Set within the dynamic landscape of Houston, Texas, Ridgecrest Elementary School stands as a testament to progressive educational infrastructure and efficient construction management. Developed under the aegis of Spring Branch ISD, this 86,000 square foot institution was conceptualized as a replacement school, aiming to redefine the standards of contemporary schooling. Spanning three meticulous phases of construction, Gamma’s expertise shone through as they constructed the new edifice on the existing school’s footprint. Remarkably, this was achieved with the school remaining fully operational, a testament to precise planning and execution. Upon completion in August 2010, the old building was retired, making way for this modern marvel. The new campus showcases an array of features, from a cutting-edge library and spacious classrooms to a versatile SPARK park – an outdoor learning space. A vibrant cafeteria paired with a state-of-the-art kitchen, along with well-designed administrative offices, complement the school’s vision. Entrusted to the architectural maestros at Pfluger Associates, Ridgecrest Elementary encapsulates the commitment of Spring Branch ISD towards fostering a conducive and innovative educational environment.
This was a new 86,000 square foot replacement school for Spring Branch ISD. It was completed in three phases. Gamma built the new school on the existing site while school was in operations and once completed in August, 2010, then demolition of the existing building began. It consists of a new library, cafeteria, kitchen, classroom, SPARK park and administrative offices.
