Exciting progress in Ridgecrest, California, at China Lake Junior High School!
China Lake Junior High School’s new classroom buildings provide more space to support students, empower teachers, and inspire future learning. Colombo is proud to help build spaces where education can thrive.
The project includes two new single-story permanent modular buildings:
• Building C: A 10,980 sf facility featuring three classrooms, a teacher workroom, custodial closets, and student rooms.
• Building E: A 6,865 sf facility featuring six classrooms, storage rooms, a life-skills room designed to support students with disabilities, and restroom.
• Additional improvements include two new basketball courts, 93 new parking spaces – including EV charging stations – and resurfacing of the existing parking areas to repair earthquake-damaged asphalt.
A special thank you to our hardworking project team – Project Manager Jeff Crafton, Project Superintendent Juan Gonzalez, Phase 1 Administrative Assistant Susie Contreras, and Phase 2 Administrative Assistant Priscilla Phillips – for their dedication and hard work in bringing this project to fruition!
