前查尔斯县,马里兰州,公立学校校长詹姆斯·里士满(James Richmond)詹姆斯·里士满(James Richmond)曾设想在华尔道夫镇以科学为重点的外太空主题高中,但几年来,该项目似乎永远不会离开发射台。

Derk Jeffrey, principal in charge at Stantec, says Richmond and others championed the concept, drawing ideas, resources and support from companies, organizations and government agencies in science fields, including the Space Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Jeffrey’s team began work in 2007, but after an initial round of hard bids came in well above budget, the project struggled to find a path forward.

杰弗里(Jeffrey)说,采用建筑经理处于风险交付模式(当时开始在马里兰州的政府机构之间获得吸引力),以成为获胜的公式。建筑经理Hess Construction +工程服务与Stantec之间的合作关系帮助该县将项目带回了预算,同时保留了里士满的愿景。该团队在2012年8月在285,000平方英尺的设施上打破了地面。

“The builder was able to come in early and address any issues,” Jeffrey says. “There were things we discovered early that would have been a nightmare to deal with under traditional delivery methods.”

预构建阶段延长了三个月,以便团队将所有者批准的价值工程建议纳入设计中。事实证明,在设计和建造前的使用BIM在确保高水平的工作中起着重要作用,尤其是对于高管行业。在施工的早期几个月中,防止了与钢轴承和管道高程的几次冲突,使团队能够吸收三个月的延迟。

圣查尔斯高中(St. Charles High School)拥有1,920名学生的能力,在四层楼上垂直堆叠四个学术屋,共有72个教学站。该设施的杰出功能包括60英尺高的数字圆顶剧院,可容纳大约150名学生,并使用激光投影技术在整个圆顶结构上生成图像。

同类的设计是第一个在美国出版ic school, according to the team. Furnishing and installation of the dome required all work on the school project to be 100% complete within the area of the dome itself. HESS crafted scopes of work for trades working within that space to complete their work early. The specialty contractor also required access and lifts to be placed prior to installation. HESS scoped that work at bid time to clarify it as a project requirement.

The facility also features Science on a Sphere—a globe that provides students with visual instruction about science, the Earth and the environment. Developed by NOAA, the system uses computers and video projectors to display animated, three-dimensional data on to a 6-ft-dia sphere.

圣查尔斯高中还采用各种各样的绿色技术,包括部分绿色的植物植物屋顶;地热加热和冷却;自动光控制系统和占用传感器;用于家用热水的太阳能预热;反射凉爽的屋顶系统;用透水铺路进行水产能绿化;内部饰面,带有高回收含量;和能源管理系统。该项目正在寻求LEED银认证。

这项耗资7200万美元的项目在2014-2015学年之前在2014年7月完成。赫斯Construction项目主管贾斯汀·费舍尔(Justin Fisher)说:“该县试图使该项目很长一段时间。”“知道我们可以帮助该县建设这所学校,我们感到非常满意。”
