Heber Springs Cafeteria Remodel - Heber Springs, Arkansas

Posted: October 5, 2023 | Projects

The primary goal of this high school cafeteria renovation was to increase seating capacity to 300 or more, and to add code-compliant restrooms, air-conditioning, and a walk-in freezer to the kitchen. In addition, the renovation created a more open and enjoyable dining area. Altogether, over 1,000 square feet were added, and approximately 4,600 square feet were renovated. Along with the new square footage, the existing stage was removed in order to help meet the new seating requirement. Natural light was enhanced with the use of a light shelf running the length of the south wall. A new low-maintenance rubber floor was installed, with a floor pattern that mimics the painted building structure.

S.E.R.T. Building, Iowa Lakes Community College - Estherville, Iowa

Posted: September 27, 2023 | Projects

The 42,940-square-foot Sustainable Energy, Resources and Technologies (S.E.R.T) Building at Iowa Lakes Community College was created teach sustainable energy technology to students in a year-round protected environment. The entire floor of the atrium is served by a radiant floor heating system, supplemented by geothermal wells under the parking lot. Additionally, the exterior south face of the building has a structural steel screen supporting a solar PV array that provides electricity to power the mechanical units installed on the exterior north side of the building. Solar shading of the aluminum curtainwall glazing was accomplished by an all-aluminum sunshade device installed in the steel framework by the entrance to the facility. Off the east side of the atrium, a turbine blade was installed upright so the students can practice rappelling down the side, but in a controlled environment. At the student lounge area, the geothermal heat pump room is showcased behind glass with blue LED lighting to highlight the space.
