Crosby Group provided structural engineering design services for the modernization and addition at the Blossom Hill Elementary School. Two existing one-story wood 16,400sf Classroom buildings were partially demolished down to their structural components, renovated to meet space planning needs, and thoroughly modernized to blend seamlessly with the new campus buildings. In addition to the modernization, the campus added 49,700sf including six new structures with two new 2-story steel moment frame Classroom buildings, two single-story wood Kindergarten buildings, a single-story wood Multi-purpose building, and a one-story wood Administration building.

The new 2-story Classroom buildings provide the much needed classroom space for this impacted School District and include a clerestory down the center of the building, providing abundant daylight to the hallways and filtering through to the Classrooms, and each classroom includes a pop-up roof surrounded in glazing to provide additional daylight spaces to each classroom. A portion of one of the Classroom Buildings houses a new school library with vaulted ceilings and distinct spaces for various learning environments. The Multipurpose Building provides a fully equipped sound stage that serves not only for school performances, but for Community performances as well. It includes a fully functional kitchen to provide lunch to students as well as provide refreshments during performances.
