We were approached by a Montessori school that needed to convert an existing junior high school by redesigning existing spaces to better suit their education initiatives. I assisted with the drafting of construction documents and worked with three other team members coordinating red-lines and alternates on a fast-track schedule to complete the set on time for construction so that the project would be complete by the beginning of the school year.
As my first project with this firm, already underway, I quickly learned the office standards and work flow so that I could be as effective as possible. We would review drawings and details, for internal quality control insuring a complete coordinated construction set required for a tight construction schedule.
The renovations to classrooms primarily consisted of new partition walls and extensive millwork. Field verification visits to the site were needed to ensure accuracy of our details, as classrooms were similar yet none exactly the same.
