WHAT WE DID
Alder Creek Elementary School, New Design, Folsom, CA
Construction is underway for the new $62 million Alder Creek Elementary School, part of the Folsom Cordova Unified School District. Alder Creek’s design closely resembles the district’s prototype school, Mangini Ranch Elementary School, and includes a single-building multi-story campus. This new adaptation simplified design features from Mangini Ranch using flat roofs in lieu of multiple sloped roof planes, incorporation of steel detailing simplifications, and the elimination of the Outdoor Lab structure.
