Milhouse Engineering & Construction

Client:

Chicago Board of Education

Scope Of Work

The A.N. Pritzker Elementary School commissioned this project to modernize and replace its existing mechanical  systems.  Milhouse provided  mechanical,  electrical,  and architectural design services for this Chicago Public Schools (CPS) project.

Work included the replacement of  lighting  throughout  all  classrooms  and  office  areas;  modernization  of  the  school’s  fire  alarm  and communications systems; and the addition of a new fuel-fired generator to provide emergency power to critical life-safety equipment.

The mechanical upgrades included the installation of a controls system that provides detailed monitoring and control of the building’s new and existing mechanical systems. The project also required that the building’s  existing  facilities  be  reworked  to  comply  with ADA  requirements  for  accessible  restrooms, auditorium seating, and door openers.  New flooring and paint were also added to improve the aesthetics of classrooms and administrative offices.
