Summer construction is in full swing at Cordova Villa Elementary School in Folsom Cordova Unified School District! Over the past month, significant progress has been made on site, including the demolition of existing site features, installation of underground utilities and coordination with SMUD for new electrical infrastructure. Crews have also completed rough grading and mass earthwork to prepare for new utility lines, mains and service connections, as well as begun preparing the building pads for the two new facilities.
A unique aspect of this project is the construction of the new administration and classroom building adjacent to the existing administration facility, affectionately known as the “spaceship.” Because the new building is being constructed in close proximity to the existing structure, helical piles have been installed to reinforce and stabilize the existing foundation. These piles help prevent settlement and maintain the integrity of the existing footings during construction.
Once complete, Cordova Villa Elementary School will feature a new administration and classroom building, an expanded parking and student drop-off area, replacement of an existing classroom and administration building, interior classroom modernizations and a new central courtyard designed to enhance the campus experience.
