Stauffer Middle School New Classroom Building

Huckabee began a partnership with the Downey USD in 2015 to provide Architectural services for the district’s Measure O bond program. In addition to providing these services, Huckabee was invited to also provide PM / CM services. In the last five years, Huckabee has delivered numerous projects district wide and was recently selected from a pool of architects to design and construct one of the last projects of the Measure O bond program: a new classroom building for Stauffer Middle School.

The Measure O bond program has helped the district transform its 20 schools into modern, 21-century learning environments. Stauffer Middle School, in particular, was honored with the National School to Watch award for being a high-performing school. To complete the renovation of Stauffer Middle School, Huckabee constructed a new two-story, 15-classroom building. Designed through engagement with the district and staff, the new classroom building features modern learning environments with ample natural daylighting, outdoor learning opportunities, and an inviting plaza for students to gather in.

The new classroom building, located at the end of a circulation pathway, unifies the campus by connecting the entrance of the middle school with the athletic facilities and existing classroom buildings. Students at Stauffer Middle School now enjoy engaging learning spaces inside and outside the classroom.
