Del Mar, CA (September 26, 2024) – Erickson-Hall Construction Co., has joined forces with Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) to transform Del Mar Hills Academy. Construction commenced in June marking the start of a modernization project that will bring a new look to the campus. Construction is slated to be completed next summer so students and staff will return for the 2025-26 school year to new cutting-edge learning spaces that set them up for academic success.
“The Del Mar Union School District is excited to begin the Del Mar Hills Academy Modernization! This project will bring much-needed improvements to one of our district’s oldest schools, as we create modern, flexible learning spaces that will benefit our students, staff and community now and for years to come,” said Holly McClurg, Superintendent of the Del Mar Union School District. “We are pleased to continue our partnership with Erickson-Hall Construction Co., a trusted partner recognized for completing projects on schedule, with a focus on collaboration and quality.”
The project includes upgrading the school’s entire 44,000 square-foot classroom building, adding new playground equipment and removing old portable classrooms. The modernization goes beyond aesthetics, with a focus on functionality to best serve its students. DMUSD held multiple meetings to engage community members, staff and students to provide feedback on designs to ensure that the spaces align with the community’s vision. These renovations will elevate the school environment to nurture learning, inspire creativity and increase work environments for students and staff.
The Del Mar Union School District selected Erickson-Hall as a partner in January 2023, reflecting the district’s commitment to providing its students with the best possible learning spaces. Erickson-Hall has an extensive portfolio of constructing educational spaces and building K-12 schools.
“We are thrilled to be a part of these innovative renovations to the Del Mar Hills Academy that will have a significant impact on the Del Mar community,” said Mat Gates, President of Erickson-Hall Construction Co. “Upgraded educational spaces are instrumental in creating conducive learning environments and providing student access to the necessary tools and opportunities for growth. We are proud to partner with such a forward-thinking district and look forward to completing this project in time for students to experience the new facilities next school year.”
