The Agua Fria Transportation center was once an existing vacant dirt lot located off of Cotton Lane just south of Thomas Road, within the City of Goodyear.  The Lloyd team is almost to the finish line for the transportation center for the Agua Fria Union High School District, with partner architects SPS+ Architects. The civil improvements included site development for a new office building/maintenance center, as well as, mass grading, extension for the fire line loop, domestic water line, sewer line, and development of a large parking lot to store all the buses within the district. Offsite roadway improvements on Cotton Lane include a deceleration lane for both southern entrances as well as redevelopment of the existing median to include a left turn bay into the site.

With staff spanning five states and two countries, the Lloyd team still finds ample time to connect with colleagues through projects, but also as an entire firm during various company retreats. This past weekend the Lloyd team came together in Scottsdale, Arizona, to commemorate another year of success and collaboration. Leading up to the retreat, several staff members found time to break away from their computer desks to meet in the field at various sites across the country. From Los Angeles to Tennessee, and in both rain or shine, our team makes every effort to be in the field to make sure our projects are running smoothly.

Arizona Desert Elementary School had their grand opening this past Thursday for the newly completed sports facility expansion and field of dreams on their current K-8 school campus. The event was celebrated with live music by students, local news, students and staff, the local Tolleson community, the Tolleson Elementary School Board, and both the design and construction team representatives. The morning festivities started off with several speeches from board members, staff, and students, followed by a ribbon cutting, and free play and popsicles for the students. The Lloyd team appreciates the opportunity to work alongside a wonderful design and CMAR team with SPS + Architects, Chasse Building Team, and the subcontractors on the projects. Thank you to Tolleson Elementary School District and AZ Desert Elementary for trusting our collaborative team on this amazing project.  Our team is excited to have helped bring a wonderful amenity to the local students and community of Tolleson.

A recent site visit by our colleague Jane Theobald to Window Rock placed her between state lines! Very seldom do we have the opportunity to work on a project where we can literally walk from one state to another in a matter of minutes… New Mexico on the left and Arizona is on the right.

Our team is wrapping up construction at Arizona Desert Elementary School in Tolleson, Arizona. The project has been a great partnership with Tolleson Elementary School District, Arizona Desert Elementary School Staff, SPS + Architects, Chasse Building Team, and our team at Lloyd! The project is slated for a grand opening event later this week. We look forward to seeing the students and local community utilizing this new sports facility.

Colleague Sam Wise with Lloyd made a recent site visit out to Lindhurst High School to review existing conditions and collect information to aid in completing the site design for the new track & field facility. This new project in Olivehurst, CA, is planned to start construction August of this year. With a busy construction season approaching, the Lloyd design team is working hard to ensure the design meets the schedule and needs of the school and local community. Photos here show some existing storm drainage, irrigation points of connection, and perimeter conditions that the new site will be integrated into.

Lloyd team member Sam Wise, PE, made a site visit out to Yerba Buena High School, in San Jose, CA, to check-in on the construction progress for the new synthetic turf baseball & softball facility. Finishing mass grading the previous week, a follow up site visit is an important step in the construction progress. Lloyd worked extensively with the design-build contractor Bothman to provide a full grading design that balances earthwork on-site, while also providing locations to store spoils from clearing and trenching on-site to save costs. Check out the photos of the site on the ground, and in the "field", as well as crews installing the site storm drain.
