Elementary School in North/Northeast Clovis

This project proposes a new elementary school in north Clovis to accommodate growth in the City of Clovis. This design incorporates a single-story classroom wing with eight (8) classrooms, a single-story multipurpose room that is approximately 10,000 square-feet, and a single-story gymnasium that is approximately 8,400 square-feet. The school is located north of Shepherd Avenue and east of Willow Avenue in Clovis, California, where the structures will be designed for 115 mph wind speeds, seismic loads and gravity loads. Shallow continuous footings will be used to support the structural loads. The storm water drainage system will rely on natural slope with minimal artificial elevations to achieve the correct frictional slope with a pre-development runoff of 1.5 cfs. A pressurized potable water system will be designed to provide drinking water to the structures and school site at a pressure of 30 to 40 psi. Due to the remote location of the school site, transportation design will complete the design of a two-lane access road with a central turning lane, a two-way stop intersection, and parking to accommodate 129 stalls.
