In recent years, costs have risen steadily in the maintenance of public schools. In response, our focus has turned towards designing mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems capable of supporting multi-use classrooms, offers ease in maintenance while consuming less energy- thereby reducing overall costs. To enhance the learning environment, other considerations made include designing acoustically efficient classrooms to diminish sound transference in addition to constructing systems capable of sustaining internet-ready computer classrooms as well as workstations and laboratories.
