BCA Architects' Long-Range Master Plan to Bring Brea Olinda Unified School District into a 21st Century Learning Environment

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 29, 2012 — Paul Bunton, president of BCA Architects, presented the final version of the long-range master plan to the Board of Trustees of the Brea Olinda Unified School District. This master plan, when implemented over the next two decades, establishes the vision for continuing the much-needed improvements of the district's facilities that will allow the teaching staff to carry on the important work of educating students in a 21st Century Learning Environment.

BCA began with the systematic evaluation of all of the existing facilities in Brea Olinda Unified School District. This "conditions assessment" set the stage for BCA's Team of Architects to create a road map that outlines both the short and long-term goals allowing the district to align their available funding with the most critical needs including the replacement of older facilities.

The Brea Olinda School Board voted unanimously in February 2012 to place a $54 million General Obligation Bond measure on the June 5, 2012 ballot. They requested their community approve a $10/$100,000 assessed valuation increase in their property taxes to fund the immediate needs of the Brea Olinda School District.

"BCA Architects has prepared a superb long-range master plan for the Brea Olinda Unified School District," said A.J. Roland, superintendent of Brea Olinda Unified School District. "This master plan will bring our schools into the 21st Century Learning Environment and help create the leaders of tomorrow. We are very pleased with Paul Bunton and BCA Architects' work to collaborate in creating this vision for our district."

The master plan will communicate to the Brea Olinda community how the district intends to wisely invest their tax dollars to improve their facilities over the next 8 years. The full master plan can be viewed on BCA's website at http://www.bcaarchitects.com.
