This project is a $23 million, 105,000 sf school that serves <br />approximately 900 students between pre-kindergarten and <br />8th grade. The three-story building features steel frame and <br />masonry construction. <br />In total, there are 24 standard academic classrooms, two <br />multipurpose rooms, one computer lab, one science lab, <br />music and art classroom, a gymnasium and stage, lockers, <br />kitchen and dining facilities, and about seven general offices. <br />This school is designed for community use on the evenings <br />and weekends with independent access to the gym, dining <br />room and other specialty spaces. Exterior amenities include <br />a parking lot, nature walk and garden, a playlot, green and <br />reflective roof, and a play space with a paved tricycle path. <br />The school is equipped with a state-of-the art Computer <br />Network and a fully commissioned building automation <br />system which monitors and maintains all HVAC settings. The <br />heating and air conditioning is provided by selfcontained <br />systems. Security and access control is a very important aspect <br />of this project. A security alarm system with a surveillance <br />camera was installed which links video footage to the Chicago <br />Public School’s security office. Exterior security lighting <br />surrounds the building and the school is fully sprinkled with a <br />fire alarm system. <br />The building’s design includes a 50% green roof and received <br />LEED Gold certification under the U.S. Green Building <br />Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design <br />(LEED) standard. <br />NAME AND LOCATION OF PROJECT <br />Calmeca Academy of Fine Arts & Dual Language - Chicago Public Schools - <br />Chicago, IL <br />SIZE OF PROJECT105,000 sf <br />CLIENTS CONTACT INFORMATION <br />Chicago Public SchoolsKevin Taylor <br />773-553-3220kjtaylor@cps.k12.il.us <br />DESCRIPTION OF WORK <br />This project consisted of renovatingapproximately 2,000 sf of existing <br />school and classroom space into a new health clinic. <br />CONTRACT TERM <br />3/24/2009 - 6/24/2010 <br />FIRM’S RESPONSIBILITY ON THE PROJECT <br />New Construction <br />RESULTS OF PROJECTComplete & Occupied <br />COST OF PROJECT <br />$22,699,006 <br />F.
