Renovation of Two Science Labs at Garey High School

The Pomona Unified School District is forecasting a project for the comprehensive interior renovation and modernization of two existing science classroom laboratories at Garey High School, located at 321 W. Lexington Ave, Pomona, California. Classified under NAICS code 236220, the project involves a full scope of interior improvements including the demolition and replacement of lab casework, fume hoods, student workstations, and safety shower and eye-wash stations. Additional critical upgrades include the modernization of HVAC systems for specialized lab ventilation, electrical distribution upgrades to support laboratory equipment, and plumbing modifications for gas and water utilities. The project also encompasses the replacement of interior finishes such as flooring, ceilings, and lighting to ensure the facilities meet current California Building Standards and educational requirements. All proposed activities will take place entirely within the boundaries of the existing campus. The project has been granted categorical exemptions under CEQA Sections 15301 and 15302, as the work consists of minor alterations and the replacement of existing facilities without expanding the use or capacity of the site. The primary point of contact for this effort is Isela Vazquez, the Chief Facilities Officer. The forecast was posted on July 10, 2026, and the associated Notice of Exemption was active from June 29, 2026, to July 29, 2026.
