Recently our Aediseans and their families swapped conference calls for roaring jeep rides and endless laughter at Safari West! We enjoyed bumpy treks through the wilderness, overnights in tent cabin, up close giraffe encounters, sharing stories over s’mores and dinner under the stars! This adventure was all about connection, fun, and making memories since nothing beats bonding when there are zebras, good food, and campfire vibes involved. But most of all, we’re grateful for our incredible team and their families who help us leave a #PositiveLastingImpact on the communities we serve. We appreciate you and all that you bring to Aedis! Cheers to a summer of teamwork, adventure, and the moments in between!

Construction is currently underway at Forest Hill Elementary School for a new multi-use building and new kindergarten playground, representing the fifth implementation of Campbell Union School District’s multi-use building prototype. Originally developed for Blackford Elementary School as a Net Zero Energy/Emissions public school building (the second in California!), this flexible, all-electric, and solar-ready design has shown to be a cost-efficient and future-oriented solution that effectively balances energy efficiency (60% cost savings at Blackford ES) with the specific requirements of each campus. Scheduled to be completed over the summer, this project is Phase Two of the campus’ modernization, following the addition of a new Administration Building. The new 8,600 square feet multi-use building will feature a stage and a kitchen with designated food service and prep areas. The newly imagined kindergarten playground will offer a creative and safe space for outdoor learning and play with climbing structures, slides and a large tricycle loop. This project reflects another meaningful step toward delivering a #PositiveLastingImpact district wide and Aedis takes great pride in continuing to assist Campbell Union School District with its strategic plan-reuse initiative!

Aedis is proud to partner with Campbell Union School District in the multi-phase reimagining of Capri Elementary School—a project that goes beyond buildings to invest in the heart of the community: its students, educators, and families. Now under construction, and recently visited by Aediseans at the AMS manufacturing facility, Phase 1 introduces a new 21,120 sf, two-story classroom building designed to support both learning and belonging. Inside, you’ll find: · four Campbell Cares classrooms · two kindergarten rooms · 12 general classrooms · staff spaces and offices · an intervention room · inclusive restrooms for students and staff And on the horizon, Phase 2, will bring a new multi-use building, library, and administration hub—spaces where ideas will be shared, support will be centered, and connection will thrive. At every stage, this transformation is driven by thoughtful design, deep collaboration, and a belief that the best school environments don’t just educate—they uplift. It’s all part of our commitment to creating a #PositiveLastingImpact that echoes far beyond the classroom. #ArchitectureWithPurpose #EducationDesign

Golden West Middle School is gearing up for an epic transformation! Travis Unified School District just broke ground on a major campus expansion that will debut by fall 2025. In only five months, we’ll see a refreshed Administration Building alongside five brand-new TimberQuest classroom hubs—built for efficiency, speed, and student success. These innovative spaces embrace biophilic design, featuring exposed wood, abundant natural light, and warm, inspiring interiors. Thoughtfully sited for seamless indoor-outdoor flow, they’ll spark fresh opportunities for collaboration, outdoor learning, and those impromptu “aha!” moments. Additional site enhancements include a generous new shade structure to support outdoor activities and gatherings, along with an expanded parking lot to improve campus access and traffic flow.
