"Sierra Vista Junior High School"

Osborn Architects

Years of increased student population at Sierra Vista Junior High School have resulted in a campus congested with temporary portable buildings, crowding much of the once open space. The campus, initially designed as a high school, was subsequently divided to accommodate a junior high school. The architects were given the task of creating 19,000 sf of permanent buildings to replace the patchwork of temporary buildings, and to give the junior high school a distinct identity from the rest of the campus. The buildings include a two-level 16-unit classroom building, an administration building, and a restroom building that fit strategically into the campus, creating a new courtyard in between the new and existing buildings.
