Alten Construction celebrates groundbreaking of McClymonds High School

OAKLAND, Calif. — Alten Construction, a full-service San Francisco Bay Area commercial construction company, recently celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony for the remodel and modernization of McClymonds High School, part of the Oakland Unified School District.

Located at 2607 Myrtle Street in Oakland, the $92.75 million project will include essential upgrades to building systems such as plumbing replacement with lead abatement, seismic improvements, and the modernization of heating, electrical, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

Indoor spaces will be updated with new flooring, wall treatments and upgrades to classrooms, laboratories and sports locker rooms. The cafeteria will also be reconfigured, and outdoor areas will include the construction of a new grandstand, track and field upgrades, code-compliant accessible field bathrooms and concessions, updates to the plaza, garden and outdoor gathering areas.

Additional enhancements will include ADA-compliant ramps at the building entrance and upgrades to the wood shop and after-school program facilities.

Along with the school district on Friday, June 12, McClymonds held a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the milestone, as well as the planning, partnership, and progress that made this Measure Y Bond modernization project possible.

Construction activities on the project are expected to start this month, with a slated completion date of February 2029.
