classrooms, a 600-seat auditorium, three gymnasiums, a library, a distance learning
classroom, a complete woodshop, and two computer rooms.HVAC systems included 77 roof-mounted HVAC units for heating and
cooling. Each unit used direct expansion compressors for cooling and utility-supplied gas
for heating. All units were controlled through a school-standard direct digital control
system, which can provide remote control access to the HVAC system.

a complete video distribution system.
