MEP/FP engineering for this school supports classrooms, gymnasium and locker rooms, cafeteria and kitchen, offices, and flexible community spaces. The design integrates high-efficiency HVAC systems including DOAS with energy recovery and VRF, along with BAS controls and LED lighting, to provide reliable ventilation, temperature control, and adaptable performance across varied space types.
The project features flexible collaboration and community-use spaces, offices, classrooms, gymnasium and locker rooms, cafeteria and kitchen, and space for future classroom build-outs.
