Major Project Breaks Ground as "Believe in Our Next Generation" Fundraising Campaign Reaches Its Goal
OXNARD, Calif., July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ANDERSON Construction, a trusted general contractor with nearly a century of experience in community-based development, has been selected to lead the $2.5 million renovation of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme's (BGCOP) Port Hueneme Clubhouse. The project was awarded following a competitive bid process and marks a major milestone in BGCOP's ongoing "Believe in Our Next Generation" comprehensive campaign.
Located at 590 E. Pleasant Valley Road in Port Hueneme, the Port Hueneme Clubhouse plays a vital role in providing academic support, leadership development, and after-school programming. This renovation—the largest investments in the facility's history—is designed to expand the Port Hueneme Club's reach and long-term community impact.
Construction is already underway, with interior renovations in progress and exterior sitework, including the parking lot and a new play structure, scheduled to begin in August 2025. Once completed, the revitalized Port Hueneme Clubhouse will feature a fully equipped STEAM lab, a state-of-the-art eSports lounge, a modern teen center, upgraded classrooms, and improved accessibility throughout the facility.
ANDERSON Construction is building the project under a stipulated sum agreement, leveraging self-performed trades, phased coordination, and a tightly managed build schedule. With 97 years in business and a portfolio that includes cleanrooms, schools, civic buildings, and nonprofit facilities, ANDERSON Construction is known for its ability to manage complex builds on active sites with minimal disruption. The firm pairs hands-on field leadership with disciplined project management, ensuring tight schedule control, clear communication, and delivery excellence.
"We knew we had the skills and experience to bring this vision to life," said Larry Anderson, CEO of ANDERSON Construction. "Being selected by Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme is not just an honor—it's a responsibility we take seriously. We're building more than a facility. We're building trust."
The renovation is one of several strategic initiatives led by BGCOP CEO Erin Antrim, a longtime advocate for youth development who has overseen organizational growth including expanded programming and increased community outreach.
"This renovation reflects our commitment to investing in local youth," said Antrim. "We selected ANDERSON Construction because of their proven expertise in delivering complex, mission-driven projects—and because their team understands the value of doing things right."
