Architecture

The renovation is designed to modernize the existing building aesthetically, electrically, and mechanically. Once complete, the building will be equipped with top of the line equipment and technology, making it a great student facility for years to come. There will be abuse resistant gypsum wallboard throughout the facility. New classrooms will be added, the administration area and library will be rebuilt and relocated, and significant improvements will be made to science labs, locker rooms, the auditorium, media room and the school's athletic facility. The 70,000 S.F. of additional space being constructed will accommodate the growth in the area and eliminate the need for some local students to travel further distances to go to high school.

Building Envelope

The project has CMU and brick exterior wall systems. There is metal roof decking with expansion control and bituminous waterproofing

Construction
The project will occur in phases, and students will occupy the building during the entire renovation.

Electrical
This project has a 1000 A capacity within a 120V system. There is an underground electrical service, dry-type transformers and an emergency back-up generator.

Lighting

Performance based specification with a minimum 10 year life cycle cost. The project utilized Sports Field Lighting for the baseball and football fields. Interior Fluorescent, Incandescent, and High Intensity Discharge lighting used in the school interior.

Mechanical

The Special System room contains its own unique Air Conditioning Unit. The rooftop heating and cooling unit uses multi-zone gas heating and DX cooling. The project contains domestic gas & electric water heaters.

Structural

CMU and Brick exterior wall systems with steel framing used for new construction. Metal Roof Decking system with expansion control and bituminous waterproofing

Fire Protection

A hydraulically designed wet-pipe system is being installed to cover the entire building.

Transportation

The project contains both hydraulic elevators and surface mounted vehicle lifts and alignment systems. The main purpose of the elevators is to meet ADA disability requirements.

Telecommunications

A cable television/Broadband distribution system will be put in place during the renovation and addition. The contractor is furnishing and installing a sound and intercommunications, master clock and program systems. They will install a microprocessor controlled voice communication system with all low voltage wiring and equipment.

Special Systems

There is a detailed engineering design of a steel support structure, point supported structural glass and accessory parts performed by the glazed steel structure contractor. This structure must support a 30 psf live load and a 30 psf superimposed dead load.

Demolition

The demolition portion of the project is extremely planned out due to the phasing and sequencing of which areas they are able to work in. The demolition work varies from phase to phase depending on what portions of the school are included, but the electrical, mechanical and specialty furnishings must all be removed prior to work starting in those areas.

Concrete

Both cast-in-place and pre-cast concrete are utilized on this project. A structural plant cast is pre-cast to be used on site.

Support of Excavation

Temporary shoring put in place to support the foundation during excavation for the addition.
