GPI provided engineering design services for the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems for Flint Hill School.
Following an evaluation of multiple HVAC approaches, an air-cooled variable refrigerant volume heat recovery system paired with dedicated outdoor air systems was selected to provide energy-efficient heating, cooling, and ventilation throughout the 40,000-SF facility. GPI designed for a collaborative learning environment with classrooms, learning centers, laboratories, a cafeteria, and a gymnasium. Specialized exhaust systems were incorporated within the Maker Lab to remove heat, dust, and fumes generated by equipment and hands-on learning activities, supporting a safe and functional instructional space.
This project received the AIA | Nova Design Award.
