Analy High School, part of the West Sonoma County Union High School District (WSCUHSD) in Sebastopol, Calif., recently broke ground on a new Career Technical Education (CTE) Building, according to a news release. The 15,000-square-foot facility will offer specialized facilities for students in engineering, welding, culinary arts, agricultural sciences, and design thinking. The district partnered with Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA) for the project’s design and GCCI for construction.

Amenities will include a fabrication studio with built-in welding equipment; dedicated classrooms for innovative technology, science, agriculture, and culinary skills; collaboration rooms and prep rooms; three flex classrooms; utility spaces; and storage, according to the news release.

“This new facility represents a significant investment in our students’ futures,” said WSCUHSD Superintendent Chris Meredith. “These modern, well-equipped spaces will allow students to explore their passions and develop the specialty skills needed for success. Thank you to the community for its continuous support in making this project a reality, and our dedicated project team for guiding us through this process.”

Work also includes improvements to the adjacent site, as well as paving and landscaping to merge the new facility into a single cohesive campus environment. The project will cost an estimated $27 million, with funding coming through local Measure A bond funds, the news release reports.

“We are proud to partner with the West Sonoma County Union High School District on this transformative project,” said Kevin Chapin, QKA Principal. “We aim to foster innovation through design and these spaces will facilitate the expansion of important career-readiness programming on campus.”
