Cafeteria, Gymnasium, Industrial Arts Building and Theater Modernization

San Mateo Union High School District | Burlingame, CA

In need of a major modernization, the gymnasium and locker rooms were renovated including adding a new lobby with concessions. The undersized cafeteria and kitchen were also expanded and renovated including all new kitchen/serving facilities. A short time later, as part of the District’s Measure M bond, QKA renovated a two-story Industrial Arts classroom building and installed seismic upgrades to the historic Burlingame High School theater. In addition to classes in ceramics, art, design and manufacturing, the building includes a multimedia graphics lab. The renovated theater and backstage improvements maintain the traditional character of the original auditorium and preserve the WPA (Works Progress Administration) murals in the corridor.
