San Ramon Elementary School Multi-Purpose Room Nearing Completion

It’s taken nearly 45 years but a multi-purpose room for San Ramon Elementary School is in sight.  Built in 1968, San Ramon did not have a multi-purpose room as it was built during the open classroom era.  The classrooms were clustered in groups or pods with partial walls dividing the classrooms and each classroom cluster had a common area in the middle.  Over time, teachers wanted to close off their classrooms and walls and bi-fold walls were added. 

Staff, parents and students have been very patient waiting for a multipurpose room.  The Board of Trustees approved the contract to GCCI, Inc. on June 19, 2012, for $1,874,000.  It is projected to be completed around May 1, 2013, and a ribbon cutting ceremony has been tentatively scheduled for May 10, 2013.
