THE CHALLENGE

An old, failing HVAC system in the high school’s band room led to excess humidity and poor air quality for instructors and students. The project began in December, and the band director wanted the upgrade complete before warm weather hit in April and May.

KED SOLUTION

We replaced the existing stand-alone HVAC system with a more efficient, dedicated air-handling unit connected to high school’s centralized cold-water system. We also took advantage of the band’s relocation to the auditorium to modernize other aspects of the space—updating interior finishes and installing new ceilings, audio speakers, lighting control systems and flooring. All work was completed by March.
