tk1sc provided mechanical and plumbing engineering services for this $9 million, 160,000 square-foot middle school campus renovation and expansion project, adding 70,000 square feet. Scope encompassed improvements to the lower and upper school classrooms facilities in addition to the construction of a new 2-story classroom building that shares a semiprivate courtyard with the adjoining new performing-arts center. The new structure includes 23 instruction spaces, four science labs, and administrative offices.

tk1sc was brought on to provide mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering services on this renovation and expansion for St. Mary’s School, Orange County’s only independent preschool through grade 8international baccalaureate (IB) world school. The project added 50,000 square feet of classrooms, three science labs, an art wing, and a 4,000 square-foot teaching and foodservice kitchen.

This brand new 120,000 square-foot cutting-edge educational concept space provides students with refuge to study, collaborate, and recreate for both middle and high school students. Seamless integration of outdoor learning area with indoor study create unconfined classrooms produces a highly efficient use of programmed space. reducing the non-educational area such as corridors and foyers. Elevated pedestrian walkway interconnects all buildings and serves as an easily identifiable pathway and sense of direction. tk1sc provided electrical, low voltage, lighting, fire alarm, and audio-visual services.

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.
