At Harrison High School in Kennesaw, Ga., a school originally built in 1991, Swinerton serves as general contractor for the $15.4 million infrastructure upgrades and renovation. The project involves the replacement or installation of over 200 pieces of equipment throughout the school. The structural scope includes conversion of the former home economics room to a new general classroom; upgrades to four restrooms with new fixtures, ADA railings, accessories and paint; replacement of two roof sections; upgrades to 14 rooftop HVAC units; and replacement of the air handler unit. Additionally, a new emergency responder radio repeater system will be installed to enhance emergency communications by improving first responders’ handheld radio signal strength. Swinerton expects to leverage its self-perform expertise for the installation of door frames, hardware and acoustic ceiling tiles. To minimize disruption to the occupied school, work will be strategically scheduled during holiday breaks and short windows of time, with a concentrated effort over two summer breaks for larger tasks. Careful planning ensures all spaces are fully functional after each phase. Extensive preplanning, regular plan reviews, and close collaboration with trade partners will be critical to the success of the project.
