Comments Tom Walsh: “Be- yond giving this special com- munity a safe and effective learning environment for those who need it most, this oppor- tunity also enabled us to grow our portfolio’s diversity and demonstrate that we are truly a total solutions provider, able to meet broad-based require- ments for all project types.” Featuring a beautiful brick façade, the new school incor- porates wide corridors and brings the outdoors in through the use of large windows and skylights. To encourage energy efficiency the building makes
use of Daylight controls for increased sustainability. The project represents the team’s third assignment as- sisting not-for-profit private education facilities. Adds TomWalsh: “This proj- ect required many special con- siderations and because of our deep construction knowledge, we were able to determine how to implement these require- ments without sacrificing the overall design goal of the space. Once the students and staff arrive, we are confident they will excel in this new learning environment.” n
