Cajon Park Junior High
Santee, Calif.
Barnhart Balfour Beatty is overseeing construction and construction management for the modernization of nine elementary schools in the Santee School District. The Cajon Park School is the first to be completed and is a $10-million, 18-classroom addition to Cajon Park School in Santee, Calif. that houses 450 students in grades 5 through 8.
The 32,823 SF, two-story building is adjacent to the existing 42,000 SF Cajon Park School campus currently undergoing $6.7 million in modernization covering K-4 classrooms, offices, library/technology center, kitchen and bathrooms. The new Cajon Park junior high addition is the first new classroom building for the Santee School District since 1960.
Designed to meet standards for green building construction, the new school building’s energy-conserving features control the amount of sunlight entering the rooms and electricity needed to power light fixtures. Drought-resistant plants cut down water use while recycled ceramic tile and carpeting reduce waste.
