The Facilities, Planning & Construction Department is
responsible for the planning and construction of all schools and ancillary
facilities within the Colton Joint Unified School District.
The department includes the development of district projects
and coordinating and funding the construction, expansion, modernization of
schools within the district, and short- and long-range facilities planning. Facilities
also coordinates with other departments for maintaining school boundaries and
enrollment projections. Facilities
interacts with local, State and Federal agencies on all issues pertaining to
planning, development, finance, environmental impacts, population growth, and
construction. In addition, Facilities identifies the myriad of funding sources
available to make significant capital improvements at our campuses. Working
closely with architects and engineers, Facilities assists in developing
detailed plans and specifications which must meet very stringent requirements.
Construction activities include performing work at schools
and ancillary facilities that involve working closely with architects,
engineers, and contractors to successfully complete projects that meet the
state and district standards for school facility construction. Knowledge of
state building codes is necessary to make sure our students are housed in
structurally sound, safe, and universally accessible buildings.
