Project Scope: 6,000 Sq. ft. MEP

Client/ Architect: Lasky Architect

Status: Completed

PROJECT OVERVIEW

School of Rock is a performance-based music education facility that offers group band practices alongside individual instrument lessons for both children and adults. The project was executed within a 4,000–6,000 sq ft adaptive reuse space designed to foster an engaging environment for musicians.

OUR CONTRIBUTION

We provided MEP engineering solutions, utilizing BIM point cloud scanning from retrofit surveys to eliminate 97% of design clashes during the 20-week tenant improvement schedule. Our team integrated zoned DDC scheduling that synchronizes HVAC and lighting systems with class timetables, and implemented ERV cores capable of recovering 75% of winter preheat. Additionally, we installed LED stage washes with 10% standby dimming to ensure both operational efficiency and high acoustic performance, enabling 15 simultaneous bands to practice at 95 dB(A) peaks without disturbing adjacent tenants.

ACHIEVEMENT

These design interventions yielded 35% in total energy savings.
