Scope of WorkSan Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD), located in northern San Diego County struggled with the investment that would be required to transform, or merely renovate, the existing aging campus. After a lengthy cost-benefit analysis and district-wide master planning process it was decided the campus would be replaced. The replacement middle school for the Earl Warren campus in Solana Beach, California is designed to accommodate approximately 550 students. The campus incorporates an existing County of San Diego Library, replacement of the existing 2,500 SF Warren Hall multi-purpose community building and the proposed SDUHSD Network Operations Center (NOC).
Jennifer participated in the creation of this project from master planning through agency approval, eventually taking on a project manager role during the completion of the construction document phase.
EARL WARREN MIDDLE SCHOOL REPLACEMENT
SAN DIEGUITO UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
In response to the steeply sloped site, the proposal for the physical environment is terraced: On the highest terrace sit the learning environments, the classrooms, reminiscent of beach “cottages” - small, individualized and full of daylight and natural ventilation. This level, complete with a courtyard for outdoor learning, overlooks the “beach” terrace - where the administration welcomes you and hands-on learning (science, music, and art), multi-purpose rooms (complete with surfboard storage), a food court and a joint-use library open to a vibrant public space. The design has a perfect beach vibe - curved roofs recall ocean waves, “weathered wood” siding maintains the beach house feel that served as the inspiration and surfboard details show up as signage, flags and even as shapes in the concrete paving entry. The school mascot, the Seahawks, and school colors are used as accents throughout, including the beach glass that finds its home on the colored concrete beach. The elevator is housed in the “lifeguard tower” where colored LED lighting indicates surfing conditions to the entire community.
Big Idea
LIONAKIS I 2011-2015
Network Operations Center & Interim HousingThe Network Operations Center (NOC) on the Earl Warren Middle School campus was the first phase of the master plan. The scope of work included demolition of the existing food service and multipurpose buildings and construction of the single story network operations center building, grading, including site work related to the accessible path of travel, and utilities. The design and materials of this building set the precendent for the rest of the campus replacement.
In addition to the Network Operations Center, two separate phases of interim housing were constructed to meet the needs of the educational program during the long term construction of the replacement campus.
Since the Earl Warren Middle School campus is within one mile of the ocean, the California Coastal Commission carefully reviewed each phase of the project and worked closely with the design team to meet the Commission’s requirements without extending the schedule of the project.
Jennifer has been deeply involved in each phase of the project, leading the team through agency approval with the California Coastal Commission, District of the State Architect, and California Department of Education. She also worked diligently with the District and contractor to make sure the projects met the needs of the client as well as kept within the provided budget.

The process to develop the Master Plan at Orange High School was inclusive, engaging all key stakeholders - students, staff, alumni, parents, and members of the community. Additionally, the Core Group including OHS Principal, teachers, and parents, as well as District administration, was created to review information and guide key decisions. Throughout the process, stakeholders had the opportunity to share valuable insights, opinions, and comments at Community Workshops and Student/Staff Focus Groups. Newletters were developed to share the results of each Community Workshop and social media was used to reach the larger community with posts on Facebook and Twitter; the District and OHS websites were used to share documents and other important information.
Establishing Priorities - In order to gauge priorities of the stakeholders small groups worked together to come to consensus and make recommendations. Using a Monopoly-style game board and paper money participants “bought” projects that represented their highest priorities.

MULTI-AMBULATORY CARE CENTERHIGH DESERT HEALTH SYSTEM LIONAKIS I 2011-2014
Scope of WorkThe High Desert Regional Health
Center is a full service, 142,365 square
foot outpatient clinic. The new facility is
strategically located in the heart of the
city, creating an instant landmark and
is a replacement of an old aging clinic.
Offering a vast array of medical services,
the center provides a one-stop-shop
for healthcare needs in the region from
pediatrics and general family medicine
to specialty clinics including a women’s
center and an abuse counseling and
treatment center. The scale of the
building offers meeting spaces that are
utilized on the weekend for community
events. The two-story main building
incorporates many sustainable design
principals and is supplemented with
alternative energy generating resources
that minimizes its carbon footprint in
extreme, harsh high desert region. With
LEED Gold certi! cation, sustainable
design features include pre-cast concrete,
glass and metal panels on the exterior
of the building and photovoltaic paneled
covered walkways.
The Lancaster, CA campus consists of a two-story clinical “MACC” buildings and two ancillary facilities buildings.
The GBCI recommended that the project use the Master Site certi! cation process. This process seeks to
streamline building certi! cation efforts by allowing separate building projects within a common, contiguous
campus to use a set of previously accepted prerequisites and credits for their individual project certi! cations.
Notable sustainable site efforts included the project owners implementing a shuttle service to supplement
existing public transportation options and utilizing existing infrastructure with their site selection. 31.26% of the
site is reserved for open space.
Water use reduction is estimated to be reduced by 21.19%. Landscaping water use was reduced by 80.56%.
In energy ef! ciency, the project is estimated to have achieved a 30.79% reduction in energy costs, and offsets
19.89% of total energy costs with on-site photovoltaics. Enhanced commissioning was pursued to help realize
those savingsl. Additional points will be achieved by sourcing 70% of the remaining energy costs with Green
Power.
86% of construction waste was recycled or otherwise diverted. The project included recycled content for 26%
of all building materials; 10% of total building materials were manufactured and sourced within 500 miles of the
site. Additionally, 50% of the wood products used in the building are certi! ed by the Forest Stewardship Council
as being sourced from sustainably managed forests.
To address Indoor Environmental Quality, the project implemented Indoor Air Quality measures both during
construction and prior to occupancy. Low-emitting materials were speci! ed and put into the building. Thermal
and lighting systems were designed to maximize user comfort.

DISTRICT-WIDE MASTER PLANNINGLOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
Master Planning Goals1. Maintain and improve existing high quality buildings by providing an extensive, medium, or
minimum level of modernization.
2. Provide the correct number and type of instructional spaces for the campus population in
permanent buildings by constructing a new two-story classroom building to replace existing
portable classrooms.
3. Provide the basic facilities needed for a population of approximately 341 students which includes
a new sustainable Multi-Purpose/Food Service building.
4. Create quality and cohesive exterior spaces that are interconnected and well landscaped including
outdoor learning areas, gardens, and a student quad.
5. Upgrade and modernize the overall school site including new turf play ! elds, upgraded
hardcourts and play equipment, and a controlled and welcoming entrance with an intentional and
safe drop-off/pick-up zone.
Scope of WorkThis project consisted of the assessment
and master planning of 44 elementary
school campuses within Los Angeles
Uni! ed School District located in Los
Angeles, California. The master plans
were realistc and attainable in their scope,
providing both needed modernization to
each campus and signi! cantly improving
the functionality and community pride at
those schools.
Taking on a project management role,
Jennifer coordinated the master plan
designs, presented to the community and
school boards, and created all graphics
using hand sketches and photoshop
development.
Scope of WorkThrough an inclusive process, parameters were established to ensure an equitable
approach to the master planning of all of the District’s high schools. These parameters
were published in a document called “District-wide Planning Goals for High Schools”. The
standards within the document include some speci! c recommendations regarding the 21st
century learning environment, master planning capacity, classroom loading capacity, and
programmatic guidelines, however, the unique character of each high school is recognized
with respect to their communities, their students, programmatic offerings, as well as their
existing facilities.
Jennifer participated in core group and user meetings, helped write, edit, create graphics,
and organize the ! nal document which was used by a team of architects to guide the
master planning process within the District.
