This project provides about 85,000 square feet of new space and about 20,000 square feet of remodeled space for middle school students and educators. The new space includes a library, a vo-tech lab, a band room, a choir room, and of course classrooms and administrative offices. The floors are framed with steel beams that are designed as composite members working with the concrete topping slab. The roof is framed with steel joist girders, steel beams and steel bar joists. The walls are mostly light gauge metal studs that in-fill the steel frame. The lateral force resisting system is mostly concentrically braced frames and concrete masonry shear walls. The foundation is conventional concrete walls and footings with some concrete grade beams to resist overturning forces. The remodeled space will modernize the historic Auditorium wing. The structural elements of the historic wing include concrete foundation walls, unreinforced brick bearing walls, wood-framed floors and roofs with some steel beams and columns.
