SK&A provided structural engineering services for the modernization of the existing 50,734 sf facility and introduction of new 54,000 sf additions, which include new classrooms, gymnasium, and rooftop turf field to improve the school’s current operations.
The superstructure for the new additions consists of structural steel framing with composite steel beams, open web joists and long-span roof construction. Steel framed full story trusses support the elevated walkway bridge between the new and existing buildings on the west side of the existing school. Indoor common spaces were created by enclosing existing courtyard spaces between existing buildings with new steel framed roofs, supported by the existing building bearing walls.
