Hoover Elementary School

More than 400 community members joined the Hoover Elementary Ribbon Cutting in Palo Alto, and we are grateful to be part of an amazing collaboration with PAUSD and our partners to create inclusive and accessible playgrounds for K-5 students. This is one of the most sustainable campuses yet, built entirely with mass timber and providing the district with modern, energy-efficient learning environments.

Kindergarten students now have a dedicated play space designed for ages 2-5, while upper grades enjoy a playground for ages 5-12. The playgrounds feature everything from swings and climbing structures to slides, play panels, spinners, nature play, and musical instruments.

We’re excited to see students already enjoying their new playgrounds.
