To expand on-campus housing, NU needed a new 286-bed, five-story, 75,000-SF student housing facility. The project delivery method was unconventional, as the owner acted as the Construction Manager. D&K provided a range of services, including structural engineering. Structural systems consist of precast hollow core planks supported by structural steel beams and columns to facilitate low…
When the Brattleboro School required expansion and renovation, D&K provided electrical and mechanical design to implement energy improvements for this 336,000-SF facility serving grades 6–12. Efficiency upgrades included daylighting controls; occupancy sensors; heat recovery system; high-efficiency air conditioning system; wood chip boiler as the primary heat source; CO2 sensors; VFDs on select air handling heat…
To save energy and costs, Barre Supervisory Union chose to investigate wood chip boiler systems. DuBois & King provided engineering services, project management, and cost control for an award-winning biofuel project. Our team developed design and specifications for the installation of a Messersmith Wood Chip Boiler that provided heat for the 220,000-SF high school.
CCV sought to expand its academic facilities by adding a 12,000-SF, two-story space. D&K provided mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design for the new space, including nine classrooms and laboratory and office spaces. Mechanical design included high-efficiency boilers with variable-speed pumps, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) heat pumps, general and specialty exhaust system requirements, and Direct Digital…
An aging concrete and masonry dam was deemed structurally deficient by state regulators, and the owners could not justify the expense of reconstruction. D&K connected the owners with the NRCS to fund the construction, which included the removal and disposal of the dam and active restoration of the stream channel. Our team designed the removal…
