The Irvine Unified School District Facilities Planning and Construction Department works collectively on a variety of projects for the District.  In addition to planning and overseeing the construction of new schools, and modernizing existing schools, the department works diligently with the Education Services Department to establish enrollment projections, making recommendations for new schools, attendance boundary changes, and accommodating growth at existing schools.

IUSD's Facilities Planning and Construction department has made significant improvements to existing school sites and has constructed three new schools in the past five years.  Alderwood Basics Plus at Quail Hill, Vista Verde at Turtle Ridge, and Woodbury Elementary have been constructed and over $60 million in modernizations have been completed at nine of the oldest District facilities.

Currently, the District has four new schools planned over the next four years, expansion at two of our existing high schools, and modernization of nine other schools, in addition to a variety of other projects throughout the District.

As part of the department’s Facilities Master Plan, it is the goal of the IUSD Facilities Planning department to achieve the following:

• To identify and analyze information that documents the District’s school facilities needs;
• To plan school facilities which meet the needs of the community and its stakeholders and supports grade level articulation through the school family alignment;
• To create facilities standards throughout the District; and
• To establish an ongoing planning process that best positions the District to meet ever-changing facilities needs.
