2RW supported Oakwood School through multiple phases of planning, design, and implementation. The project began with MEP/FP engineering for a comprehensive renovation and addition; however, as the initial scope proved cost-prohibitive, the project was paused and re-evaluated.

During this interim period, 2RW provided engineering design for targeted classroom renovations, allowing the school to address immediate facility needs while maintaining progress toward the broader vision. These early phases required careful coordination within an occupied school environment and established a framework for future system upgrades. The targeted improvements also allow the school to communicate to its fundraising network the potential of new renovation investments.

The project was later reactivated with a revised scope that included both renovation and new construction. The expansion introduced new classrooms, offices, and multi-purpose spaces, as well as a new gymnasium and supporting program areas.

MEP/FP systems were designed to support a wide range of space types, from classrooms and sensory learning environments to high-occupancy assembly areas. New mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems were integrated throughout the renovated spaces and extended to serve the addition. This included upgraded HVAC systems to improve ventilation, comfort, and zoning control, new electrical infrastructure to support program flexibility, and a new building-wide fire alarm and sprinkler system.

Construction was carried out in a multi-phased effort to keep the school fully operational. MEP/FP systems were carefully sequenced to maintain continuous service to occupied areas, requiring strategic tie-ins, temporary conditions, and close coordination with the construction team to minimize disruption while integrating new and existing infrastructure.
