The project consisted of renovation and construction of a new addition to create approximately 93,000 SF of modernized learning space, including a new cafeteria, lobby, and double-height areas. This includes integrating two previously unconnected buildings through construction of a new glass atrium.

The project features a geothermal system consisting of 100 wells drilled 650 feet deep for heating and cooling throughout the project’s site in an effort to meet the Department’s sustainability goals and requirements.

The ventilation system uses water-sourced energy recovery units with the Enverid system, reducing outside air needs by 40%. Limited rooftop HVAC equipment supports future solar panel installations, aligning with the Net Zero Ready design. The facility is fully electric, with natural gas used only for the generator.
