An existing MVROP campus was relocated to a new 45,000 sf two-story facility adjacent to Kennedy High School in Fremont, an existing Technology Magnet School.  The master plan allowed the new facility to share programs with the adjacent school.  A direct and securable pedestrian link between the campuses was a key planning component.  Designed for a highly visible corner site, the landmark building is set back from the street and nestles into the gently bermed, landscaped setting.

The architectural design presents a corporate, high tech image for a school program training students for jobs primarily in the local Silicon Valley business environment.  The building houses 18-20 classrooms, some with moveable walls to accommodate a varied and evolving technical curriculum.  Also included in the building is a central administration, student services offices, career center, staff lounge/patio and bookstore.  A two-story central lobby/atrium was designed to serve student, faculty and community events, and provides areas for seating on the first and second floors.  On-grade parking for over 400 cars is hidden from street traffic by berms and landscaping.
