Menifee Union School District has completed a reconstruction work at its Menifee Valley Middle School. The $38 mil, 71.3k sf project transitioned the campus to a magnet school focused on visual and performing arts.
The renovation incorporates critical aspects of an art-focused middle school, the addition of two new classroom buildings, restorations to the Visual and Performing Arts Center, construction of an open-concept library and repairs to existing locker rooms. C.W. Driver Companies was the general contractor for the project.
Located in Riverside County, roughly 15 miles north of Temecula, the project consisted of the reconstruction of temporary portables into new, permanent classrooms and lab spaces that create a centralized academic courtyard and cohesive community. To support Menifee Valley Middle School’s transition to becoming a visual and performing arts magnet school, a new music and choir space, as well as a renovated stage in the Visual and Performing Arts Center, were added. The campus introduces outdoor learning areas as well as active learning spaces optimized for use in the arts, music and sciences known as Flex Labs.
In order to increase student academic performance, research-based lighting design was carefully considered. Large windows adorn the classrooms, allowing for abundant natural light. The school’s new library includes a flexible plan configuration, collaboration spaces to facilitate group work and soft seating areas for students seeking a quiet, comfortable place to study. On the athletic front, renovations to existing locker rooms include ADA upgrades, AV improvements and a washer/dryer addition. The campus features a clean and contemporary façade that is energy efficient and comfortable for students and staff.
Menifee Valley Middle School is conveniently located minutes from the 15 freeway and just five miles from Interstate 215, providing easy access for parents commuting to and from work and proximity to the local Paloma Valley Community Library. C.W. Driver partnered with BakerNowicki Design Studio on Menifee Valley Middle School.
