NRB worked closely with the owner’s
Architect and General Contractor
to produce the 48 prefabricated modules and related
components for this 24,000 sq.ft. concrete and steel school facility.
In order to streamline the on site
completion of the building, NRB completed all structural
elements including the raised clear span clerestory
roof over the multipurpose room, curved barrel vault
roofs over all of the entrances and exterior concrete
decks. As well, NRB completed and commissioned all
interior finishes including millwork, fitments, folding
partitions, final painting as well as mechanical, electrical,
plumbing and fire protection systems. The General Contractor
completed all foundations, exterior building cladding
and site work. This division of responsibilities was
key to achieving the owner's specified occupancy date.
Building
features include custom interior colours throughout
providing a bright friendly facility for the students
and staff. The multipurpose room includes a 14 foot
clear ceiling height with exposed spiral ductwork,
trusses and acoustical roof deck as well as acoustical
panels.
The multipurpose room roof was raised
above the surrounding modules to allow for natural light along both sides.
Sound rated folding partitions in large classrooms were
provided to allow for adjustments and variety
in classroom sizes.
Energy saving materials such as
insulated fibreglass windows, motion activated lighting controls,
high efficiency HVAC units and programmable thermostats were installed.
