Will Rogers Learning Community Campus Expansion and Improvement Project

Will Rogers Learning Community Campus Expansion and Improvement Project

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (District) is proposing to expand the campus and make improvements to the Will Rogers Learning Community based on the 2020 Campus Master Plan (Proposed Project). The purpose of the Proposed Project is to expand the campus and implement campus modernization efforts needed to align with the District’s educational specifications. Overall, the Proposed Project would occur over four phases and would result in removal/demolition of 16 permanent and temporary buildings, construction of three new buildings, renovation and reuse of eight existing buildings and outdoor spaces, and reconfiguration of outdoor and parking/transportation areas over an approximate span of 10 to 15 years. Phase 1, which is currently funded, includes removal of six existing portable classrooms and 1 restroom building, construction of a new one-story early education classroom building and associated play yards, and construction of a new play field. Subsequent phases would be constructed as funding becomes available and would include removal of five additional existing modular classrooms, removal of four one-story classroom buildings, expansion and reconfiguration of an existing parking lot, construction of a new student drop-off/pick-up area, repurposing existing classrooms into STEM classrooms, repurposing outdoor spaces into outdoor classrooms, construction of a new multipurpose room/food services facility, installation of a learning garden, construction of a new parking lot, and construction of a new two-story classroom building.
