In 1994, a major fire destroyed the original 1927 structure deeming design and total replacement of the building. The insurance stipulated replacement as original which allowed for the current new building and site improvements at an overall cost of $5.4 million dollars which was completed in March 2002. 

One of the main goals of this project was to maintain the integrity of the historical 1927 building. The exterior of the building presents a new image for the campus, while the lobby incorporates classical architectural features from the original design. Located in Angels Camp on Highway 49, this facility with classical features, serves as a community landmark.  

The new, 14,000 square foot, state of the art facility includes: a 350 seat theater, 60 ft stage with a full fly space, dressing rooms, control booth, lobby with restrooms and a full service kitchen. 

Bret Harte has been a client of ASAi for approximately 20 years. Projects include two modernizations at Bret Harte and a modernization project at Vallecito High School.  ASAi assisted with the design of the new athletic fields and student parking.  Rough grading and the parking lot have been completed.  Go to More for additional information.

Soulsbyville Elementary School District requested ASAi’s assistance in obtaining DTSC clearance on a LPP project which was opened in 1987.  Approval was received by both CDE and DTSC and processed to OPSC which allowed the District to receive funding for the site purchase.   The Soulsbyville modernization project was designed and completed in 2003 and the total eligibility was $1,751,587.00.

The current growth project includes expanding the school site, widening the road to provide safe egress/ingress, reconfiguring a major portion of the campus to include moving ten relocatables, a new, pre-engineered gym and a two story classroom building
