Breaking Ground on ACE Academy Lambs Lane, Albemarle County Public Schools

This week marked an exciting milestone as construction officially began on the Albemarle County Public School ACE Academy Lambs Lane. 2RW is proud to provide MEP/FP engineering for this 60,000 SF, two-story facility, designed to foster a modern learning environment with flexible, collaborative, and interdisciplinary spaces.

Sustainability is at the forefront of this project. Our design integrates:

  • Highly efficient mechanical systems featuring geothermal heat recovery chillers
  • PV-ready rooftop to support future renewable energy initiatives
  • Geothermal bore fields strategically placed beneath the redesigned parking lot
  • EV charging stations to support sustainable transportation

These initiatives reduce and offset energy usage, aligning with LEED design goals and ensuring a high-performing, energy-efficient facility for future generations.

We’re excited to see this vision come to life, with the expected completion date in August 2026.
