Innovation Middle School, part of the San Diego Unified School District, has completed a comprehensive Whole Site Modernization designed to accommodate enrollment growth, expand instructional capacity, and improve campus infrastructure in support of academic and extracurricular programs.
New Classroom Construction
The project included construction of a new 36,000-square-foot, two-story classroom building featuring ten classrooms, two locker rooms, restrooms, and administrative offices. Four new portable classrooms were also added to support the introduction of sixth grade.

A raised-platform amphitheater was also added to provide a dedicated space for outdoor assemblies, performances, and school events.
A Modernized Learning Environment
