Scope of work included demolishing the existing gymnasium and constructing a new 24,301 sf, two-story addition with administrative space, gymnasium, entrance lobby, restrooms and storage on the top level, and four (4) new classrooms, lockers and more storage in the lower level. The existing gymnasium housed the boiler that serves the entire school campus. A new boiler was installed in an existing mechanical room in the main school building, requiring a new cast in place concrete elevated slab, new 2-hour rated enclosure, and new exterior entrance. Also included in the scope was the renovation of 2,881 sf of administrative office space that became three (3) new classrooms and the conversion of one (1) existing classroom into a new entrance thoroughfare that will connect the new addition to the existing main level corridor. This addition gives the school a new entrance, a new gymnasium, four (4) new administrative offices and six (6) new classrooms. This project was very challenging due to the tight site, logistics in and out of the construction area adjacent to the existing school, and demanding schedule.
