INDIO, Calif.—Following a year of construction work, Erickson-Hall Construction Co. has successfully delivered the College of the Desert Childhood Development Center in the desert communities east of Greater Los Angeles. The contractor was present for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the 18,000-square-foot facility, which is now open. HMC Architects designed the center, which can host nearly 100 children and nearly 50 staff.

The center is home to two classrooms for toddlers as well as two preschool classrooms. The new center also offers an Early Childhood Education (ECE) classroom as well as observation spaces for College of the Desert students to learn more about how to properly run a learning environment for the children there.

In addition to construction of the facility itself, Erickson-Hall’s team also had to upgrade the site so that utilities are now underground, as well as demolish previously existing structures on the site. The contractor also installed new parking lots to help the school as its students and community continue an upward growth.

“We are honored to have been entrusted with overseeing construction of the College of the Desert Indio’s Childhood Development Center,” Mat Gates, president of Erickson-Hall, said of his firm’s work. “This project will have a long-lasting and positive impact on the children, faculty, college students and surrounding community members who will use these classrooms.

“Erickson-Hall is proud to have built a center that not only serves the next generation of teachers but is a functional and safe place for generations of children to come.”

COVINA, Calif.—Erickson-Hall Construction Company is diving into Covina High School’s pool remodeling to bring the facility up to modern standards in terms of training, community usage and recreation.

Erickson-Hall will be replacing the entire pool and support equipment with an advanced pool and aluminum bleacher seats for 400. The contractor will also be adding LED lighting in the pool itself, as well as updating the scoreboard, installing new fencing and gates, renovating the paving and performing related below-grade utilities upgrades.

“The Covina High School Pool Remodel represents our dedication to providing state-of-the-art facilities that support the holistic development of our students,” said Dr. Elizabeth Eminhizer, superintendent of Covina-Valley Unified School District. “We are excited to be working with Erickson-Hall Construction Company on this initiative as it underscores both of our teams’ commitment to fostering vibrant educational environments where students can thrive both academically and athletically.”

“We are privileged to collaborate with Covina-Valley Unified School District on this transformative project,” added Mat Gates, President of Erickson-Hall. “The revitalized pool will serve as a hub for aquatic activities, promoting physical fitness, teamwork and community connection in Covina. We hope that this space exceeds expectations and enriches the lives of students and community members alike.”

The pool renovation work is expected to finish up by next winter.

HESPERIA, Calif.—General contractor Erickson-Hall Construction Co., along with designer DLR Group, has commenced work on the new Hesperia High School Event Center. The project for the Hesperia Unified School District involves crafting a ground-up 35,000-square-foot facility that will have space to host athletic competitions as well as other events. The district serves the High Desert community of Hesperia, encompassing children from some 140 square miles.

Inside the new Event Center will be a modern stage and 500 spectator seats. In addition to the public gathering space itself, the Event Center will also have classrooms, multi-use spaces and other facilities that will be useful to both the school and the surrounding community. On the outside, Erickson-Hall’s work encompasses re-landscaping the surrounding turf, relocating the school’s existing tennis courts and various other external site work.

The Event Center project is also aimed at equity, with the Hesperia Unified School District aiming to increase opportunities for students who might not have access to them otherwise. Accordingly, the district is making strides toward reaching out to students with disabilities, those who are still learning English, as well as students from low-income homes. Another key element of the district improvement plan is to ensure that mental-health services are part of the high school’s improvement.

Hesperia Unified School District Superintendent David Olney spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony of the collaboration the district enjoys with Erickson-Hall. Olney described the Event Center project as “transformative” for the entire student community.

“The Hesperia High School Event Center will be a cornerstone for academic and community growth, offering a dynamic space that fosters creativity, learning and engagement for both students and the wider community.”

“The Event Center is unique because it introduces a whole different avenue of opportunity for not just the students but also the community,” added president of Erickson-Hall Mat Gates. “The flex area is a prime example of this because it is a multi-functional space for the community to enjoy.

In a subsequent statement emailed to �鶹������ about the construction progress, Erickson-Hall Construction Project Executive David Irwin said the contractor has already achieved two significant milestones by demolishing the old tennis courts as well as prepping the replacement courts, which Irwin said will be ready for the upcoming season.

“After this rainy season, we look forward to getting the masonry and structural steel operations started,” Irwin said of the contractor’s work beyond the courts.

Erickson-Hall has successfully delivered $1.5 billion worth of both college and K-12 construction work. The firm offers such services as construction management, preconstruction, design-build and lease-lendback. A Southern California mainstay since 1998, Erickson-Hall operates from offices in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside and Imperial Counties.

“We are proud to deliver a facility that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of Hesperia Unified School District and the Hesperia community,” said Gates.
