This project consisted of retrofitting an existing 336,000 square foot four story office building into a DSA approved high school campus. The now 220,00 square foot hyper adaptable learning facility can service approximately 1,200 students and is home to three independently run public charter schools. The building was designed to support a flexible integration of project-base STEM curriculum. In order to support this, at the heart of each school are large common areas that can be programmed to accommodate everything from student project work and presentations, to group activities. A four-story atrium interconnects the three separate schools opening it up to a shared community space on the ground floor. tk1sc provided full-service MEP engineering design on this project.

The Watson Land Company's new corporate headquarters is targeting LEED-NC Platinum certification to support and represent the company's philosophy of constructing sustainable buildings for their clients. Every effort was made to find the most energy efficient lighting fixtures available and to take advantage of daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors.
