The Osage community school district created a master plan to address upgrades required for existing facilities. These improvements are being addressed in 3 phases over the next three years. Bluestone Engineering was engaged by Atura Architecture and the district to design the mechanical and electrical system for these renovations and recently completed the design for the first phase, which included additions and renovations at the existing high school/middle school facility.
The district prioritized upgrading energy efficiency in this building. A new building automation system was designed to help better control the energy infrastructure of the facility. New high efficiency boilers were specified to replace the existing boiler system. The technology infrastructure in the building was incorporated to maximize WIFI coverage in the facility. This infrastructure was also leveraged to address the communication needs of the building automation system, eliminating the need for a separate building automation system cabling infrastructure.

An intermediate floor was added to the remaining north half of the gymnasium to create two levels. On the upper level, a storage mezzanine was created. Under the storage mezzanine, new, larger locker rooms/restrooms was added. In addition, a reception area, entry vestibule, principal’s office and new classroom were added.
Bluestone Engineering provided complete MEPT/FP design. New, energy efficient LED lighting and lighting controls were specified for the new and renovated areas, plus the parking lots. Rough-in was provided for a permanent and portable theatrical lighting system and sound system for the gymnasium.
The existing fire alarm system was expanded to provide voice annunciation in the new and renovated areas of the building with the capacity to extend to the entire building in the future. A grease interceptor was installed underground outside the building to meet current WRA requirement. New HVAC units were specified for the additions. A fire protection service was installed throughout the new additions and renovated areas, but was designed to eventually serve the entire school.
