Summary: Fillmore’s rich agricultural history and preserved charm inspired developers of a new master planned community, which includes capital facilities improvements to support the nearly 1,000 homes that will ultimately be built.  One of the conditions of approval for the 300-acre development is the construction of the Rio Vista Elementary School, which will soon accommodate 600 students from families who call “The Bridges at Heritage Valley Park” home.

Working closely with the Fillmore Unified School District in delivery of the 10-acre campus is Edge Development, the largest general contractor in Southern California’s Inland Empire.  Over the past several years Bergelectric has helped Edge deliver over$85-million in educational facilities—from a major high school expansion to construction projects on several University of California campuses.

Included in the 50,000-sf of space are special science, music and performance classrooms, as well as standard teaching classrooms, resource areas, library, kitchen/cafeteria and staff lounge.  In additional to installing site utilities powered by a 3,000-Amp service, Berg is providing underground infrastructure to connect the four buildings that comprise the campus.
