Nystrom Modernization and Expansion
Nystrom Elementary School
Richmond, CA
Interactive Resources is providing Master Planning and comprehensive design services for the modernization and expansion of the historic Nystrom Elementary School for the West Contra Costa Unified School District.  When completed, the project will include a complete modernization of the historic 2-story classroom building, originally constructed in 1942 to support the adjacent Kaiser shipyards as well as the construction of a brand new 13,000 square foot state-of-the-art multi-use building which will double as a community center for the Nystrom neighborhood. The entire campus is being renovated and redesigned as part of this project, including all parking and play areas. The school is being designed to meet all the criteria of the Collaborative for High Performance Schools program, and will feature integrated photovoltaic solar panels on the roof of the new building.
