As a result of 2016 bond funding, Burbank is benefiting from significant campus improvements that are already well underway. PBK Garza Bomberger & Associates and Morganti/Casias are collaborating on the project.
Designing a new main building provides a great opportunity to give the students a campus to take pride in. Linking the existing campus with a newly designed building is an exciting part of the process. The design team reviewed the existing floor plans with the principal and discussed programming needs, building flow and phasing. Later, the auditorium will be targeted for renovation. Read all about the Burbank campus improvements on our blog.
