This major multi-phase Bond project for the Brewster School District included Additions and Alterations to the HH Wells Middle School. The project was split into two phase for funding purposes. The first phase which consisted of an air conditioned addition was started first. The second phase, consisting of major renovations and infrastructure improvements, began while the first was in construction. The 2 phases were completed concurrently.  

BRONXVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

The transformation of what was a dated high school auditorium into a Broadway-quality Performing Arts Center was a labor of love for the community and the school district.  We were privileged to be part of the project which included great attention to comfort, acoustics, sound and lighting quality and atmosphere.  The Lobby addition was integrated seamlessly into the existing building.

This project included the construction of a 3, 600 sq.ft. addition to house a new boiler plant and electric switchgear room.  The purpose of the project was to replace these vital building systems, which had been damaged repeatedly due to flooding, and relocated them well above flood level.

This complex, phased project was completed in 2011, on-time and within budget.  The new boiler plant employed ultra-high efficiency boilers which yielded a substantial energy savings to the district.

All Electric Sustainable Building

The Justice Sonia Sotomayor Community School, a newly constructed, 82,000 sq ft, 4-story, all electric sustainable building — will house approximately 675 pre-K to 8.  The school will offer a medical clinic, dental and eye-care services, providing services to families in the community. Barile Gallagher & Associates was an integral part of the school project team.  We assisted the district and our architectural partner, KG+G Architects, PC, with great emphasis on the quality of their learning environment and the community.  All new state-of-the-art high efficiency HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical systems complement the student learning experience.  

We have a long standing relationship with the Dobbs Ferry Union Free School District.  Through the years we have performed Master Plans, Additions, Alterations and Renovations to all of the buildings in the district. While the occupants of the buildings change from year to year, the buildings themselves must consistently function. They must be maintained and renewed over time.  We enjoy the challenge of helping the district meet the changing needs of the educational process with infrastructure that is always up to the task.

This project was made possible by NYSERDA Funding.  Detailed energy models were developed for each building using D.O.E. E-Quest Software.  Each building was surveyed to evaluate its condition.  Potential energy saving upgrades were applied to the models and payback periods were calculated.  A Master Report was then generated and presented at Public School Board meetings.  The School Board will select those upgrades that will be implemented.
