Advanced VDC for the $200M Chino High School Rebuild

For the ENR award-winning $200M Chino High School rebuild, ScanTek 3D deployed advanced Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) solutions. By meticulously coordinating complex exterior systems across seven new buildings on an active campus, our precise planning overcame severe logistical constraints and supply chain disruptions to deliver architectural excellence without delaying educational innovation.

What Were the VDC Deliverables for the $200M Chino High Rebuild?

Revitalizing a massive center of education and community like Chino High School requires executing every detail with absolute precision and foresight. The Chino Valley Unified School District envisioned a sprawling, modern campus designed to nurture the next generation of students.

ScanTek 3D worked diligently behind the scenes, ensuring that every inch of the new exterior systems was meticulously planned and constructed. To accommodate the massive scope of the project, our VDC coordination managed the spatial reality of several major structural additions.

The sheer scale of this educational rebuild included:

• Project Investment: A massive $200M campus reconstruction (ENR Regional Best Projects winner).

• Campus Capacity: Designed to accommodate approximately 2,700 students.

• Structural Scope: Seven distinct new buildings, including two-story classroom facilities, a performing arts center, and an aquatic center.

• Specialized Facilities: State-of-the-art learning environments, including a Biomedical Science and Technology Academy and a dedicated MAGNET academy.

How Does VDC Aid Occupied Campus Construction?

The construction journey for a project of this magnitude is never without its hurdles. Building a $200M campus from scratch is difficult; executing that exact same build on an occupied campus introduces intense logistical complexities.

Furthermore, this project faced significant industry-wide supply chain disruptions. During these critical phases, ScanTek 3D’s advanced virtual design and construction solutions became invaluable to the general contractors and project stakeholders.

Our robust onsite coordination provided the exact digital framework needed to navigate these constraints, delivering actionable ROI through:

• Occupied Campus Logistics: Allowing construction to progress safely and efficiently without disrupting the daily operations of the active student body.

• Supply Chain Mitigation: Providing exact digital measurements and material requirements early in the process to pre-emptively manage supply chain delays.

• Innovative Onsite Planning: Fostering robust, conflict-free coordination between different specialized trade teams before they ever stepped foot on site.

  
  

How Did VDC Bring the Perforated Metal Panel Spine to Life?

Chino High School’s transformation isn't just a functional one; it is a marvel of modern design and structural integrity. A standout feature of the new buildings is the highly intricate perforated metal panel circulation spine that shades the south side of the structures.

This specific architectural element beautifully underscores the marriage of form and function, but integrating complex metal paneling requires absolute structural precision. ScanTek 3D played a crucial role in bringing this intricate design element to life.

Through our precise VDC and exterior systems coordination, we ensured these custom panels not only looked striking but also met all stringent structural and functional requirements. We bridged the gap between architectural prowess and constructable reality.
