MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – August 20, 2026 – Los Altos School District (LASD) has broken ground on its new San Antonio Campus to serve transitional kindergarten (TK) through eighth grade students. Being delivered by the design-build team of Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA) and Blach Construction, the modern and flexible campus will address increasing enrollment and limited space in the high-performing district.
“We are excited to begin construction on a campus designed to serve students and the broader Mountain View community for generations to come,” said Sandra McGonagle, LASD Superintendent. “This milestone reflects years of thoughtful planning and collaboration, and we are grateful to everyone who has helped bring us to this point. We look forward to seeing this vision take shape and creating an exceptional place for students to learn, grow, and thrive.”
The new 70,000-square-foot campus will comprise six buildings, related outdoor spaces, and athletic fields designed to support students across all grade levels. The project includes 29 classrooms, including specialized TK and kindergarten spaces, an administration wing, library, gymnasium, multi-purpose room (MPR), and a restroom building serving the athletic fields.
LASD elected to utilize Blach, QKA, and GPLA Structural Engineers’ proprietary Folia Ecosystem, a customizable prefabricated building solution designed to improve schedule and cost predictability. The ecosystem’s adaptable structures will deliver core learning, administrative, and library functions in both one-story and two-story structures, along with standalone MPR and gymnasium facilities to complete the cohesive campus environment.
“By utilizing the Folia Ecosystem, we can deliver sustainable, efficient, and highly adaptive facilities that offer the long-term value needed for school districts,” said Amber Emery, Project Executive at Blach Construction. “We are proud to collaborate with LASD and QKA to develop this innovative campus.”
Neighborhood integration and safety are central to the project’s design, benefiting both the school community and surrounding residents. The campus will provide shared recreational amenities, including new athletic fields and a gymnasium for joint use with the City of Mountain View. Dedicated bike lanes, improved circulation, and updated parking routes will further support safe, efficient access for students and families.
“Every feature of the San Antonio Campus has been carefully structured to realize the district’s educational and programming goals,” added Nick Stephenson, QKA Principal. “The design highlights dynamic, student-centric spaces that foster collaboration and discovery, from modern classrooms to joint community areas.”
The City of Mountain View joined forces with LASD, contributing funding to integrate a brand-new, two-acre public park alongside joint-use athletic fields and a gymnasium at the site.
The new campus is expected to be completed by Fall 2028.
