Piñon Elementary School

Jaynes is working alongside Los Alamos Public Schools and Dekker/Perich/Sabatini for the Piñon Elementary school project. The old school buildings will be replaced with the new 60,000 square foot building.

In addition to classrooms, a library, and staff space, the new building will include a full-service kitchen and an enhanced gymnasium for shared-use with the residents of Los Alamos County. The site will include new, separate playgrounds for Pre-K/Kindergarten and 1st through 5th graders including basketball courts, a turf athletic field and an amphitheater. Additional site work for this project includes drainage improvements, water and sewer lines replaced the full distance to the main lines, security system and site lighting for building and site security, new defined play areas, landscaping and irrigation systems, new shaded outdoor eating and group gathering area, and parking lots including new parent drop off/pick-up and bus loop. These additions are vital to the Los Alamos community, as the community has outgrown their current school.

Our BIM department is involved in this project through completing building systems (MEP) modeling and coordination. Jaynes Structures Concrete is self-performing all concrete work for the Piñon Elementary project, catering to the legacy of what we build today, and also to what the future will be for Los Alamos’ next generation of citizens.
