Document Description
The proposed project is the adoption and implementation of the Berkeley High School Master Plan for the southern portion of the existing high school campus at 2223 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way (campus) and the Berkeley Unified School property, currently being used by the school as a 123-space surface parking lot, located across from the main campus at the intersection of Milvia Street and Bancroft Avenue (Milvia Street site). The Master Plan calls for demolition of some existing on-site structures and approximately 69,000 square feet (sq ft) of new construction in at least three phases:
Phase 1 of the Master Plan would include construction of a two-story stadium building with bleacher seating, about 500 bleacher seats with a restroom, and a one-story facilities building, all on the main campus. Phase 1 may also include construction of a one-story warm-water pool structure and will include a new surface parking lot at the Milvia Street site. Depending upon availability of funding, the 63-space Milvia Street site parking lot may be replaced by a five-level, 280-space parking garage some time in the future.
Phase 2 would include the demolition of the existing Old Gym building on the main campus and construction of a two-story gymnasium structure and two- to three-story, 10- to 15-room classroom building at the site of the Old Gym. Phase 2 would also include construction of a one-story storage structure on the main campus. The new warm-water pool constructed on the Milvia Street site during Phase 1 would serve as a replacement for the existing warm-water pool in the Old Gym building that would be lost as a result of demolition in Phase 2.
Phase 3 improvements are mainly landscaping improvements, including the construction of an athletic quadrant and a regulation softball field, made to the open/recreational spaces and do not involve the addition of more floor area to the school campus.
