Construction on a new robotics facility for the Fremont Union High School District got underway May 12 with a groundbreaking ceremony at Cupertino High School. Students from all five high schools in the district will be able to use the new state-of-the-art facility, which is anticipated to be complete in fall 2026.
“We are thrilled to create a dedicated space for our award-winning robotics teams,” said district superintendent Graham Clark in a release. “This new facility will ignite our robotics programs, fostering greater collaboration and further innovation.”
Replacing makeshift classrooms and portable buildings, the 14,500-square-foot facility will feature a field space, spectator seating and workshop, classroom and teamwork areas. Design features will include controlled daylighting, an acoustic roof deck and security systems.
High ceilings will accommodate the potential use of aerial drones, and the flooring will be treated with Electrostatic Discharge protection to prevent harmful static buildup between sensitive electronics and robots. Wi-Fi specifications have been optimized to minimize interference with robotic control systems without disrupting broader campus connectivity.
The project’s exterior includes rooftop solar panels, as well as an outdoor workspace, entry plaza, drop-off areas and landscaping.
Designed by Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA) and built by Landmark Construction, with Blach Construction serving as construction manager, the project is funded by Measure G, a $275 million school bond approved by district voters in June 2022 to continue the renovation and modernization of all district high schools
QKA Principal Nick Stephenson said input from robotics students, adult mentors and coaches was “invaluable to our design process.”
“Their firsthand insights directly shaped the project’s outcome,” he added.
