H2Engineering was hired to perform MEPF design, construction administration, and commissioning for the new 83,000 SF elementary school in Calhoun County located on the existing elementary school site. The original school was destroyed by Hurricane Michael, causing students to be sent to different locations across the county including placing Pre-K and first graders in portables for the last two years. The new school was designed to fit 598 students. It includes 35 classrooms, administration offices, a media room, a cafeteria, a kitchen, a music room, an art room, lounges, a parking lot, parent drop-off, and a bus ramp. The new school has an emergency diesel generator and distribution system to support the HVAC control system, food service refrigerator, and security systems.
