Scope Of Work

This project consisted of the construction of a new 100,000 square foot, two-story elementary school.  Building construction consisted of a steel-framed structure with light gauge metal framed exterior walls with a combination of brick and EIFS façade.  The project contained a beautifully-designed courtyard with river stone pavers and ornamental stone.  The courtyard was enclosed within the interior of the building requiring appropriate logistical coordination to ensure proper planning and sequencing of related work. 

The project also entailed extensive site work such as new site utilities throughout, significant site re-grading, extensive new site drainage, a storm infiltration system, concrete walkways, new parking lots and landscaped features.  The project execution was extremely smooth and consequentially the project was completed one month ahead of schedule.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

This new building was constructed with galvanized studding and masonry backup.  The exterior finish systems included brick veneer, EIFS stucco, and aluminum storefronts

The new Elizabeth Pole Elementary School was constructed in a residential neighborhood and required constant attention relating to noise control, dust control, and general housekeeping.  Vehicle egress for local, residential traffic had to be maintained throughout the duration of the project. W.T. Rich was required to control activities and maintain traffic flow to meet the needs of the facility and its staff, students, and visitors
