Stanley G. Oswalt Academy

The Stanley G. Oswalt Academy, a progressive K-8 educational facility, is a forward-thinking, environmentally conscious campus in the Rowland Unified School District in Southern California. Precision provided construction management services for this $41 million project, which began with demolishing nearly all of the existing campus to make way for more than 80,000 square feet of new classrooms, administration spaces, a library, parking lots, landscaping, and more.

New construction on the 10-acre site comprised five metal-framed buildings, each with a complex exterior façade, plus several new classroom wings as well as administrative and multi-purpose buildings.

Low-impact development and sustainable site improvements included reusable water bottle fill-up stations throughout the campus, energy efficient features such as LED lighting fixtures and controls, and a storm water management system that protects and re-uses valuable water resources. As storm water runoff enters this system through an inlet, filter media then captures harmful toxins and pollutants. Once filtered, underground detention cisterns, with a capacity of more than 7,000 cubic feet, store the runoff, which can be reused for irrigation.
