LUSD breaks ground on north Stockton school

Lodi Unified School District officials held a groundbreaking ceremony Monday for the new Christa McAuliffe Middle School in north Stockton.

The $11.7 million project will feature classrooms and administration offices in two buildings for a combined 83,000 square feet.

Christa McAuliffe Middle is the first California campus to be approved by state architects using tilt-up concrete design, a method commonly used in commercial construction.

Located on Iron canyon and McAuliffe drives, the school is expected to be completed in spring 2004.

The school was designed by Cordoba, Gervin and Schweitzer Architects and Douglas E. Barnhart, Inc. is managing its construction for Lodi Unified.

Christa McAuliffe Middle was one of seven new campuses to be build through Measure K, the district's $109.3 million school bond approved by voters in March.
