In the design process with engineering partner Martin Pevzner (now part of ISG), a major update to Park High School’s original mechanical equipment and indoor air quality provided an opportunity to create an entirely new front entrance, common gathering space, lecture hall, and main office suite. Upgrades continued throughout the school over the span of more than a decade to include spaces including media center, science rooms, restrooms, locker areas, performing arts, concession stand, and fieldhouse. The energy efficiency improvements extended beyond the mechanical systems to replacement of windows with modern, triple pane units.
