This project consists of an expansion and renovation of Burlington City High School, which houses grades 7 to 12. Interior renovations to the school will consist of resizing and realigning 80 percent of the existing classrooms. The project includes an addition that centers on the media center, and includes general classrooms, and art, computer and science rooms. This work also includes the expansion of the existing cafeteria and food-service area, and a renovation of the music wing.
The renovated school will have a new intercom and clock system, technology and security, and fire-alarm and sprinkler systems. All existing windows and roof areas, ceilings, light fixtures and doors will be replaced. The existing football field will be removed and replaced with two practice fields. Parking areas and roadway restoration will be required. This new work will be designed in the spirit of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). Furthermore, the entire building will have HVAC commissioning prior to turning over the building for occupancy.
