CURRENT PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Amy Biehl School
sq ft64,400$13.1 ml

Single-story steel and metal framing structure on spread footings. Project is slated for LEED Silver Certification.
The project includes an exposed CMU gym with radius joists and perforated, acoustical ceiling panels. The rolling fourteen acre site requires extensive earthwork manipulation with major utilities infrastructure development. Complicated roof line tie-ins, intersecting radius building & site walls and extensive building elevation changes, demands a very stringent, layout quality control program. Numerous Kalwall vertical panels and pyramid skylights greatly contribute to natural daylighting enhancement and a significant decrease in artificial lighting requirements. Careful material procurement data and a comprehensive waste management plan indicate that anticipated construction LEED credits will be exceeded.
Unusual features include a geo-exchange hydronic heat system, photo voltaic solar collectors on the roof and a storm-water wetlands pond.

CURRENT PROJECT FINISHING PRE-CONSTRUCTION

Morriarty Middle School
sq ft49,800$13.2 ml

Construction Management At Risk (CMAR) project that is being designed to meet LEED Silver Certification standards. The Contract has been awarded and guaranteed maximum price established.
Recently completed pre-construction services underway included estimating, value engineering services, a complete constructability review, material availability research and preliminary Sub Contractor services. Design assist includes potential implementation of geo-exchange heating and cooling system similar in scope to the Amy Biehl School project.
The project consists of demolishing a number of existing buildings, construction of a new academic building including multiple classrooms, kitchen & dining and library, renovation of an existing gymnasium, administration building & classrooms and considerable site improvements including upgraded athletic fields, significantly expanded site utilities and a new bus-maintenance facility. The new academic/kitchen/dining/library building is a one story exposed cmu structure with sloped standing-seam and flat TPO roofing systems. Renovation of the existing cmu gymnasium will involve intricate helical anchorage to help stabilize settlement issues.
Construction of the new buildings, renovation of the existing buildings and the extensive site work improvements will require intricate staging, security, safety and scheduling planning as the school will be fully operational during construction.
