City of Providence Public Properties
Districtwide High School Science Laboratory Additions & Improvements
Scope of Work
StudioJAED performed complete renovations to 30 science laboratories located at three different high schools in the City of Providence Public School System.
The scope of work included complete systemic replacement of roofs, windows, MEP systems, and architectural modifications to support the science laboratory renovations.
This project focused on Science Integration and designing “universal laboratories” to accommodate multiple science curricula, and provide opportunities for long-term, multi-disciplined student projects. The Design and Engineering focused on High Performance Building Systems, and utilizes the “School as a Teaching Tool.”
In addition to a state-of-the-art Science Lab, these projects include sustainable components that range from reflective roofing and high performance glazing to high performance HVAC systems that exceed the ASHRAE minimum standards by 40%.
