launch a website on which all facilities master planning information will be available.
