From the 2026 Educational Interiors Showcase: Hillview Crest Elementary Robotics

The project was recognized as an Outstanding Design in the Laboratories category in this year’s portfolio.

Key Highlights

  • Hillview Crest Elementary is the only school in Northern California partnering with UC Davis for K-5 coding and robotics education.
  • The new robotics lab was created by transforming an existing portable classroom to support the school's C-STEM program.
  • The project emphasized thoughtful planning to meet program needs within a limited budget and accelerated timeline.

Hillview Crest Elementary, a TK-5 C-STEM Magnet School, is the only school in Northern California partnering with UC Davis to teach math through coding and robotics across all grade levels. The C-STEM program immerses students from transitional kindergarten through fifth grade in hands-on computing, building a strong foundation in STEM learning.

To support this innovative program, 19six transformed an existing portable classroom into a dedicated robotics lab. The project required thoughtful planning to meet program needs within a limited budget and accelerated schedule.
