The building is framed with high recycled content steel with cementitious sub-floors poured on-site. Ceramic and quarry tile wainscot clads the walls in hallways and classrooms with full-height ceramic tiling in the restrooms. A reflective white “cool roof” membrane covers the roof and improves energy efficiency. The highly efficient HVAC system installed features ERV units to recover energy, CO2 sensors, and HCFC-free refrigerants to ensure healthy indoor air. Occupancy sensors are incorporated into the lighting system to reduce energy waste, as well.
