Hudsonville Public Schools – 5/6 Building

Story

This 112,000 SF building appears as a one-story structure from the front but is actually two stories. Built on previously submerged land, it faced initial poor site conditions. A four-month delay in structural steel delivery didn’t alter the project schedule, demonstrating excellent teamwork. The building, designed for 5th and 6th graders, features numerous angles and no straight walls, posing additional challenges. Despite the tight schedule, NWK upheld high workmanship standards with a relatively young crew. Notably, the installation of two fire dampers per chase in confined spaces was particularly time-consuming. Additionally, the school includes a large snowmelt system.
