KAI Texas Signs on to Fort Worth Schools’ Major Renovation
As a part of the $594 million upgrades to school facilities in the Fort Worth (Texas) Independent School District, the firm of KAI Texas has begun design work to renovate the Eastern Hills High School.
Fort Worth, TX, June 15, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) will remodel Eastern Hills High School and Eastern Hills Elementary with the help of the architectural firm KAI Texas.
The 1,400-student school at 5701 Shelton St., Fort Worth, Texas, will receive a $3.9 million upgrade that is scheduled to be completed by February 2011.
Renovations to the 15,000-square-foot structure will include technology and electrical upgrades, roofing replacement, air conditioning and heating upgrades, ceiling and lighting replacement, and the installation of a new digital control system for the air conditioning and heating systems.
Most classrooms will be fitted with Promethean interactive whiteboards to aid teaching and note-taking. The project will also include additional emergency lighting and upgrades to the fire safety system in the main building. Exterior alterations will be minimal.
The renovation is part of FWISD’s $593.6 million Capital Improvement Program, overwhelmingly approved by voters in November 2007.
Additionally, KAI Texas has been hired to provide design services for Luella Merritt Elementary School and Leonard 6th Grade Center.
