Overview

• Construction began with a district ceremony that featured students from Millennial Tech Middle and Lincoln High School.
• The facility will be the district’s first dedicated climate action lab, with two lab rooms, an outdoor atrium and support spaces.
• Completion is targeted for late 2027, with programming tied to partnerships with Groundwork San Diego and UC San Diego’s Center on Global Justice.
• The lab is part of a broader campus modernization that adds a student services entrance, a gym and multipurpose building, a field with locker rooms, solar panels, security upgrades and site improvements.
• School leaders emphasized equity for a student body that is about 89% socioeconomically disadvantaged, citing hands-on work such as student-built drone demonstrations and EarthLab-based learning.
