PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Norman Public Schools’ high school addition and renovation was part of a bond issue that created 28 district-wide school improvement projects. The design goals for each project were to “upgrade learning environments, enhance safety, and provide additional instructional opportunities for students.” Being the City of Norman’s original high school, the building and culture are essential to the community.

The Norman Public Schools’ high school freshman and career academy’s amenities include renovation and new classrooms, lecture rooms, computer labs, band practice area, administrative offices, and related support areas.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

• New heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, including cooling and heating equipment, air handling equipment, air distribution ductwork, and piping systems.
• The Alvine Engineering team designed direct digital Building Automation System (BAS) controls to efficiently manage mechanical air distribution, ventilation, and exhaust systems.
• New plumbing systems, including all plumbing fixtures, domestic water piping, sanitary sewer piping, and sanitary vent piping.
• Designed lighting systems and controls, as well as exterior building and site lighting.
• Telecommunications systems for voice/data, security, and wireless networks.
• Designed new telecommunications rooms within the existing areas and remodeled areas to serve the remodeled area without disrupting the functionality of the existing high school spaces.
• The existing security systems in the remodeled areas were extended, including electronic access control, intrusion detection, and electronic video surveillance.
• Designed the audiovisual systems for the renovated areas within the conference rooms, classrooms, and overhead paging system.
