Description:
David’s School – Raleigh, NC: is an independent K – 12th grade Episcopal school in the heart of Raleigh, North Carolina. The school has expanded tremendously from its beginnings in the early 1970’s as a 9 -12th grade high school to what it is today. Accompanying such expansion the school was in need of major renovations and additions. To accommodate the schools growth and needs; a new performing arts center, state of the art indoor athletic facilities, dining hall, common areas and parking deck were integrated into the existing campus. The Performing Arts Center is the home of their drama, band, and choral programs. The auditorium in the Performing Arts Center allows the school community to convene in large groups for choral and band performances, plays and musicals, as well as special speakers and symposiums. The Indoor Athletic Facilities is ideal for the K-12 PE program and meeting the growing needs of the sports program. In order to maximize space while providing much needed additional access, there is additional Parking Areas under the new gymnasium and reconfigured lots around campus. The new Dining Hall is a place of gathering and fellowship in the center of campus.
Crenshaw Consulting Engineers, Inc. designed the plumbing, mechanical consultation, electrical and fire alarm systems for this 65,000 SF addition as well as for the renovation. The project incorporates global and net-workable lighting controls, incorporation of performance style AV lighting and sound components in the Performing Arts Theater, a full voice evacuation fire alarm system and other considerations for upgraded and high-end lighting fixtures, components and controls. Roof drainage for the complex roof system is handled primarily by internal roof drains, both primary and secondary. Poor water delivery to the building due to existing site conditions was remedied with the use of a water storage and pressure boosting system to allow the use of high pressure flush-valve fixtures and supply requirements for the Kitchen and other plumbing system components.
