Exciting updates took place over the last few months at Walnut Creek School District! We are thrilled to announce that construction commenced at Buena Vista Elementary School as part of a full-campus modernization project.
This transformative effort includes upgrades throughout the entire campus—new classroom finishes, improved electrical and lighting systems, and enhanced natural lighting in learning spaces. An addition to the administration building will establish a new and secure front entrance, redefining the face of the campus. The project also features significant site improvements, including shaded outdoor learning environments, upgraded play areas, ADA enhancements, and brand-new kindergarten and TK classroom buildings and playgrounds.
This past summer’s work is focused on site improvements and the construction of new K-TK classroom buildings—marking the first phase of a two-summer transformation that will bring lasting benefits to the Buena Vista community. We look forward to sharing progress on the next phase as we continue building a brighter future for the Buena Vista community!

Things got a little... un-stapled this Halloween!
Our office supplies got spooky creative this Halloween. The desks are crawling with frightfully fun office-supply creatures. Proof that a little imagination goes a long way toward making the workspace a bit more boo-tiful!

Parkmead Elementary School has officially unveiled its stunning campus transformation, and HY Architects is proud to have led the charge. As part of the Walnut Creek School District’s Measure J Bond Program, the school now features fully modernized classroom buildings, upgraded portables, and refreshed spaces like the library and multipurpose building. The redesigned main office enhances campus security while creating a more welcoming entrance for students and families.
One of the most exciting additions is a brand-new transitional kindergarten classroom, replacing an older portable and anchoring a vibrant early education zone. New playgrounds and outdoor learning environments bring energy and creativity to the campus, supporting student well-being and exploration. Improvements to parking, campus access along Newell Avenue, and lush landscaping round out the upgrades, making Parkmead Elementary School a safer, more inclusive, and inspiring place to learn.

World Architecture Day is celebrated every first Monday of October, to appreciate the great architectural works of the ancient and modern worlds and the super brilliant people who design them.
In 1985, the International Union of Architects created World Architect Day to “remind the world of its responsibility for the future of the human habitat.” The day perfectly coincides with World Habitat Day.

We’re proud to celebrate the opening of the new Excelsior Clinic—a vital addition to the Mission neighborhood and Latinx community, offering accessible dental and primary care services. Operated by Mission Neighborhood Health Center, this community-focused clinic is located within a low-income housing complex and was made possible through a partnership with Bridge Housing and the City of San Francisco. After evaluating 11 potential sites and navigating complex city approvals, the team successfully delivered a welcoming, purpose-built healthcare space designed to meet the needs of underserved residents.
