EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
Fairchild-Wheeler Multi Magnet High School, Trumbull, Connecticut
Site Design and Permitting Manager for the new F-W multi magnet high school on a portion of the Fairchild Memorial Park in Trumbull, CT. The proposed 270,000SF school will provide specialized training in the fields of engineering, zoology/biology, and information technology, with various programs partnering with local businesses to provide real-life experience for the students. The site topography presented extreme challenges which were overcome with innovative design techniques such as under-building parking. A state-of-the-art stormwater management system is proposed which includes multiple bio-filtration and infiltration elements to maintain stormwater quality while regulating stormwater discharge rate/volumes to existing downstream drainage systems. The project is on track to achieve a LEED silver certification and open in fall 2013, with construction starting spring, 2011.
Greenwich High School, Greenwich, Connecticut
Site Design and Permitting Manager. DTC is providing landscape architectural, civil and structural engineering services to facilitate an addition to the existing Greenwich High School. The addition will house a new state of the art performing arts theater for school and community use. As part of the project the existing theater space will be converted into other school program areas. DTC’s design team will study the existing parking and provide a zero net loss of parking once the project is completed. The project also entails utilization of alternative drainage and paving techniques in order to control storm water runoff. DTC’s landscape architectural group will address the process of seamlessly blending the proposed building addition in with the existing school while also providing outdoor gathering areas, improved bus loop access, a new parent drop off area and safer pedestrian circulation corridors . Other services included for this project consist of building structural engineering, site layout, revised vehicular circulation, site lighting, landscaping, extension or relocation of site utilities and local and state permitting.
