This project consisted of an existing classroom wing for an approximately 5,500 sf new automotive repair educational lab. The scope of work shall consist of sitework, concrete foundations, CMU walls, steel bar joist low-slope roof with membrane roofing, exterior metal wall panels, brick veneer, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical.
Mechanical systems were engineered specifically for the demands of an automotive training environment. Vehicle exhaust extraction, compressed air distribution, and dedicated ventilation were integrated throughout the lab to maintain air quality and meet code requirements for occupancy. Electrical service was upsized to power lifts, diagnostic equipment, welding stations, and future technology additions as the program grows.
Close coordination with the school district and program instructors shaped the final design, ensuring the space reflects current industry standards and prepares students for careers in modern automotive service. Durable, low-maintenance finishes were selected throughout to withstand the rigors of daily shop use while presenting a professional learning environment.
We’re pleased to have delivered a facility that expands the district’s career and technical education offerings and gives students a meaningful pathway into a skilled trade. The completed lab stands as a strong addition to the existing classroom wing and a valuable long-term asset to the school community.
