Laurel School Lower Campus New Construction and Modernization Project

The Menlo Park City School District is undertaking the Laurel School Lower Campus New Construction and Modernization Project located at 95 Edge Road in Atherton, California. This comprehensive modernization effort involves the demolition of three classroom buildings, one administrative building, and one multipurpose building to make way for new facilities. The new construction includes a two-story classroom and administration building totaling approximately 34,167 square feet with nearly 10,000 square feet of exterior walkways, as well as a new 7,614 square foot multipurpose building. Additionally, the project includes minor renovations to an existing classroom building and a preschool building, resulting in a total of 25 classrooms on campus. The scope of work extends to site-wide improvements, including new landscaping, pedestrian pathways, accessibility upgrades, and electrical enhancements featuring a Battery Energy Storage System to comply with the 2022 Energy Code. The project must adhere to Public Facilities and Schools District zoning and the Town of Atherton Heritage Tree Ordinance, which protects 46 identified trees on site. Compliance requirements include adherence to DSA standards, air and water quality regulations, and specific noise limits for the energy storage system. The project is currently categorized as a forecast under NAICS code 236220, with Sandra Franco serving as the primary point of contact.
