Troy, MI
Facility condition assessments are crucial to any school district in pursuit of a bond initiative. Types of equipment to be considered, visual condition analysis, remaining expected useful life, and opinion of probable replacement cost are but a few elements that go into a report for use in developing bond language for submission to the State’s treasury department.
PBA provided services to the Troy School District for the assessment of all district facilities. We verified all manufacturers and equipment types in order to present the district with recommendations.
Upon the favorable vote in 2013, Peter Basso Associates remained as engineer of record providing MEP engineering design services for the implementation of recommendations at 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 2 high schools. Our projects also encompassed the International Academy East, Administration Building, and Special Services Building.
Most buildings in the district received new boilers, chillers and unit ventilators, and all were fitted out with secured entry vestibules. Temperature controls upgrades were provided to each building as well, and LED lighting and occupancy sensors were installed district-wide to meet energy usage guidelines.
