Funded by Bond Measure GG, the 35,000 sq.ft. project adds 23 adaptable classrooms, five student breakout spaces, an art classroom, a dedicated teacher collaboration space, and a 23,000 sq.ft. landscaped outdoor courtyard to the campus. 

The new seventh and eighth-grade classroom wing is part of a larger modernization and new construction project on the campus, which was originally built in 1961. The buildings were designed by Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA), in collaboration with LPA, Inc., and constructed by Blach Construction.

The new classrooms will feature Healthier learning spaces, built with high-quality air circulation, natural light, and low-emission materials to support student well-being. Sustainable design reduces energy use, lowering long-term costs and benefiting the environment. Modern learning environments with flexible, technology-ready spaces built to support today’s teaching methods and future needs.

Estimated Completion Date Fall 2027

Phase 2 of the Sunnyvale Middle School modernization is underway, focusing on the deconstruction of older buildings to prepare the campus for a new approximately 80,000-square-foot facility that will include a Student Union and dedicated classrooms for sixth-grade students.

This phase is part of a larger modernization effort designed to create modern, eco-friendly, and collaborative learning spaces across the Sunnyvale Middle School campus. The overall project includes plans for a new Administration building, a sixth-grade classroom wing, and a new Student Union to support student learning and campus life.

Sustainability remains a key priority, with features such as solar panels and bioretention basins incorporated into the design. Earlier phases of the project have already delivered new two-story classroom buildings that support innovative teaching and learning.

 

Timeline of Sunnyvale Middle School Modernization Project

December 15 Town Hall Recap: Sunnyvale Middle School Modernization Update

 

At the December 15 neighborhood town hall, the district team shared updates on the Sunnyvale Middle School modernization project, providing community members with an overview of the project’s current progress and upcoming steps.

During the meeting, attendees were shown architect-created renderings of the proposed new student union building, along with early design concepts for the front of the campus.

A significant portion of the discussion focused on the front-of-campus layout and design. The district reviewed plans related to landscaping, bicycle parking, vehicle parking and drop-off areas, and fencing layout. The proposed design increases the total parking count, improves student pedestrian safety, and establishes a clearly defined zone for school bus pick-up and drop-off. Overall, the design direction received encouraging and positive feedback from community members in attendance.

The conversation also looked ahead to upcoming work and project timelines. The team reviewed different approaches for the relocation of blacktop areas, noting that this element of the project is still being studied and refined.

In addition, an overall project timeline was shared, including updates on the current construction schedule and preliminary target dates for future phases of the modernization.

Throughout the meeting, the district emphasized its commitment to open and transparent communication and encouraged neighbors to stay engaged by using the provided links and contact information to share questions, feedback, or ideas as the project moves forward.
