This new 105,000 sf middle school replaces an aging and over-capacityfacility built in the 1950s.

Vanderweil’s design efforts included the detailed an all-electric ground-source heat pump system and coordination for a future rooftop PV array PPA for the new school to be fossil-fuel free and net-zero ready.
