The new Paul Duke STEM High School is approximately 300,000 sq. ft., which includes classroom spaces, computer and science labs, and collaborative spaces accommodating 1,500 students focused on academic achievement in the field of science, technology, engineering and math.
The new school building was built on an existing site that consisted of a warehouse building with parking and drives, and a wall detention pond. The entire site was demolished and regraded to accommodate a new high school building with parking, drives, a playfield, and a new wall detention pond with water quality, channel protection and detention. The team coordinated and assisted the project owner and architect with site design, construction documentation, stormwater management, hydrology, permitting and construction administration.
