Granada High Athletic & Aquatic Facility Renovation Complete

LIVERMORE, CA — After nearly two years of construction, the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District announce Friday the completion of the Granada High School (GHS) Athletic and Aquatic Renovation Project.

In addition to a new pool and two sand volleyball courts, the project added a new classroom building with a weight room, physical education (PE) classroom, wrestling room, and dance studio. These state-of-the-art facilities provide spatial flexibility for a wide range of instruction and activities, including roll-up doors that easily extend the indoor classroom to the outdoors.

The new spaces provide teachers, coaches and students with resources for conditioning and training that will elevate the athletic and competitive experience of the school's student athletes and sports programs.

"Thanks to the support of our community we now have athletic facilities that match the quality of the programs themselves. I can’t wait for everyone to be able to come back and enjoy the new building and pool and benefit from everything they enable us to offer." said Matthew Hart, Granada High School Principal.

The new pool, three times the size of the old, provides additional lanes for practice and swim meets, meets the length requirements for water polo competitions, and allows for the continuation of a robust diving program with its depth. A cost-efficient filtration system, community pool house, and changing area round out the many aquatic improvements for the project.

"We are incredibly excited for the project to be completed and for our athletes to begin utilizing these amazing facilities. We are grateful for the community’s support of high school athletics and recognition of the important role athletics plays in the lives of our student athletes," said David Moore, Granada High School Athletics Director. "The new facility is something that all athletes, both past and present, can take pride in. We cannot wait for all of our teams to begin working hard in a space that will help them achieve their goals."

According to school officials, these new facilities will benefit the athletics program and will enrich student physical education classes for all grade levels. The project was made possible by the Livermore community’s support of the Measure J Facilities Bond.
