Jones High School Additions and Alterations Phase B

CTG successfully executed Phase B of the Jones High School Additions and Alterations project in Orlando, Florida, showcasing our expertise in large-scale educational facility construction and renovation. This ambitious undertaking, valued at $14.4 million, involved the complete transformation of the existing 214,000 sq. ft. campus while maintaining ongoing school operations.

Key Project Details:

Location: Orlando, Florida
Client: URS/Orange County Public Schools
Completion Date: August 2003
Project Size: Two-Story, 58-Classroom Building and Administration Building

Scope of Work:

Our comprehensive responsibilities included estimating, value engineering, procurement of long-lead items, and construction contracting. The project encompassed:

Demolition of all existing campus buildings
Construction of a state-of-the-art two-story classroom building
Development of a new administration building
Implementation of parking and site adaptations

Key Features:

Classroom Building: Houses 1,550 student stations across 58 classrooms, each equipped with an innovative audio enhancement system for improved lecture delivery.
Administration Building: Includes a main reception area, conference rooms, administrative offices, faculty lounges, a counseling center with reception area, and a school clinic.
Tilt-up Construction: Employed to expedite wall erection and enhance exterior aesthetics, allowing for faster project completion.

CTG’s strategic approach to phased construction enabled the entire rebuild of the campus while school remained in session. This meticulous planning and execution allowed students to transition from temporary portable classrooms back to the main campus for the 2003-2004 school year.

The successful completion of Phase B marks a significant milestone in Jones High School’s modernization, providing students and staff with cutting-edge educational facilities designed to enhance learning experiences and administrative efficiency.
