This project began with a renovation of the K-3 learning area. Updates include two additions which will provide additional learning spaces, a secure and accessible entry vestibule, and a new location for the administrative and clinic spaces. It also entails upgrades to classrooms, a library, and a central courtyard which features outdoor learning areas and accessible entrances.

2RW’s services include:

• A site investigation during the scope planning process to compare the costs and benefits of building a new school versus renovating the existing facility
• MEP/FP design for new systems and controls that will reduce energy and water use, improve ventilation, and make the school more comfortable. They include:
  • A new variable refrigeration flow (VRF) hybrid HVAC system supported by a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) with energy recovery
  • New high-efficiency condensing boilers
  • Individual temperature controls for learning spaces, offices, and conference rooms
  • Low-flow plumbing fixtures
  • LED lighting
  • New voice/data systems

The renovated school is more energy-efficient and comfortable for students, teachers, staff, and community members due to:

• Individual space controls which maintain temperature and humidity conditions in all seasons
• New air handling equipment which provides better ventilation and energy recovery
