Scope Of Work
The Uno Galewood Charter School was an innovative and ambitious design-build project with a highly compressed time-line. Together with UrbanWorks, our design partner for the project, we had just under a year to design, bid, and build for occupancy by students and staff. The main building is a three-story steel and precast structure which houses the classrooms and offices. Each classroom has wireless internet access points, four data drops, an overhead projector with media processor, HDMI and Mic input (for iPod players), and an amplified sound system. The primary design feature of the building is the adjacent 58-foot tall “skyspace,” a sloping wall which houses the multipurpose and resources rooms. This project achieved LEED Silver.
