HVAC & PLUMBING SOLUTIONS

Trautman & Shreve helped provide a high-performance environment tailored to this client's innovative educational approach. The 42,000-square-foot multi-use facility includes art, science and technology classrooms, as well as media centers and a nursery.

Trautman & Shreve's mechanical construction scope of work included heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) installation as well as plumbing systems installation. The HVAC system consisted of five semi-custom rooftop air-handling units connected to a central chiller and boiler.
