The Brownell Middle School Modernization Project began in the summer of 2019. This project has transformed the campus and enhances the surrounding Carmel and Hanna Streets neighborhood and the Gilroy community. The new middle school campus is a state-of-the-art facility.
The design team was led by Aedis Architects and the project continues to garner national attention for its attention to design, safety and security aspects. The school design boasts classroom pods for each grade level, featuring collaborative classrooms and an integrated outdoor learning environment. Students have the opportunity to learn using new technology infrastructure, maker spaces and science labs.
