Campus


The majority of classrooms are arranged in rows, starting with the 100s wing at the front of the school, and the 800 wing at the back of the school. The athletic fields bisect the school. The eastern portion of the school contains the 900 wing, or "Orchard" as it is called due to its proximity to Orchard Avenue. The 100 wing is primarily school administration. The 200s and 300s are mostly for social sciences and humanities. The 400s and 500s are where most language courses are taught. 600s and 700s are where the technical and scientific courses are held. The 800 wing contains the Inquiry Center, school farm, and other industrial, technology, occupational skills courses and additional science classes. The 900s are home to mathematics, business, foreign language and arts courses.


The Inquiry Center is the school's library, which also accommodates a variety of electronic data acquisition tools, including remote access data retrieval, CD-ROM compact disks, and a multiple user computer network.



2005–2008 Renovation project




New pool and poolhouse construction


In 2004, local voters passed a school bond, Measure A-04. Its objective was "to repair, upgrade, equip and construct school facilities at Arroyo Grande High School, including the school library and restrooms, upgrade electrical wiring to accommodate technology, install energy efficient heating/ventilation systems, classrooms, cafeterias, plumbing, qualify for State matching funds, reduce overcrowding, by issuing $21,350,000 of bonds at legal interest rates, appoint a Citizens' Oversight Committee and perform annual audits to ensure that no bond money is wasted or used for administrator's salaries".[10]


The Citizen's Oversight Committee oversaw the project. The first phase, in 2005, involved renovation of restrooms and drainage systems, and extensive renovation of the 500 wing of classrooms. In 2006, the other classroom wings on the Valley Road side of campus were renovated, and a new swimming pool was completed on the old tennis court site. The third phase included a new administration and student support center, and a new multi-purpose room with food services. The old administration building was demolished, with the administrative staff temporarily relocated to a building across from the library. The final phase involved new tennis courts, a food court, and a parking area located in a section of campus previously used by the maintenance department and some old classrooms that were removed. The construction was completed in September 2008.[11]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
