Huntingdon Area School District
The new 110,000 SF, two-story school was constructed on the existing middle school parking lot. Because the soil was highly expansive, the foundations for the first-floor construction are caissons to bedrock with concrete grade beams and shallow precast double tees. The construction is a combination of precast walls and roof planks, as well as load bearing masonry walls.
The existing middle school was demolished upon completion of the new school.
We have teamed with Keller Engineers on several design-build projects for PennDOT. When selecting a designer, the more critical factors are trust and competence, more so than a low price. If your designer makes a mistake in quantities it can cost you a lot of money. We have stayed with Keller Engineers because we trust them to provide competent service at a competitive price. S.
