Norton High School

OVERVIEW

The Norton High School project consisted of the comprehensive renovation of the existing 130,000 square foot high school along with a new 27,000 square foot cafeteria and science wing addition. The new addition scope of work included five state-of-the-art science and laboratory classrooms, including separate laboratory prep rooms, a complete laboratory waste system, acid neutralization system, fume hoods, and energy recovery units for the exhausted air supply. The new addition was the first phase of work and was expedited to create swing space for the renovation work phases.

The renovation scope of work included a comprehensive replacement of all mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment and systems, including a new DDC temperature control system and a completely new fire protection system. The project included the complete replacement of all window and storefront systems throughout the school along with a new vestibule at the existing main entrance.

The new science wing and cafeteria addition was completed on time and on budget on February 15, 2013, allowing the school to move in over February school vacation. The remaining high school areas achieved full occupancy and operation of all classrooms and support spaces by November 2013 - one month in advance of the December 2013 deadline.
