On a sunny Valentine's Day morning, the Orinda Union School District broke ground to start building a new multi-purpose room at Sleepy Hollow Elementary School. The new building was conceived in response to a plan by Moraga-Orinda Fire District Chief David Winnacker to provide a fire-resistant building where students and staff could shelter in the event of a wildfire. Another part of that plan was the installation in 2019 of a 10,000-gallon water tank, which would enable a fire engine to pump water over the building while a fire passed through the area. The 7,000 square foot state-of-the-art building will provide space for physical education, school assemblies, lunch and performances, and features large roll-up doors to provide for indoor-outdoor events. It is expected that the building will be ready for use by Aug. 1, 2023.
