Pre-Qualification
Solar Scholarships
In a unique partnership with the Campbell Union High School District, Bartos Architecture has lead an alliance of Designers, Manufacturers and Builders in a Public Contract Code 4271 negotiated agreement for electrical power generation.
Bartos Architecture conceived of, designed and has procured DSA Pre-Check (PC) approval of a Modular Solar Canopy system for the generation of and distribution of electrical power. By having key components factory fabricated and placed and installed on site, both issues of quality and price savings have been addressed.

Remembering John Nolen 
Each year we celebrate the life of John Nolen with a staff paid holiday. John was the Director of Support Services for the Campbell Union High School District. He served the District for decades. John taught us everything we know about school facilities. Mostly by example he showed us how to respect all people with dignity, how to listen, and how to be good stewards of the public trust. Although we miss John Dearly, he remains alive inside of us always.
