Wedgeworth K-8 Mandarin Immersion School Project Underway

  • 03/19/18

Hacienda La Puente USD has awarded PBK Architects the new Wedgeworth K-8 Mandarin Immersion School project. Hacienda La Puente USD is one of the largest suburban school districts in California, encompassing more than 19,000 students. The District’s leadership anticipates that Wedgeworth will stand as a marquee school for the community.

Wedgeworth K-8 Mandarin Immersion School

PBK was added to the District’s roster in the summer of 2017 and has been working with the district to identify matching funds for their high school’s Career Technical Programs, as well as modernizing Cedarlane Academy, a unique Korean and Chinese immersion school. PBK completed a series of interviews, several community meetings, a handful of presentations, and a final design competition prior to being awarded the project by the District. This will be PBK’s first new, ground-up project in southern California.
