KENWOOD, Calif., May 18, 2026 – Kenwood Elementary School District recently celebrated the completion of a multi-phase project delivering modernized facilities and a new Transitional Kindergarten (TK) Classroom Building at Kenwood Elementary School. Funded through local Bond Measure F, the projects were designed by Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA) and built by RidgeviewBuilders (Phase One) and FRC, Inc. (Phase Two).
“As a single-school district, the School Board prioritized allocating Bond Measure F funds to projects that would offer the greatest benefit to both the school and the community,” stated Principal and Superintendent Nate Myers. “These new facilities will bring substantial advantages to all of our students and faculty, both returning and new. We extend our gratitude to the community and project team for their dedication in bringing these projects to fruition.”
The comprehensive campus upgrades at Kenwood Elementary School involved modernizing existing facilities and adding new modular structures by American Modular Systems, executed in two phases.
Phase One focused on the modernization of classrooms and the school’s multi-use kitchen. Essential infrastructure improvements included the replacement of the mechanical and roof systems on the main building. New construction in this phase featured a new custom modular building that houses a sixth-grade classroom and a dedicated Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) Lab. Furthermore, the existing computer lab was reconfigured into a resource specialist program (RSP) classroom and office.
Phase Two introduced further site-wide improvements and modernization of administrative and office spaces. Key additions in this phase included a 2,880 square-foot covered outdoor lunch area and a new 1,350 square-foot custom modular TK classroom building adjacent to a new outdoor play yard. Additionally, this phase included a new playground and playfield for the lower grade classes, a covered walkway and parking improvements.
“This multi-phase project provides students with new and modernized age-appropriate learning environments and play areas, ensuring the campus can effectively serve its youngest learners, which is vital for the future of the district,” said Kevin Chapin, QKA principal and Kenwood alumni.
