Center Street School Library Remodel Supports Commitment to Literacy

Architectural renderings of the remodeled Center Street School Library. The El Segundo Unified School District has developed a thriving culture of reading through its successful elementary literacy program. Literacy is the prominent thread that runs through all our educational programs, so it is fitting that the Center Street School Library/ Media Center is currently receiving a complete remodel courtesy of the Measure ES facilities bond. The library refresh project began in Spring 2021 and is targeted for completion by the end of this summer. “We are excited to give our youngest readers an inviting space better suited to their evolving needs,” said ESUSD Superintendent Melissa Moore. ESUSD values its elementary literacy program, and we are delighted to offer this reimaged library as an engaging and comfortable place to encourage Center Street students to read and discover new stories.” The library remodel will create an interior that is flexible, accessible, and user-friendly for students, staff, and parents. Upgrades include new flooring, replacement of the existing ceiling with acoustical ceiling tile, updated lighting, and fully renovated restrooms. Several interior walls have been sandblasted to restore the beauty of the original brick. The library will receive all new furniture for comfort and flexible use of the space. The design incorporates a variety of comfortable studying and reading areas designed to encourage students to immerse themselves in their favorite books and facilitate learning. Adults and students alike will enjoy the new space that will serve as both the student library and a meeting space for faculty and parents.

Center Street School Entry Driveway Upgrade Provides Improved Safety and Accessibility

Design schematic for renovation and enhancements to Center Street School’s front driveway. Center Street School will also receive major renovations to the front drop-off and pick-up lane. The entire driveway will be re-graded and widened to improve ADA access, pedestrian safety, and traffic flow. This Measure ES project will begin in Fall 2021 with completion targeted for Spring 2022. Before construction commences, temporary drop-off/pick-up plans will be disseminated to parents. The primary goal is to increase student safety where pedestrians and vehicles converge during student drop-off and pick-up. The sidewalk along the west edge of the driveway will be widened and a new sidewalk will be added to the driveway’s east edge. The redesign provides clear paths for pedestrian travel on all sides and includes the addition of a raised crosswalk for safe crossing through the center of the driveway. Drivers will have better crosswalk visibility through the elimination of parking spaces that create blind spots. The balance between improved access and safety and school aesthetics was incorporated into the design, which includes landscaping and preservation of existing trees. For pedestrians approaching from Center Street and East Palm Avenue, there will be a new set of front stairs and an ADA switch-back ramp with gradual incline to the north of the stairs. Improvements to the parking area near the main office include 11 additional parking spaces and two ADA parking spots. All Measure ES projects are reviewed by ESUSD’s Facilities Advisory Committee and key stakeholders for thoughtful input during the early design stages.
