Cedar Point Elementary School

The comprehensive renovation modernized 83,000 sf throughout the existing school, updating learning environments and support spaces with modern finishes, new casework, lighting, power distribution, MEP systems, and low-voltage technology. A multipurpose gym addition further expands the school's functionality, providing additional space to support its evolving needs. Working within the constraints of the existing building presented unique coordination challenges, particularly in accommodating new mechanical systems within limited ceiling space. One key challenge involved routing make-up air ductwork to the kitchen hood without penetrating the existing metal roof or lowering the addition's ceilings. Through close coordination among the architectural, mechanical, and structural disciplines, the team carefully aligned joist locations, ductwork, and other utilities to successfully integrate the new systems while preserving the design intent.
