CBS Sacramento highlights Elkhorn Village Elementary campus transformation. CBS Sacramento takes a look inside the transformation of Elkhorn Village Elementary, where TimberQuest helped deliver a modernized campus early for West Sacramento Spanish Immersion Students. Elkhorn Village Elementary School's campus transformation was recently featured by CBS Sacramento, offering a look at the new learning environments taking shape for students in Washington Unified School District. TimberQuest partnered with XL Construction and Studio W Architects to deliver the comprehensive campus modernization, which combines upgrades to existing facilities with new TimberQuest mass timber buildings. The project includes new classroom spaces, a library, special education and administrative spaces, along with improvements to the campus kitchen, administration building, outdoor learning areas and other student amenities. The new mass timber learning spaces are a defining element of the transformation, bringing natural materials and warm, welcoming environments to the campus while providing permanent facilities designed to serve students and the West Sacramento community for years to come. The CBS Sacramento feature provides a closer look at the evolving campus and the impact the improvements will have on the school community.
