SEBASTOPOL, Calif. — Students at Analy High School in Sebastapol, Calif., are taking classes in a new 15,000-square-foot career technical education center funded by local Measure A bonds. The single-story facility can accommodate up to 371 occupants.
Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA) led design, and GCCI handled construction for West Sonoma County Union High School District. The district marked the project’s completion with a Sept. 29 ribbon-cutting ceremony, according to an announcement from the firms.
Instruction spans engineering, welding, design thinking, culinary and hospitality arts, and agricultural sciences. A fabrication studio houses advanced welding equipment, while a culinary arts center includes auxiliary preparation areas. Additional spaces include agricultural science classrooms, a technology lab, two flex classrooms, a collaboration room and gender-neutral restrooms.
The district’s female-led facilities team managed the project. District administrators, Analy educators and the design and construction teams collaborated on the studios and classrooms, with the aim of matching teaching spaces to current industry standards and local workforce needs.
“We wanted to build a flexible, inspiring space where students can dive straight into hands-on learning,” said Kevin Chapin, a principal at QKA. “Seeing students step into these studios and immediately engage with the materials and technology is the ultimate validation of this work.”
According to the release, the project’s energy efficiency exceeds Title 24 standards for building energy efficiency.
The new center is intended to expand access to technical education and support workforce development in West Sonoma County.
“Having access to modern spaces and industry-grade tools gives our students the exact foundation they need to pursue their interests and master practical skills,” said district Superintendent Chris Meredith.
