Elizabeth Forward High School
Services: Engineering/Construction Management
Client: Elizabeth Forward School District
Location: Elizabeth, PA
Project Cost: $3.2 million
Elizabeth Forward High School, located 35 miles southeast of
Pittsburgh, first contracted Thomas & Williamson for forensic
engineering services — an analysis of a renovation program
conducted a decade ago.
After gaining a clear picture of that project's successes and
shortcomings, the district agreed that it required a plan that
addressed both long-range and short-term improvement goals. Our firm
worked with the district to create a facility master plan in
1999.
Our plan recommended a sequential list of projects that could
gradually transform the school without breaking the budget. The
district now relies on Thomas & Williamson to provide design,
engineering, and construction management services for the following
improvement projects.
- Floor tile replacement
- Roofing replacement
- Natatorium and locker room refinishing
- HVAC upgrades
- New soccer field and softball field
- Re-oriented and re-surfaced baseball field
- Relocation of the existing transportation operations
- New parking facilities
By starting with a facility master plan, the district has been able to
build consensus on building goals, prioritize efforts, and gain
long-term cost savings.
