John Thomas Dye School Academic Building
Project Overview
MEP engineering for the John Thomas Dye School Academic Building supports a 15,000-square-foot campus expansion in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, California. The project introduces new academic facilities, administrative pavilions, and a hillside-integrated parking structure within an existing school campus.
This ground-up educational development required a coordinated MEP engineering approach to align with architectural intent, site constraints, and campus integration.
Project Scope
MEP engineering design supports a new academic building along with associated campus improvements, including administrative pavilions and a parking structure embedded into the hillside. The academic building incorporates classrooms and learning environments, as well as a green vegetated roof designed to support sustainability and educational opportunities.
The scope required integration of HVAC design, electrical design, and plumbing design within a complex site influenced by challenging geotechnical conditions. Design efforts focused on coordinating systems within a constrained hillside environment while maintaining performance, efficiency, and constructability.
