Nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Shell Beach, California, Shell Beach Elementary School enjoys a breathtaking location perched between the serene Pacific Ocean and the rolling hills of California. However, the school recognized the need for a series of campus upgrades, primarily focused on the construction of a brand-new Multi-Purpose Room (MPR). The initial phase of this transformative project centered on reconfiguring the student drop-off areas and school parking lot to prioritize student safety and streamline traffic flow.

The Project:

Lucia Mar USD Shell Beach Elementary MPR Building & Sitework

The Work

This project encompassed a substantial transformation, starting with the meticulous demolition of an existing structure, the installation of underground utilities, and various ancillary site improvements. Edwards Construction Group took the lead in self-performing critical early-stage trade work, involving underground utilities, concrete work, and robust framing.

The heart of the project was the construction of a modern, 4,960 square foot MPR building. This state-of-the-art facility boasted a fully-equipped kitchen, a versatile stage with a cutting-edge sound system, dedicated student restrooms, and a spacious multipurpose area.

The MPR serves as a dynamic space, accommodating a variety of school functions, including assemblies, a cafeteria for students, and indoor recreational activities on rainy days.

Notably, the project was successfully concluded in the summer of 2022, precisely within budget and on schedule. It was delivered in a timely manner, allowing students to eagerly embrace the newly revitalized space for the start of their Fall 2022 school year, where they can fully enjoy its benefits.
