Water source heat pumps were installed to provide approximately 1,670 MBH heating and 130 ton cooling throughout the building. A closet at each classroom/zone was constructed to provide corridor access at standing level to maintain the heat pumps. The project included eight vertical (3 ton), closet mounted units, eight horizontal (3 ton) units, suspended above ceilings, 18 packaged heat pumps, two rooftop (10 ton) units for the gymnasium and one rooftop (10 ton) unit for the kitchen. Students occupied the building during construction in order for it to be completed for fall 2018. The scope of work also included a partial roof replacement. The project cost was $8.5 million.
