Our educational project experience includes sixteen (16) K-12 schools and daycare facilities. 

Remodels

The above projects encompassed both major work on the buildings exterior and radical reconstruction on its interiors.  Complex challenges included, adding new systems and bringing buildings up to code, essentially placing a new building inside an existing one, while attempting to keep costs at a bare minimum.  Respect for the environment and green principles (LEED®) occurred by maintaining structural and non-structural elements such as floors, walls, and roof, material re-use (doors, frames, etc), equipment, where possible.  Indoor environments & air quality, also played a major role in the above renovations by collaborating with engineers and contractors.

New Construction 

New Construction has its challenges.  Starting with a blank canvas - vacant land should be easier to work with than a complex renovation. However, nature, habitat & the environment become primary objectives.  LEED® considerations focus on Energy, Water and Site planning:  Site development that protects & restores habitat, erosion control, minimal disruption of existing ecosystems, building footprint reduction, natural stormwater flows, water & energy saving techniques enter the planning process.  Once client & permit objectives are met, the building is designed and constructed.
