Lynbrook High School, part of the Fremont Union High School District (FUHSD) in San Jose, Calif., recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new Makerspace Building, according to a news release. The district partnered with Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA) for the building’s design and Blach Construction for building services. The 5,400-square-foot facility was funded through the district’s Measure G bond program.

“As we welcome students into this incredible space this school year, we celebrate a major investment in our district’s educational excellence,” said Graham Clark, FUHSD Superintendent. “Our new Makerspace bolsters Lynbrook High School’s stellar robotics and STEM offerings, deepening our commitment to our families and cementing Lynbrook’s reputation as a premier destination for future leaders and innovators.”

Academic amenities include a building shop, a multi-use classroom, and interior and exterior practice field space for the school’s robotics program, the news release reports. The building’s design incorporates energy-efficiency features like natural daylighting, exterior shading, LED lighting, and electric heat pumps paired with ceiling fans.

“Delivering a purpose-built facility that directly supports STEM and robotics education reflects our mission as community builders,” said Blach Construction Project Executive Amber Emery. “We value our continued partnership with FUHSD and QKA and look forward to seeing how this inspiring new space empowers students.”
