Nuview Union School District completes Mountain Shadows Middle School permanent campus

Permanent campus completed after ten years in portable classrooms

The Nuview Union School District, middle school students, representatives from the offices of Senator Ray Haynes, Assemblyman Dennis Hollingsworth, and Riverside County Supervisor Jim Venable, Construction Manager Barnhart, Inc., and Trittipo & Associates Architects held a ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony today for a $16.2 million permanent campus for Mountain Shadows Middle School.

The new 100,000 square foot middle school in the Nuevo community houses students in grades 6-8. Mountain Shadows had been operating in portable buildings for the past twelve years. The school was constructed on a 6.6-acre site adjacent to the existing campus. Construction took 15 months.

The school was designed by Trittipo & Associates and Barnhart, Inc., is the Construction Manager for the district.

School district officials are excited about the new campus. Dr Jay Hoffman, Superintendent for the district commented, "The students and the community have waited twelve years for this. We believe once the students are settled in their state-of-the-art facility, they will agree this campus is well worth the wait!"

The school features seven buildings, including classrooms, science labs, multi-purpose room, kitchen facilities, locker rooms, library and administrative offices. The school will include energy-efficient building materials as well as the latest innovations in instructional technologies.
