Minimize overall operating costs
Design Highlights
Cincinnati’s new K-12 School for the Creative and Performing Arts, the first school of its kind in the nation, will feature three different performance venues. To meet the needs of this unique school, engineers developed a central air flow approach to heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning that will reduce outside air being brought into the building, thereby lowering ventilation requirements. The system is expected to lower construction costs as well as long-term operating costs. In addition, specialty lighting and sound and recording systems will provide students with a professional-quality environment for learning.
