This comprehensive project on Catalina Island transforms Avalon School into a modern, safe, and energy-efficient learning and recreational environment. Central to the project is the construction of a new all-weather sports field, designed for maximum playability and safety. The field features permeable turf that drains quickly in wet conditions, allowing extended use and reliable performance throughout the year.
The campus upgrades also include a new energy-efficient HVAC system for the school’s existing permanent structures, ensuring improved comfort and sustainability. Significant renovations at Avalon School encompass the conversion of the existing shop building into dynamic learning spaces, including a snack bar and teacher’s lounge, as well as new fencing, visitor screening, and an advanced intrusion detection system to enhance campus security.
Additional school-wide improvements include:
- Kitchen renovation for modernized food service
- New audiovisual systems with overhead projectors and screens
- Updated flooring, ceilings, lighting, and paint to refresh classrooms and common areas
- Window replacement or repair for improved energy efficiency and comfort
- Accessibility upgrades to ensure inclusive learning environments
- Fire alarm system upgrades for enhanced safety
- Other targeted renovations to optimize campus functionality
This project represents a comprehensive enhancement of Avalon School, combining modern educational facilities, state-of-the-art security, and premier athletic amenities to create a safer, more functional, and inspiring environment for students, staff, and the community.
