Project: Sonoma Academy

Client: Sonoma Academy

Sonoma Academy, a college-preparatory school, occupied space at the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts in Santa Rosa for seven years and moved to its new permanent site on a 34-acre parcel in southeast Santa Rosa just in time to begin classes in the Fall semester of 2008. The current student body of 212 is already utilizing new space in the theater and music building. When the project is finally completed, there will be 23 classrooms and 72,000 square feet of space in three buildings, with the eventual capacity for up to 310 students.

The new campus has an outdoor amphitheater, an organic teaching garden, an art gallery, a gymnasium with capacity for 700, a theater and music building with seating for 150 and fields for soccer or lacrosse. The master plan calls for more buildings in the future to house additional classrooms, a larger theater, a music building and a student center with capacity for up to 450 students.

Brelje & Race provided all the civil engineering services for Sonoma Academy including design and construction documents; tentative map preparation; entitlements; final grading plans; plans for sewer, water, fire protection, storm drainage, and erosion control; surveying; and construction staking.
