Q2 2026 Project Update

Develop Interior and Exterior Signage

March 

The Campus Project Team is assessing interior signage recommendations presented by the Design Team based on the potential budget available to complete this portion of the project. Implementation for this scope of work is anticipated to start June 2026. 

April

Close-out is underway for the exterior portion of the project. A Notice of Completion is expected to be presented to the Board of Trustees in May for its consideration.

For the interior signage, KYA Group addressed the final budgetary cost by  completing value engineering to remove non-essentail items from the current scope of work. Additionally, small signage elements will be coordinated with APCO to minimize costs. Implementation is expected to start in the coming months.

May 

The project is undergoing close-out for the exterior portion of the scope of work, having achieved substantial completion in late April. Minor items are being addressed. Once resolved, a Notice of Completion is expected to be presented to the Board of Trustees in the coming months for its consideration. Once approved, the District will submit the Notice of Completion to the Orange County Registrar, triggering the 30-day count for release of retention for this portion of the project.

Signage coordinator, KYA Group, provided the Campus Project Team with the revised interior scope of work after taking steps to minimize expenses and meet the established budget at approximately $729K. The revised scope of work includes the addition of building and floor directories at the entrances, lobbies, and corridors along with wayfinding signage and artwork along the hallways. Architect of Record, Westberg+White, kicked-off Building User Group meetings on May 26 in coordination with the Campus Project Team. At that meeting, the scope of work was reviewed and solidified.

A Board Agenda Item is anticipated to be presented to the Board of Trustees in June to KYA Group for the implementation of the finalized interior scope of work prior to proceeding with fabrication and installation.
