Building Systems Description

Sustainable Design Elements
An overview of design elements contributing to a more efficient building including, exterior wall assembly, window shades, low water fixtures and geothermal wells.

Building Structural Systems
The existing building is steel construction with conventional concrete footings/foundation. The new building construction will consist of steel framing, concrete footings and concrete slabs. The Pre-K building will be utilizing much of the existing structure and will have additional structure to reinforce existing columns, trusses and masonry shear walls.

Plumbing and HVAC Systems
PLUMBING: The building will require one domestic water service, originating from the street, and 3 sanitary sewer sources; standard waste, acid waste for science rooms, and storm/rainleader waste. HVAC: The building will be served by ground source heat pumps with an electric boiler back up. The Pre-K building will be served by air source heat pumps.

Fire Protection Systems
A new fire protection system, in accordance to NFPA 13, shall be installed throughout all areas of the buildings.

Electrical Systems
Central Electrical Systems will support the HVAC cooling/heating and lighting systems by utilizing a main distribution panel, lighting sub panel, a transformer volt distribution panel and (4) sub panel. A 3 phase 400kW (500kVA) diesel generator will be provided.

Information Technology Systems
The technology infrastructure consists of the structured cabling system, jacks, termination, racks, patch panels, patch cords, and accessories to provide a complete and operational structured cabling system
