The Town of Enfield selected Gilbane as their construction manager-at-risk for the consolidation of the Town’s two high schools into one school. Facing an enrollment reduction, the Town chose to renovate Enfield High School to accommodate the combined student body and close Enrico Fermi High School.
The consolidated high school includes a new 106,000 SF addition for science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM), a 14,000 SF music addition, an expansion of the cafeteria, kitchen, physical education and health departments. The remainder of the school will be fully renovated under the State’s renovate-like-new requirements which requires all aspects of the building and site to be brought up to meet current codes, including the State’s high performance standards for energy. The “like new” statute mandates a minimum life expectancy of 20 years for the entire building.
The project was executed while the school was occupied and operational. Our first priority was the safety of the community in and around the construction site, while ensuring uninterrupted education and activities at the facility.
