Knox County Schools
ADA Upgrades to Various Facilities
Knoxville, TN

This multi-phase project involves updating plumbing in many Knox County schools to better serve students and faculty by bringing the facilities up to current Americans with Disabilities Act standards. This includes updating restrooms to provide handicap access in numerous facilities. Many of the schools are more than 50 years old, and one is more than 80 years old. Our engineers designed and refined the upgrades to best serve the facility and meet the ADA requirements.

Scott County Boys & Girls Club
New Facility
Oneida, TN

The 50,000 sq. ft. Scott County Boys and Girls club is one of the largest in the nation. Built by the Boys and Girls Club of the Tennessee Valley, the facility contains a gymnasium and large indoor pool as well as a cafeteria and learning areas for children ranging in age from kindergarten to teenagers. We designed large split systems to control the temperature in each section of the buildings. The outside air is treated and dehumidified with a central unit, using excess condenser reheat, prior to being distributed to each split system. Our engineers always enjoy working on projects for service organizations such as this.

This project involves HVAC and plumbing design for the renovation of the Clyde H. York 4-H camp in Crossville, TN. Originally known as Camp Crossville, it was a World War II P.O.W. camp and housed German and Italian officers from November 1942 until the end of the war. Portions of the original barracks and a small museum are on the site today. The 4-H organization is a youth branch of the Cooperative Extension Service, a research and education program of the United States Department of Agriculture. Types of constructions at this facility include dormitories and residential facilities for large group retreats. The above photo shows some of the construction progress on one building as of January 2004.
