Nile Garden Elementary School Annex Project

The Manteca Unified School District is overseeing the Nile Garden Elementary School Annex Project, located at 5700 E. Nile Avenue in unincorporated San Joaquin County, California. This project involves the construction and operation of an annex campus on an 8.3-acre site to support students in grades 4 through 8, with a design capacity of up to 600 students. The development will consist of four primary buildings and one ancillary structure totaling approximately 56,392 square feet, featuring 22 classrooms, a multipurpose building for assembly and cafeteria use, a compact administrative building, and two learning commons. Additional site improvements include a 1,920 square foot shade structure, 4.74 acres of drought-tolerant landscaping, 1.42 acres of hardscape, and a surface parking area with 83 spaces under a solar canopy. Construction is scheduled to occur in a single phase starting in February 2028 and is expected to be completed by July 2029. All facilities must adhere to the California Building Code, Division of the State Architect standards, and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations for structural safety, fire/life safety, and ADA accessibility. The project has undergone environmental review via an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration to address impacts on air quality, biological resources, and cultural materials. The project also includes the implementation of a new internal student drop-off and pick-up area along the northern edge of the annex buildings, with connecting drive aisles to Union Road and the existing campus circulation system.
