At its April 15 public meeting, the Board of Education approved the schematic design for the new gynmnasium at Encinal Jr. & Sr. High School.
Designed by Quattrocchi Kwok Architects, the new gym will include a basketball court, striping for volleyball and other sports, bleachers, a lobby with restrooms, a weight room, support spaces, and a courtyard with benches and bike parking. Funding will come from AUSD’s Measure B and, potentially, Proposition 2 (a state bond measure for schools approved by voters in 2024).
Construction is expected to begin in June, 2026, be complete by September, 2027, and cost $21.3 million.
Encinal is also receiving a new stadium and playing field (under construction now), and the old gym (including the stage) will be
upgraded. A site-wide modernization was completed in 2022.
The Board voted 5-0 to approve the design.
