J.J. Daniel M.S. Renovation - Marietta, GA

Architect: Goode, Van Slyke Architecture

Project Description: 

The project included the renovation of 105,000 square foot, 25 year old middle school. Renovation consisted of asbestos removal, removing and installation of a new membrane roof, upgrade the HVAC and Emergency System, complete finishing. The highlight of the project was the use of a helicopter to install the roof top units over the structure. Thirty-three RTUs were installed in the matter of 90 minutes. The more challenging part of the project was the preparation of all the systems in the school before the RTUs could actually be set, including preparing the roof, installing roof curbs, running the electrical wiring to the roof, installing the support steel and changing the acoustical grid below to accommodate the supply and return air. All the renovation work, worth about $2.1 million, was performed in only ten weeks.
